Tarrytown, NY (PRWEB) February 22, 2012
The LightPod Forte™ is a 1064nm gold-standard laser for podiatry (Nd:YAG) with more than a 90% success rate in nail treatment. It emits energy in a gentle pulse lasting for a 0.65 millisecond on the foot or ankle, coagulating soft tissue including warts, fungal material, vascular formations, telangiectasias (spider veins), scars and even tattoos. The maintenance-free LightPod Forte passes its laser energy through the nail plate or the epidermis, delivering most of its heat into the targeted tissue for maximum results, diminishing or completely eliminating undesired tissue structures.
Due to the ground breaking technology behind the LightPod Forte laser™, podiatrists can treat their patients with advanced laser technology in multiple locations at a fraction of the cost of bulkier lasers. For patients, treatment is less painful, less expensive and less time-consuming. Patients no longer have to rely on prescription meds or topical antifungals, or endure dangerous side effects. The Forte’s uniquely powerful 51 joules/cm2 on a 5mm spot is what allows the podiatric treatment to be quick, equating to an incredible less than one minute per nail. The true magic of the LightPod Forte™ though lies is in the unique mix of the high power laser and the pulse duration, making this breakthrough laser technology effective yet tolerable for the patient.
