Alma Lasers is proud to join the fight against toe nail fungus and boasts some important advantages when it comes to onychomycosis care.

• Fast and easy to use
• Non toxic
• No systemic blood monitoring needed

It’s important to note that toe nail fungus is caused by an infecting organism. The organism resides in the nail bed. It stands to reason that any treatment should reach that level to get to the real problem. The innovative treatment from Alma Lasers utilizes two separate technologies, Q-Switch and Nd:YAG. Both modules operate at the 1064 nm wavelength. The laser light is transmitted through the nail plate to the nail bed where it’s absorbed by the pigmented yeasts responsible for the infection.

The Harmony Family of cosmetic lasers, with eleven distinct technologies and more than 65 aesthetic/medical applications, creates strong opportunities for practitioners hoping to serve a variety of patients. The onychomycosis modules, while the latest treatment innovation, don’t represent the full spectrum of procedures available with this versatile device. We’re confident, as a matter of fact, that the Harmony Family of cosmetic lasers can help you do more for your patients than just about any competing system out there.

Onychomycosis turns toe and finger nails into rough, crumbly yellow plates that are hard to look at. While only severe cases usually cause pain, dermatophytic onychomycosis can be unsettling to anyone who suffers from the malady.  Onychomycosis, or toe nail fungus, is not rare. According to the onychomycosis Wikipedia page, “The prevalence of onychomycosis is about 6-8% in the adult population.” That’s a lot of patients; and Alma Lasers is proud to join the fight against toe nail fungus.

The Alma Lasers onychomycosis tool boasts some important competitive advantage:

• Fast and easy to use
• Non toxic
• No systemic blood monitoring needed

Two distinct technologies are utilized in this novel approach, the Q-Switch and the Nd:YAG. The laser light is transmitted through the nail plate to the nail bed and absorbed by the pigmented yeast responsible for the toe nail infection.

Both onychomycosis modules are part of the Harmony XL cosmetic laser. This means that existing Harmony XL owners can add the ability to battle toe nail fungus via an upgrade. Please contact us immediately for more information.

Most aesthetic professionals know the importance of providing a great treatment. It’s important that patients feel their investment of time and money was well spent, after all. It’s just as important, we believe, to match the treatment to the patient’s lifestyle and preferences, especially when it comes to recovery time and pain.

Let’s face it; some patients who might like to have a treatment won’t because of the possible down time. Others may choose to avoid the pain associated with some cosmetic laser treatments. This skin rejuvenation patient’s checklist might look like this.

The treatment must be:

• Quick enough to be completed over my lunch hour
• Virtually painless
• Have little downtime and NO DOWNTIME is better

Most important, the treatment must give me a great result.

The Pixel Q-Switch, part of the Harmony XL cosmetic laser, blends technology with many patient’s wishes. The television show EXTRA featured this system and Nurse Jamie called it, “…a game changer.”

In our follow-up discussion, Jamie – Nurse Jamie – Sherrill said, “…Even though traditional Pixel offers minimal downtime, the promise of no downtime brought a new demographic. People that were afraid to try laser resurfacing in the past are doing so now.” Sounds like we did our job, doesn’t it?

We’ll bring you more information on the Pixel Q-Switch, the Harmony XL and skin rejuvenation soon. In the mean time, schedule your on site demo and provide your patients with the benefits of no downtime today.

In our recent webinar, “Must See Innovations, Advancements in Platform Technology,” Dr. Michael Gold, Nashville, TN Gold Skin Care Center, addressed these issues.

It’s important to note that Dr. Gold has been a practicing Dermatologist for 23 years. He has worked with lasers for over two decades. We were very fortunate to have such an experienced pro presenting and, in the webinar, Dr. Gold made some excellent observations.

• Patient’s priorities vary by group and location. While tone and texture may be most important to one group, another may place a higher emphasis on getting rid of acne and/or acne scarring.

• Laser hair removal remains an in-demand procedure. In fact, laser hair removal still accounts for a big chunk of the procedures that can keep an office busy.

• Skin rejuvenation remains popular, as well. Professionals are combining different treatment protocols such as fractionated skin resurfacing to further fight the signs of aging.

• Per the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, trends indicate that laser practitioners are seeing more men and ethnic groups seeking aesthetic procedures. As Dr. Gold said, “Skin of color is becoming a norm in the laser business.”

Considering these important points, it’s clear that the cosmetic laser you rely on must be ready for anything. If your hair removal laser, for example, can’t treat darker skin types you’ll have no choice but to turn away patients. Do you really want to send patient’s to your competitor? The Soprano XLi, an 810 diode hair removal platform, can help you welcome skin of color patients. Best of all, the Soprano XLi features an additional NIR module with all systems. Will this add another revenue stream to your practice? The platform technology is an added benefit compared to many other hair removal lasers.

In fact, platform technology such as Alma Lasers’ Harmony XL gives you an advantage in that your cosmetic laser can be customized to your practice. If your patients value tone and texture more than acne scaring, you know which modules to invest in. The system is upgradeable, too, so when the trends change you can add a module and stay ahead of the competition. Case in point:

The latest Harmony XL module can enhance your arsenal of tools with non-ablative fractional resurfacing. The virtually painless Pixel Q-Switch boasts no downtime. Are these two factors important to your clients?
