Is It FDA Cleared?

At Sarasota Foot Care Center, we utilize the Remy Laser, an FDA-registered Class IV laser designed for podiatrists to treat various foot and ankle conditions. This versatile laser can effectively address acute and chronic pain, inflammation, fungal infections, and skin conditions.

How Does Laser Therapy Accelerate Healing and Reduce Pain?

The Remy Laser works by promoting cellular repair and regeneration. Laser therapy is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment option with little to no downtime. It’s a state-of-the-art solution for patients seeking faster recovery and improved comfort in their treatment plan.

How Do I Know If It’s Working?

Most patients do not experience drastic improvement after just one visit. After the first week, you should begin to notice improvement, which continues with additional treatments. Most patients experience up to 75% improvement in pain after six treatments.

Are There Any Side Effects?

There are no known risks or side effects with the Remy Laser. You receive pain relief and healing without the risks associated with more invasive treatments.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

There are no restrictions or limitations following treatment, and you may return to normal activities immediately.

Who Is Not a Candidate?

• Patients with active cancer
• Those who are pregnant
• Patients with severe infections in the treatment area

Is This Covered by Insurance?

While the Remy Laser is FDA-cleared, treatments are not typically covered by insurance. However, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) may be used. Laser therapy is often more affordable than invasive procedures that involve insurance co-pays and higher out-of-pocket costs.

Is It Safe While Nursing?

Yes, laser therapy is safe while nursing.

How Long Does It Take to See Improvement in Nail Health?

Patients typically begin to see new, healthy nail growth within 4 to 6 months after treatment. Full nail clearance may take 12 months or longer, as toenails grow approximately 1 millimeter per month.

Can I Get a Pedicure Between Treatments?

Pedicures at nail salons may interfere with laser treatment due to sterilization concerns and removal of protective cuticles. We recommend medical nail trimming in our office. If polish is needed for a special event, remove it as soon as possible afterward.

Am I Contagious During Laser Nail Treatment?

Yes, fungal infections can spread through shared bathroom spaces, locker rooms, pools, shoes, clothing, and carpeting. Proper hygiene and precautions are recommended during treatment.
