Cutera's GenesisPlus

Are you embarrassed to show your toenails in public because they are discolored and thick? Have you been diagnosed with Onychomycosis, also known as toenail fungus? We can help!

Cutera's GenesisPlus is a state-of-the-art laser that has proven to be a quick, easy, safe, and highly effective procedure that treats the fungus at the source. It is also a safe and effective treatment for warts.

What is Onychomycosis?
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails. It is a very common condition and is estimated to infect at least 10% of the population worldwide. You may suffer from Onychomycosis if you have one or more of the following symptoms:

• Thickened nail
• Brittle, crumbly or ragged nail
• Distorted in shape or separated
• Dull, with no luster or shine
• A dark color, caused by debris building up under nail

How is GenesisPlus different from other treatments?
Until recently the only treatments were oral medications that could cause liver damage and topical creams that take months to take effect—and only then with limited success.

GenesisPlus is fast becoming the laser treatment of choice for successfully treating this embarrassing condition:

• High success rate in only 1 - 3 treatments
• Treatment takes approximately 15 minutes
• Painless
• No side effects

How does it work?
The laser passes over the infected nail and surrounding skin until enough energy has reached the nail bed. Your nail will feel warm during this treatment. Depending on how many toes are involved, a single treatment session will take approximately 15 minutes. Treatment times will vary, so please contact us for more information.

GenesisPlus is very safe. No side effects or adverse reactions have been reported. Most patients describe the procedure as being painless with a small hot pinch at the end that resolves quickly.

How many treatments are recommended?
The number of treatments will vary depending on how severely each digit is infected. After the initial treatment, most physicians will follow up 3 - 12 weeks later.

What can I expect immediately following the procedure? When will I see results?
Immediately following the procedure your nail may feel warm for a few minutes. Over the coming weeks, your nail should begin to grow out clear of any fungus and you will begin to see new healthy nail. Onychomycosis may slow the growth of your nail, so result time frames will vary. On average, most patients will start to see results within 8 - 10 weeks.

How soon can I return to normal activities?
The majority of patients can resume normal activities immediately after their treatment. We'll discuss this in more detail with you.

Will the fungus come back?
The infection improves following one treatment but you will need to continue with home care techniques to reduce recurrence of the infection. There is a chance of re-infection because the fungus is present everywhere in the environment.

When can I paint my nails or have a pedicure?
You can apply polish immediately after the treatment. It is important to remove all nail polish and nail decorations the day before your treatment.
