今天坐地铁在随手拿了份LONDON METRO报纸,无意看到一个灰指甲镭射治疗的广告。记得过去苹果上也讨论过灰指甲,但是似乎没有提到过镭射疗法,网上搜了中文信息没有镭射相关的疗法信息,只有从英文里搜出了关于镭射的,是不是是最新技术?看后来介绍确实是最近才出来的。
记下了报纸上的广告网址如下: http://www.thelondonnaillaserclinic.co.uk/how_is_it_treated.php
这个网站上说镭射疗法是灰指甲治疗的革命,大家如何看的?讨论下吧。
For a very mild infection with only superficial discoloration and no thickening, some people choose to not treat the infection. However is a chance that it will affect other nails or deteriorate over time.
For many people the delay in treatment has been due to the lack of any effective and safe treatment up until now.
Lacquers have been used by many people and are indicated for minor infections with only 1 or 2 nails affected at the tip. It can take more than a year of treatment and they are not particularly effective.
Taking antifungal medication orally can be effective for some people and is the traditional treatment for the infection. It can take between 3-6 months of taking the tablets daily. There are potential side effects to the liver and liver function blood tests are advised to monitor for problems.
这个口服抗真菌药物的方法很伤肝,上次大家讨论时候都排斥这种方法了,而且要服用这么长时间啊,就算怎么吃保护肝脏的保健品都没用吧?
Both of these treatments have had a maximum of 60-67% effectiveness in studies reported in the British Medical Journal. Some NHS Trusts or GPs refuse or discourage treatment of fungal infections because of the lack of effective and safe options available until now.
还有看下美国得到的数据:
NIH funded doctors and scientists have spent better than two years of research to develop the PinPointe FootLaser device and procedure. The study presented as part of the CE certification showed an 88% success rate. There is also a separate 48 week, 120+ patient, multi-site study being conducted by some of the world’s most experienced medical experts in the area of toenail fungus. Initial results are due at the beginning of 2010.
In addition there are a large number of Podiatrists in the USA who have been successfully using the PinPointe FootLaser since mid-2008. They have seen excellent clinical results in their patients. As an example, Dr. Michael Uro in Sacramento, CA has treated many hundreds of patients with fungal toenail infections and has achieved better than 85% success in nail clearance
最后一些成功例子的照片http://www.thelondonnaillaserclinic.co.uk/case_studies.php
注意下:指甲要12-18个月才能彻底长出新的来,他们放上去的照片只是做好镭射以后最初4个月的照片,指甲并没有全部长出来哦,但是已经改善很多了
大家如何看啊?有人做过吗?
