Laser Fungal Nail Treatment Training

While I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose anything, I am treating this as Superficial White Onychomycosis. This is picture is after one treatment.

Four treatments with a q-switched nd:yag laser

Seven treatments with a q-switched nd:yag laser.

Two treatments down and two to go in their package. Look at the improvement!

I just wanted to provide some feedback as I just did the foot fungus course with Dave Raphael! Initially I was very hesitant to send money to somebody who I did not know and who did not have the accreditation and I was not alone in that hesitation.

My instincts told me that I should take the risk and I am grateful I did!

The course outline was very straightforward. Dave answered all of my questions and there were a lot of them!

My biggest concern was me being able to identify the different foot fungus because it is very easy to mix those up, but I believe I can confidently identify what type of foot fungus I will be dealing with after this course.

Managing client expectations is one of the most important things, but that goes without saying because we do laser tattoo removal and that is a big part of our job already.

One thing that I didn’t consider (which is pretty silly of me) is that I will need to purchase some equipment to be able to do these treatments. Once I have this equipment I will be taking on volunteers to try out the course and see what my hands on experience is like so I can report back here.

In comparison to previous training through my laser company, I felt that Dave’s course was much more thorough than previous courses I have taken. At no point did I question his knowledge on the subject, which I cannot say for the courses my laser company offers.
