Bay Harbor Podiatry Group Launches New Revolutionary Laser Treatment for Nail
Fungus

LA's Premier South Bay Podiatrists Introduce the Most Effective Safe, Quick &
Painless Treatment to Eliminate Stubborn Onychomycosis

TORRANCE, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Bay Harbor Podiatry Group, providing
cutting-edge medical treatments and personalized podiatry care for over 25
years, is taking the fight against nail fungus to a new level with the launch
of a revolutionary laser treatment that is the most effective at eliminating
stubborn toenail fungus (Onychomycosis).  Using a laser, the doctors penetrate
all toenails without affecting the underlying tissue to eliminate fungus.  The
treatment is safe, painless and done in a single 30-minute office visit. 
Results to date show this course of treatment to be nearly 80 percent
effective without any side effects.

"I've never been able to offer as powerful, effective and safe a treatment as
this new laser technology. And the best part is there are no dangerous side
effects, no pharmaceutical prescriptions, and it's achieved during a single
office visit," said Dr. Marc G. Mittleman, founder and director of Bay Harbor
Podiatry Group.  "I've personally seen the embarrassment and shame brought on
by this very common disease. Here at last is an effective treatment that
allows everyone the chance to show their feet again with pride." 

Dr. Mittleman and his physicians treat all toes on both feet with the laser
regardless of infection to eliminate the possible spread of the fungus.
Patients can expect to see healthy nails within 8 - 10 months.  

Onychomycosis affects approximately 35 million people in the U.S. and almost
50% of the population over age 40.  It's frequently transmitted in nail
salons, gyms and other places where people go without shoes. No single or
combined topical treatments have proven to be more than 25 percent effective. 
While some oral medications tout success rates as high as 65 percent, they
require three months of treatment and carry a serious risk of liver damage and
require frequent blood testing and monitoring throughout treatment.  

With Bay Harbor Podiatry Group's new PinPointe laser treatment, patients can
resume physical activities and wear normal shoes or paint their nails
immediately following the procedure. For more information, visit
