We are very pleased to be able to offer our
patients Laser treatment, one of only a few practices in the UK that have
access to Laser technology.
Our Laser is a 1064nm Nd YAG powerful (40w)
class 4 medical laser. The use of this Laser has transformed treatments for
Warts & Verrucae and Fungal nail infections. It also allows us to
effectively treat Thread veins/Spider veins (Telangectasia)
On the low level infrared settings the
Laser can also offer effective treatments for a range of musculoskeletal
problems such as Tendonitis, Plantar fasciitis, Arthritis, Capsulitis, and
quicker healing times for skin wounds.
