Below, we discuss some key tips what to do at home between laser treatments as well as a cost-effective option for sanitizing your shoes instead of throwing them out.
Protect Your Investment in Laser Treatment with the SteriShoe® UV Shoe Sanitizer
Post Treatment Care
We recommend that you bring clean socks to wear after your laser treatment.
During your first laser treatment, we will disinfect your shoes with your SteriShoe UV shoe sanitizer (if purchased) while your toes are being treated with the laser. During the course of your laser treatment, continue to disinfect your shoes after each use with SteriShoe.
After you shower, dry your feet and toes thoroughly. Keep nails trimmed.
Alternate your shoes daily: do not wear the same pair of shoes on consecutive days. This allows for the moisture in your shoes to dry out (your feet sweat an average of 16 oz per day!!).
Your laser treatment may be supplemented with the use of a topical medication. Applying the new JUBLIA® (efinaconazole) Topical Solution 10% daily. Use as directed.
Getting your feet to breath, allowing them to be in more open air. There is nothing better for your feet post laser treatment than a sunny day at the beach barefoot. The sand, sun air and saltwater all work to keep your feet fungus free.
