It is an infection caused by mushrooms which affects nail, generally to those of the feet. The infection starts on one of the big toes, and can then infect other nails on the same foot over time. It can happen that people who have onychomycosis suffer from athlete's foot at the same time, which is also caused by fungi, but in this case it would only affect the skin.
Onychomycosis laser
The FDA has approved the use of Nd: YAG Q SWITCHED laser for the treatment of onychomycosis. Our medical centers have this advanced laser technology Helios for treating mycosis of the fingernails and toenails with a 90% of therapeutic effectiveness. This is because They transmit a light energy through the nail that eradicates the fungus and allows it to grow normally.
The laser is used on all nails, whether affected or not. Although it is a prolonged treatment, the changes are evident from the beginning, managing to improve the aesthetics of the nails from the first sessions. This is how you can see immediate whitening and thinning of the nails. These dehydrate, dry, pulverize and resume their usual growth previously inhibited by the action of the fungus.
Treatment of severe onychomycosis
The treatment is especially effective in cases of distal and proximal onychomycosis. During the treatment the laser beam produces a slow and gradual heating of the nail bed, this produces the destruction of the fungus without damaging the matrix of the nail or the skin. After the first session, the sensation of pain relief and improvement in appearance. it will be evident. However, because the nail grows slowly, there will be no instantaneous but gradual improvement.
Advantages of laser nail treatment
Safe and effective.
Fast and easy.
Without local anesthesia. The patient immediately continues with all kinds of activities, including sports.
Footwear can be worn and nails can be polished immediately after treatment.
So far today no adverse effects or contraindications have been observed for this treatment.
Duration of the procedure
The procedure consists of one session per week during the first month. After this first stage, the doctor will indicate the time interval between the following sessions. This treatment it is carried out until the total replacement of the affected nail / s is achieved. In the case of the hands, it is usually a minimum of six months, while in the case of the feet it is approximately 12 months. Those patients who due to geographical distance cannot perform the procedure at the recommended frequency, usually take a double session in the same day.

Removal of Pigmented Nevi with Laser: Effective and Safe Treatment
What are Pigmented Nevi?
Nevi, commonly known as moles, are growths on the skin formed by accumulations of pigmented cells called melanocytes. Although they are generally benign, it is important that any changes in their size, shape or color be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out more serious problems such as melanoma.
Advantages of Laser Mole Treatment
The use of lasers for mole removal offers multiple advantages over traditional methods. This treatment has become a popular option due to its multiple benefits:
Does not require anesthesia: Unlike other procedures that can be more invasive, laser treatment is virtually painless and does not require general anesthesia. In some cases, topical anesthesia may be used to minimize any discomfort.
Non-surgical medical-aesthetic treatment: Being a non-invasive procedure, laser treatment does not involve cuts or sutures. This significantly reduces the risk of infections and other postoperative complications.
Performed only by specialist doctors: Dermatologists and other highly trained medical professionals are the only ones authorized to perform this procedure, ensuring a high level of safety and effectiveness.
Excellent cost-effectiveness ratio: Although it may seem like an expensive treatment, laser offers superior cost-effectiveness compared to other methods. The precision of the laser reduces the need for multiple sessions and additional treatments, saving time and money in the long run.
Superior results: The results obtained with the laser are generally better in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The precision of the laser allows the mole to be removed with minimal scarring and without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Laser Treatment Process
Laser treatment for mole removal follows a well-defined process that guarantees its effectiveness and safety:
Initial consultation: The first step is a consultation with the dermatologist, where the mole is evaluated and it is determined if laser treatment is appropriate. In this consultation, the risks, benefits and expectations of the treatment are discussed.
Preparation: Before treatment, the area to be treated is cleaned and disinfected. In some cases, a numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort.
Laser application: The dermatologist uses the laser to direct pulses of intense light toward the mole. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigmented cells, destroying them without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Aftertreatment: After treatment, the treated area may be slightly red or swollen, but these effects are temporary. Aftercare is provided to speed healing and prevent infection.
Tracing: Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to evaluate progress and determine if additional sessions are needed.
Considerations and Precautions
Although laser treatment is safe and effective, there are some considerations and precautions that should be taken into account:
Type of skin: Skin color and type can influence the effectiveness of the treatment. Dermatologists adjust the laser settings to suit the individual characteristics of the patient's skin.
Pre-existing medical conditions: Patients with certain medical conditions should inform their dermatologist before treatment to evaluate any possible contraindications.
Aftercare: It is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the dermatologist to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.
Cost laser treatment for removal of moles
The cost of laser treatment for mole removal can vary depending on several factors:
Number of sessions required: Some lesions can be eliminated in a single session, while others may require multiple sessions. This depends on the size, depth and location of the mole, as well as the patient's response to treatment.
Initial evaluation by the dermatologist: It is essential that a dermatologist evaluate the lesion before proceeding with treatment. This evaluation allows us to determine the type of mole and the most appropriate treatment strategy.
Technology used: The type of laser and the technology used will also influence the cost. More advanced and specific lasers to treat pigmented nevi may have a higher cost, but they also offer better results and greater safety.

Melanocytic nevi
The melanocytic nevi They are very common benign skin lesions that are found in almost the entire population. They are commonly known as moles and can vary in appearance and characteristics, but they share some common traits that make them identifiable.
Characteristics of Melanocytic Nevi
Melanocytic nevi can be flat or raised, asymptomatic, with well-defined edges, regular coloring, and frequently small in diameter (less than 6 mm). These moles can appear anywhere on the body and their color and shape can change over time.
Stages of development
Initially, the nevic cells are located between the epidermis and the dermis (dermo-epidermal junction) and are called junctional nevi or union. In this state, they are flat lesions of dark brown or black color. As time passes, groups of melanocytes (thecae) proliferate and extend into the dermis, becoming called compound melanocytic nevi.
Coloration of the Nevus
The color of a melanocytic nevus is related to the location of the pigment (melanin):
Brown: If the majority of the pigmented cells are found in the epidermis.
Dark brown or black: If they are located in both the epidermis and the superficial dermis.
Bluish: If the melanocytes are located in the deep dermis, known as blue nevus.
Influence of Genetic and Environmental Factors
The number of melanocytic nevi that a person develops throughout their life is variable and is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, especially the degree of sun exposure to which the skin has been exposed.
Changes Throughout Life
Melanocytic nevi are dynamic proliferations that change throughout life. They can darken with sun exposure or during pregnancy and, in adulthood, they tend to progressively lose their pigmentation and can even disappear at advanced ages.
Types of Melanocytic Nevus
A) Congenital Melanocytic Nevus
The congenital melanocytic nevi They are present from birth and can vary significantly in size, from a few millimeters to covering a large part of the body surface. They are empirically classified into:
Little ones: Less than 1.5cm.
Intermediates: Between 1.5 cm and 20 cm.
Giants: More than 20 cm.
These nevi present an increased risk of developing malignant melanoma, especially in cases of giant melanocytic nevi.
B) Acquired Melanocytic Nevi
The acquired melanocytic nevi They appear after birth and can vary in size, coloration and number. They are well defined and regular in color, and can be flat or raised. They are more common in areas exposed to the sun.
C) Atypical Nevi
The atypical nevi They are moles with irregular characteristics, including irregular borders, diffuse coloration, and larger size. These patients require periodic clinical and dermoscopic controls due to the increased risk of malignancy. Preventative surgical treatment is crucial, and many of these lesions must be removed and sent to a dermatopathologist for proper diagnosis.
Practical Tips for the Care of Melanocytic Nevi
Photoprotection
Sun exposure is one of the main factors that affect the appearance and changes in melanocytic nevi. It is crucial to use adequate sun protection:
Sun creams: Apply sunscreen with a high protection factor (SPF 30 or higher) to all exposed areas, even on cloudy days.
Protective clothes: Wear hats, sunglasses and clothing that covers the skin.
Avoid hours of greatest radiation: Limit sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm, when UV radiation is most intense.
Self-exploration
Performing regular skin self-examinations is essential to detect early changes in melanocytic naevi. Follow these steps:
Check all the skin: Use a mirror to examine all areas of the body, including hard-to-see areas like the back and scalp.
Check for changes: Pay attention to any changes in the size, shape, color or texture of existing moles and the appearance of new ones.
ABCDE rule: Use this guide to identify worrisome features:
A (Asymmetry): One half of the mole is not the same as the other.
B (Edges): Irregular, uneven or poorly defined edges.
C (Color): Variation of colors, including different shades of brown, black, pink or red.
D (Diameter): Greater than 6 mm, although melanomas can be smaller.
E (Evolution): Changes in size, shape, color or any other characteristic.
Regular Dermatological Controls
Scheduling regular visits to the dermatologist is crucial, especially if you have multiple nevi or atypical nevi. A dermatologist can perform a more detailed examination, using tools such as dermoscopy to evaluate lesions more precisely.
Annual exams: At least once a year, or more frequently if you have additional risk factors.
Track changes: The dermatologist can document and follow changes in the nevi to identify any worrisome changes early.
Treatment and Management
In some cases, treatment of melanocytic nevi may be necessary:
surgical removal: Indicated in atypical nevi, giant congenital melanocytic nevi or in any nevus suspected of malignancy.
Biopsy: It can be performed to obtain a definitive diagnosis if there is doubt about the nature of a nevus.
active surveillance: For nevus that appears benign but in high-risk individuals, periodic check-ups can be scheduled.
Helios II
How is the treatment to remove moles?
Removing moles with a scalpel, whatever its size and number, leads to safe scars. With the laser, a better aesthetic opportunity is obtained because the laser light is absorbed by the nevic pigment, consequently a heating and vaporization occurs that leads to the elimination of the nevus without damaging the neighboring tissue.
We could say that treatment with Helios II laser is more accurate. Patient satisfaction is high. Recurrences are well accepted and easy to correct, therefore lasers generate more aesthetic results when it comes to removing moles for these purposes.
After more than 20 years using different laser technologies I have discovered that the Helios II Nd: YAG Q SWITCHED laser With dual pulse mode 1,064 and 532 nm it is the ideal instrument to remove moles and nevi like Ota's, quickly and safely, without scars and with very satisfactory aesthetic results.
Nevi are mostly benign skin lesions, however, prior to any laser treatment, a clinical, videoscopic and / or pathological assessment of the lesion must be performed. Most of the moles can be removed with Laser in a single session and the patient can immediately continue with his normal life, without taking any type of occlusive cure.

Dark spots on the skin can be benign or malignant. Among the most frequent benign lesions are actinic lentigines.
Clinical picture
Also called solar lentigines or senile lentigines, they are found in the areas most exposed to the sun such as the face, back of the hands, neckline and forearms. The size can be from a few millimeters to several centimeters and sometimes they are very extensive. They generally appear after the age of 40 and have an earlier development in white-skinned people who have not used adequate sun protection. Lentigines are a constant in elderly Caucasians. The most common treatments are cryosurgery and electrosurgery. These treatments are painful and often leave scars.
Process
Currently the most effective and safest treatment is the one performed with Helios Laser, with which the injury can be eliminated in a completely painless way, leaving healthy and healthy skin. The light energy of the laser is absorbed by the pigment, which is denatured without causing damage to neighboring tissues.
The recommended interval between sessions is 15 days, it can also be weekly or monthly.
The number of sessions depends on the depth in which the pigment is lodged and it can go from 6 sessions or sometimes up to 20 sessions.
You will not only be able to perceive an attenuation of the spots but also an improvement in the overall quality of the skin and a rejuvenating effect.
This procedure is performed by dermatologists at the 3 centers.

Dark circles are a complex condition influenced by various anatomical factors. Below are the main factors that contribute to its appearance:
Fat bags on the lower eyelid.
Malar fat volume loss due to aging or genetic factors.
Lower eyelid lengthening, caused by aging or lack of volume in the malar region.
Groove or tear canal, produced by aging or constitutional predisposition.
Skin factors, related to the texture, color and wrinkles of the skin.
Most patients with dark circles have a lack of volume in the malar region. To effectively correct dark circles, it is essential to restore lost volume in this area.
Aesthetic Impact of Dark Circles
Dark circles make the face less attractive, giving an appearance of tiredness and sadness. They are often believed to be difficult to treat, but each case can be addressed with specialized and personalized treatment.
Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid
Fillers with hyaluronic acid, when applied correctly, offer an immediate improvement, not only in dark circles, but also in the aesthetics of the eyelid and cheekbone. This treatment attenuates eyelid bags and the tear canal, significantly improving facial appearance.
Study cases
Patient 1
This patient had bags in her lower eyelid, which were removed through a transconjunctival incision, a procedure that leaves no visible scars. To improve the appearance of the skin, a carbon dioxide laser was used to lighten and tighten the skin. Additionally, volume was added to the malar region with hyaluronic acid. All of this was done in less than 30 minutes under local anesthesia and sedation.
Process:
Removal of bags from the lower eyelid through transconjunctival incision.
In this case study, the same procedure that had previously been performed on another patient was performed on Patient 2. This treatment focuses on the correction of certain facial features to improve aesthetic appearance, focusing primarily on the vertical linea nigra that extends from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.
Preoperative and Postoperative Observations
PHOTO 2-A
Preoperative:
The vertical black line runs from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.
This line is long, which is considered unsightly because it gives the appearance of a long eyelid occupying the malar region.
Postoperative:
The black line is shorter.
The eyelid is shorter, which is a sign of beauty and youth.
PHOTO 2-B
Preoperative:
In the photo on the left, you can see the lack of projection of the cheekbone and a lower eyelid that extends and occupies the malar region.
Postoperative:
In the photo on the right, you can see a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
The patient acquired a natural beauty.
PHOTO 2-C
Preoperative:
An oval is drawn that extends from the eyebrows to the palpebromalar junction.
In the photo on the left, the oval is vertical, which is an unsightly sign.
Postoperative:
In the photo on the right, you can see a horizontal oval.
A natural projection of the cheekbone is observed, absence of bags in the lower eyelid and no visible scars.
There is a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
All of this represents natural beauty, youth and a fresh, rested expression.
Patient 3
This patient had dark circles under her eyes due to aging, with eyelid bags and wrinkles, as well as a lack of volume in the malar region. An advanced eyelid surgery technique was performed without visible scars, combined with carbon dioxide laser facial rejuvenation and malar volume augmentation.
Process:
Eyelid surgery without visible scars (Hoogstra technique).
Facial rejuvenation with carbon dioxide laser.
Increase and projection of the malar.
Result:
Elimination of bags and eyelid wrinkles.
Significant improvement in malar volume.
Rejuvenated appearance without visible scars.
This technique was published in the International Society of Plastic Surgeon in 2017, being internationally recognized as an advance in eyelid surgery.
Patient 4
PHOTO A
Clinical features:
Fatty bags in the lower eyelid.
Long lower eyelid.
Lack of projection and volume of the cheekbone.
Tear channel.
It does not present wrinkles or skin aging.
Patient Preferences:
You do not want to treat the lower eyelid bags at this time.
Treatment Performed
Procedure:
Application of two ampoules of hyaluronic acid, one on each cheekbone.
Immediate Results Observed:
Attenuation of the bags of the lower eyelid due to the increase in volume in the cheekbone, which reduces the protrusion of the bags.
Disappearance of the tear canal.
Significant improvement in the aesthetics of the cheekbone.
Shortening of the palpebromalar distance.
Professional Comments:
The treatment is considered almost magical because it is painless, fast, outpatient, with natural results and without adverse effects.
The result could be improved with one more ampoule of hyaluronic acid, but it is preferred to advance slowly and allow the patient to decide about increasing volume.
Avoid treating patients who desire excessive volume that may result in an unnatural appearance.
Duration and Additional Benefits:
The filling must be repeated every 20 months, although sometimes it lasts longer.
Hyaluronic acid not only provides volume, but also hydrates and stimulates collagen, which can reduce the amount needed over time.
Treatment Reversibility:
If the result is not satisfactory, hyaluronidase can be applied to degrade the material.
Until now, it has not been necessary to use this enzyme in patients treated at this center.
PHOTO B
Patient Presentation
Clinical features:
Depression that extends from the inner corner of the eye to the cheek, known as the tear groove or trough.
Triangular-shaped lower eyelid whose tip goes into the sulcus.
Long eyelid, “rained” and tucked into the cheek.
Lack of cheekbone projection, probably hereditary.
Aesthetic Effects:
Appearance of sadness, tiredness and old age due to the aforementioned factors.
PHOTO C
Procedure:
Application of a filler ampoule.
Immediate Results Observed:
Improved aesthetics of the cheekbone.
Disappearance of the tear canal.
Shortening of the eyelid; the palpebromalar junction is closer to the eye than the cheek.
Attenuation of lower eyelid bags.
Professional Comments:
Patients are fascinated by the speed, the immediate result, the naturalness, the absence of bruising and the indolence of the treatment.
Sometimes more than one or two syringes are needed to obtain the desired result. You start with a smaller amount and evaluate if more volume is necessary in a subsequent session.
Complementary Treatment:
Helios depigmentation laser: It attenuates skin color and treats blemishes, in addition to stimulating collagen and improving the appearance of the skin. A minimum of 6 sessions is recommended, one every 15 days or one per month. For more information on dark spot treatment, Click here.

[:in]One of the most effective, immediate and lasting results for the treatment of dark circles is the filling of the cheekbones and tear canal.
Dark circles removal solution
The Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra development this treatment after proving that many of the patients who had dark circles consulted by lack of volume cheekbone or between the cheekbone and nose, known as the tear channel area.
The lack of volume of the cheekbone and / or the tear canal allows the skin of the eyelids to extend to the cheeks, this increase in the length of the eyelid and its dark color increases the dark circles.
The time of completion of the procedure 5 minutes, painless, great patient satisfaction, which immediately continues its normal life.
Causes
According to the histopathological studies, this alteration of the coloration of the skin of the eyes is due in most cases to an excessive production of melanin and to the dilation of the capillaries near the surface of the skin.
These alterations usually follow the anatomy of the orbicularis muscle of the eyes surrounding the orbit. We receive many young patients who report a great aesthetic concern about the dark color of their eyes. The color of the eyelids and the anatomical characteristics of the orbit gives these patients an aspect of tiredness, sadness and old age, despite the fact that most of them are very young.
Triggers
Hereditary dark circles, family history: dark circles have a genetic predisposition.
Dark circles produced by repeated episodes of irritation.
Dark circles in patients with diseases such as hyperthyroidism, heart, kidney, etc.
Dark circles due to skin aging: excessive exposure to the sun increases the melanin of the eyelids.
Dark circles produced by light effect in patients with prominent malar bones.
Hormonal changes: they also influence the color of the skin of the eyelids, this is how dark circles are accentuated days before or during the menstrual period and during pregnancy.
Dark circles characteristics
The color of the dark circles can be brown, violet or black.
The brown and black color occurs mainly in patients with dark skin, while the violet color in patients with light skin.
Dark circles can be presented as a single entity in very young patients or associated with fine wrinkles, deep grooves or skin festoons. At the same time it can occur without excess of eyelid bags or with protrusion of them.
How to know which is the most appropriate treatment for you?
We have verified that the majority of patients suffering from dark circles have a lack of development of the malar bone, especially in its part closest to the nose. Until a while ago the correction of this anatomical situation was difficult given that we had to resort to surgery with prosthesis placement.
Melanin Deposit
Today, thanks to the development of heavy chain hyaluronic acids such as Voluma, we can provide a very fast, very effective and satisfactory solution for the patient. The cheekbone filling procedure with Voluma takes 5 minutes , is painless and the patient can immediately check the result. The interesting thing about this treatment is that it not only improves the color of the eyecup, it also improves the overall aesthetic appearance of the patient.
Other treatments that we perform to improve the dark color of dark circles are with the Helios II depigmenting laser. This is done monthly or biweekly, does not cause irritation of the treated skin and you can continue immediately with your activity. From the third session you can see an improvement in skin color, texture and tonism.
The Laser Helios is completely painless, has no adverse effects, lightens skin color and removes dark spots. For more information, we invite you to visit dark spots on the skin .
If you are looking for a quick and effective result, the recommended treatment is peeling with the Fire-Xel carbon dioxide laser.
The Carbon Dioxide Laser is used in patients who have dark circles and wrinkles. For more information on this procedure we invite you to visit Peeling with Carbon Dioxide Laser .
As we see in this histopathological study, the melanocytes responsible for the dark color of the eyelid skin are located in the dermal epidermal junction.
How does the Carbon Dioxide Laser work?
The Fire-Xel carbon dioxide laser in addition to having a skin analyzer allows us to choose the depth of the ablation. For young patients, without wrinkles and in which there is only dark pigmentation of the eyelid skin, we use a 600 micron piece that allows us to exfoliate to the basement membrane.
The most compact and strongest tone tissue below the basement membrane is the thermal collagenizing effect at the dermal level .
This biopsy clearly shows how ablation occurs only in the most superficial layer of the skin, more specifically at the basement membrane level. These patients will have a very fast recovery because the thermal effect is superficial and the result will be excellent and lasting.
For those patients who in addition to the dark color have excess skin of the eyelids, the laser must be used with the 300 micron piece with which we can reach the deep collagen and contract the skin. The tensor effect on the skin increases as the months go by and lasts for many years.
