Boston Common Podiatry, led by established Boston podiatrist and board certified foot surgeon Jordana Szpiro, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S., now offers state-of-the-art laser treatments for foot fungus, warts, scars and thermal resurfacing with the GenesisPlus Nd:YAG laser by Cutera.

Boston Common Podiatry is one of the only providers in the Boston area using the powerful and innovative FDA-cleared GenesisPlus laser in the treatment of fungal nails.

The GenesisPlus laser provides a fast, highly effective solution, with minimal discomfort for warts, scars and Onychomycosis, which is a fungal infection that causes toenails to thicken, discolor and split. It is also ideal for skin rejuvenation and the treatment of spider veins.

No “Down Time” & Impressive Results

Boston Common Podiatry’s impressive 80 watt GenesisPlus laser is 20 times stronger than the four watt PinPointe foot laser, which was previously used. The new laser also treats a larger, five-millimeter area. For patients suffering with toenail fungus, results may be seen after one 15-30 minute session with the GenesisPlus laser. There is no down-time and no serious side effects.

“Previously, the treatment options for toenail fungus were the PinPointe laser or oral and topical prescription medications. The GenesisPlus laser is safe, quick, with minimal discomfort, and provides results that are superior to other previous types of treatments,” noted Dr. Szpiro.
