Laser therapy works by boosting your body’s natural healing process or removing warts or fungus. Light energy crosses your skin’s barrier, penetrating deeper tissues. Dr. Frank uses the latest advances in laser technology to maximize podiatric outcomes.

He uses a handheld device to emit laser energy into specific areas within your feet or ankles without harming the surrounding tissues. You get to relax during laser therapy, and you’ll experience fast pain relief. You may feel a slight warming sensation as laser energy targets specific cells, warts, or fungus.
