PODIATRY LASER TREATMENTS

ADVANCED PODIATRY LASER TREATMENTS IN QUEENSTOWN FOR NAILS, INJURIES & PLANTAR WARTS

Fungal Nail Treatment Queenstown (Onychomycosis) - A Proven Solution for Healthier Nails

Fungal nail infections can cause thickened, discolored, and brittle nails. Our warm laser therapy provides a safe, targeted treatment option that eliminates the infection at its source without damaging surrounding tissue.

Our podiatrist, having completed an advanced Masterclass in Fungal Nail Management, combines cutting-edge laser technology with a pharmaceutical-grade treatment protocol that targets infection at its source—both on the nail, and in the environment.

Unlike cold laser therapy, which merely suppresses fungal activity without destroying it, the laser delivers deep, targeted thermal energy that penetrates the nail plate and kills the fungal spores at their source. Clinical research confirms that lasers in the 900–1064nm range,, result in significantly higher fungal clearance rates and healthier nail regrowth compared to cold lasers, which lack the heat required to be truly effective (Jin et al., Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2016).

Because cold lasers pose minimal therapeutic risk, they can be used with no formal training or regulation, highlighting their limited clinical impact. In contrast, 980nm and 1064nm diode laser therapy requires specific legislative training and clinical expertise, reflecting the power and precision of the technology. If you’re seeking real results—not just symptom suppression—our advanced laser system is the superior choice for lasting nail health.

How It Works:

The laser penetrates the nail plate and heats the fungal spores, effectively killing the infection. It stimulates healthier nail growth over time.

Benefits:

Non-invasive and pain-free.

No downtime—resume your daily activities immediately.

A safe and effective solution for long-term nail health.

Supporting Research:

Studies have shown that the 980nm diode laser therapy significantly improves nail health and appearance in cases of Onychomycosis.

Knee, Foot and Ankle Injuries - Laser Recovery for Pain and Mobility

Our laser therapy is a highly effective treatment for soft tissue injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and ligament strains. By reducing inflammation and stimulating cellular repair, laser therapy accelerates healing and restores mobility.

How It Works:

The laser increases blood flow and delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues. It stimulates ATP production, energizing cells to repair and regenerate.

Benefits:

Rapid reduction in pain and inflammation.

Faster recovery and improved mobility.

Non-invasive and painless with no downtime.

Supporting Research:

A study published in Lasers in Medical Science demonstrated significant pain reduction and improved function in patients with musculoskeletal conditions after low-level laser therapy.

Plantar Wart Treatment - Effective and Non-Invasive Wart Removal

Plantar warts, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can be stubborn and painful. Our diode laser delivers precise energy to the wart tissue, effectively destroying the infection while leaving healthy skin unharmed. We have the only Podiatry laser in Queenstown that effectively treats vascular warts.

How It Works:

The laser’s energy heats and destroys the infected cells, targeting the wart at its source. It stimulates the immune system to clear the remaining virus. For Vascular Warts, laser works by destroying the small blood vessels that feed the wart, effectively starving it of nutrients and halting its growth at the source.

Benefits:

Quick and relatively painless treatment. We can apply topical or injected Local Anaesthetic to ease any discomfort.

Highly effective for even persistent warts.

Minimal recovery time with immediate return to activities.

Supporting Research:

Clinical evidence supports the efficacy of laser therapy for treating plantar warts, with high success rates.

Wound Healing - Faster and Safer Healing for Chronic and Surgical Wounds

For slow-healing or chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers or surgical wounds, laser therapy enhances the body’s natural healing processes by improving circulation and stimulating tissue regeneration.

How It Works:

The laser promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the wound.

It accelerates tissue regeneration, encouraging faster closure of wounds.

Benefits:

Reduces healing time for complex wounds.

Minimizes the risk of infection.

Improves skin quality and resilience as wounds heal.

Supporting Research:

A study in Lasers in Medical Science found that low-level diode laser therapy promotes collagen synthesis and accelerates wound healing.
