laser-treatment-onychomycosis

What is onychomycosis?

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.

In Urinary incontinence, OTHER TREATMENTS

Urinary incontinence

La incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (IUE) es un problema que afecta a una gran cantidad de mujeres de todas las edades, impactando significativamente en diversos aspectos de su vida diaria. Esta afección se caracteriza por la pérdida involuntaria de orina al realizar actividades que aumentan la presión abdominal, como toser, estornudar, reír o realizar ejercicio físico.

¿Qué es la Incontinencia Urinaria de Esfuerzo?

La incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo se manifiesta clínicamente como un escape repentino de orina ante un esfuerzo físico o cualquier acción que incremente la presión sobre la vejiga. Esta condición es más frecuente en mujeres que han tenido partos vaginales, debido a que el proceso del parto puede debilitar los músculos del suelo pélvico, los cuales son fundamentales para el control de la continencia urinaria. Los músculos del suelo pélvico sostienen la vejiga y la uretra; cuando estos músculos se debilitan, la orina puede escaparse de la vejiga a través de la uretra con una mínima presión sobre la vejiga.

Causas de la Incontinencia Urinaria de Esfuerzo

Entre las principales causas de la IUE se encuentran:

  • Partos vaginales: Los partos vaginales pueden causar un estiramiento o debilitamiento de los músculos del suelo pélvico.
  • Edad: A medida que las mujeres envejecen, los tejidos del suelo pélvico pueden debilitarse.
  • Cirugías ginecológicas: Procedimientos como la histerectomía pueden afectar la musculatura del suelo pélvico.
  • Obesity: El exceso de peso ejerce una mayor presión sobre la vejiga y los músculos pélvicos.
  • Tabaquismo: La tos crónica asociada al tabaquismo puede contribuir al debilitamiento de los músculos pélvicos.

Impacto en la Calidad de Vida

La IUE afecta significativamente la calidad de vida de las mujeres, limitando sus actividades diarias y generando sentimientos de vergüenza y frustración. Las mujeres con incontinencia urinaria pueden evitar situaciones sociales y actividades físicas, lo cual puede conducir a un aislamiento social y afectar su bienestar emocional.

Tratamientos Tradicionales

Tradicionalmente, los tratamientos para la IUE incluyen ejercicios del suelo pélvico (ejercicios de Kegel), terapia física, medicamentos y, en casos más severos, cirugía. Sin embargo, estos tratamientos pueden ser invasivos, dolorosos y no siempre efectivos a largo plazo.

Tratamiento Innovador: Láser de Dióxido de Carbono (CO2)

El tratamiento con láser de dióxido de carbono (CO2) surge como una alternativa innovadora y no invasiva para la IUE. Este procedimiento utiliza un láser especializado para tensar las paredes pelvianas, mejorando la continencia urinaria y ofreciendo múltiples beneficios adicionales.

¿Cómo Funciona el Láser de CO2?

El láser de CO2 emite energía que provoca una contracción y regeneración de los tejidos del suelo pélvico y del área genital. Este proceso de rejuvenecimiento aumenta la elasticidad y firmeza de los tejidos, mejorando así el soporte de la vejiga y la uretra. Además, el tratamiento estimula la producción de colágeno y elastina, componentes esenciales para la salud y funcionalidad de los tejidos vaginales.

Beneficios del Tratamiento con Láser de CO2

  • Efectividad: Mejora significativa de la incontinencia urinaria por esfuerzo.
  • Rejuvenecimiento genital: Mejora la elasticidad y secreción vaginal, lo que puede aumentar la satisfacción sexual y reducir la dispareunia (dolor durante las relaciones sexuales).
  • Procedimiento rápido: La sesión de tratamiento suele durar menos de 30 minutos.
  • Indoloro: El tratamiento es prácticamente indoloro y no requiere anestesia.
  • Sin tiempo de inactividad: Las pacientes pueden reanudar sus actividades normales inmediatamente después del procedimiento.
  • Sin efectos adversos: El riesgo de complicaciones es mínimo.

Procedimiento del Tratamiento

El tratamiento con láser de CO2 se realiza en varias etapas:

  1. Initial consultation: Es imprescindible una consulta previa con un ginecólogo para realizar un control ginecológico completo y un estudio de papanicolaou, asegurando que no existan contraindicaciones para el procedimiento.
  2. Sesión de tratamiento: La paciente se somete a una sesión donde se aplica el láser de CO2 en el área vaginal y del suelo pélvico.
  3. Recomendaciones post-tratamiento: Se proporcionan indicaciones sobre cuidados post-tratamiento, aunque generalmente no se requiere tiempo de recuperación.

Cost of Laser Urinary Incontinence Treatment

Puede realizar la consulta y el mismo día el tratamiento. Al costo del tratamiento se le descontará la consulta. Cada sesión tiene un costo de 100 dólares.

It is recommended to perform 3 sessions, with an interval of 30 days between one and the other.

More information about Laser Urinary Incontinence Treatment:

Novel Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatment:

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra has carried out treatments with Carbon Dioxide Laser since 1995, he was one of the pioneers in the use of this technology for Facial Rejuvenation and to treat a large number of skin diseases.

For some years now, he has been using a special type of carbon dioxide laser to treat patients suffering from dyspareunia, patients with urinary incontinence and patients with sexual dissatisfaction due to dilation of the vaginal canal.

The light energy of the laser produces a stimulation of the collagen. Neocholagenogenesis increases the tone of the perineum, the vaginal canal and rejuvenates the vaginal mucosa.

This treatment is well tolerated, outpatient and the results are satisfactory.
It is recommended to carry out three sessions with 30-day intervals between one and the other.

The end result is a rejuvenation of the vaginal mucosa, a tightening effect on the vagina and perineum.

After treatment, patients report disappearance or attenuation of incontinence, improvement or disappearance of dyspareunia and greater satisfaction with sexual intercourse.

Once the 3 sessions are over, we recommend doing a reinforcement session the following year. The results obtained last for years.

As a conclusion we can say that this is a painless, effective, outpatient treatment and with which until now we have not verified undesired effects.

In Female genitals

Female Genital Rejuvenation with Rich Plasma

Descubre el innovador tratamiento con Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) para revitalizar tanto la zona interna como la externa del área genital. Esta técnica mínimamente invasiva utiliza los propios elementos regenerativos de tu sangre para devolver vitalidad, suavidad y juventud a los tejidos, promoviendo tanto la salud estética como funcional.

¿Qué es el PRP y cómo funciona?

El PRP se obtiene de una pequeña muestra de tu propia sangre, la cual se centrifuga para concentrar las plaquetas. Estas células contienen poderosos growth factors que, al ser inyectados en las áreas deseadas, estimulan:

  • La producción de fibroblastos: responsables de la síntesis de colágeno, elastina y ácido hialurónico.
  • La angiogénesis: formación de nuevos vasos sanguíneos que mejora la nutrición y oxigenación de los tejidos.
  • La mitogénesis: regeneración celular que repara y renueva la piel y las mucosas.

Esta acción integral no solo repara el daño celular, sino que también mejora la textura, el tono, la firmeza y la hidratación tanto de la piel como de las mucosas.

Beneficios del Tratamiento

  • Rejuvenecimiento Natural: Aumenta la producción de colágeno y elastina, devolviendo juventud y firmeza a la zona.
  • Mejora de la Lubricación: Estimula la secreción de ácido hialurónico, lo que reduce la sequedad y mejora la lubricación vaginal.
  • Resultados Funcionales y Estéticos: Reduce la atrofia y la flaccidez, mejora la textura y el tono de la piel, y promueve una mayor sensibilidad y placer durante el acto sexual.
  • Procedimiento Seguro y Rápido: Al utilizar tu propio plasma, se minimizan los riesgos de reacciones adversas. La aplicación es prácticamente indolora y el tiempo de recuperación es inmediato.
  • Adaptabilidad: Puede utilizarse de forma aislada o en combinación con otras terapias, como tratamientos con láser o la aplicación de ácido hialurónico, para potenciar y prolongar sus efectos.

Proceso del Tratamiento

  1. Extracción y Procesamiento: Se extrae una pequeña cantidad de sangre, que se procesa en una centrifugadora para concentrar las plaquetas.
  2. Aplicación Dirigida: El concentrado de PRP se inyecta en la zona interna (vaginal) y externa (labios y áreas circundantes) de la región genital. En algunos casos, se añade láser para potenciar el efecto rejuvenecedor.
  3. Recuperación y Resultados:
    • Sin Láser: La recuperación es inmediata y la mayoría de las pacientes pueden retomar sus actividades e incluso mantener relaciones sexuales al día siguiente.
    • Con Láser: Se recomienda una abstinencia sexual de 7 días para optimizar los resultados.

La frecuencia recomendada es de una sesión mensual, con un máximo de tres sesiones al año, permitiendo que los efectos se consoliden de forma natural y progresiva.

Experiencia y Respaldo Internacional

Desde 2009, cuando el Dr. Charles Runels introdujo el uso del PRP en el rejuvenecimiento del clítoris y el techo vaginal—áreas vinculadas al conocido punto G—este tratamiento ha ganado popularidad en Estados Unidos y Europa. Los testimonios de sus pacientes reflejan una mayor excitación, orgasmos más intensos y una piel más joven y suave en la región íntima.

In Hoogstra Medical Centers, hemos perfeccionado esta técnica, adaptándola a las necesidades individuales de cada paciente. Nuestro protocolo se centra en mejorar tanto la apariencia estética como la funcionalidad de la zona genital, contribuyendo a una experiencia sexual más satisfactoria y a un bienestar integral.

In Reconstructive cosmetic surgeries, Nose

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

A non-surgical rhinoplasty does not structurally modify the nose, making it better for minor changes. The ideal candidate will seek to improve small imperfections, a slight asymmetry or an excessively trimmed nose. It can also be a good way to try on a new look before undergoing a conventional rhinoplasty.

Nonsurgical remodeling of the nose is a new safe alternative and available for patients interested in improving the shape of their nose without undergoing invasive surgery.

What are the benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty?

The advantages of nose reshaping without surgery are:

  • Faster results
  • Less healing time
  • Little or no pain

The non-surgical rhinomodeling It is a novel technique to model the nose through an outpatient procedure performed in the office with Local anesthesia, achieving excellent natural results, improving the patient's physiognomy without changing his personality, being able to continue with his daily activity the next day.

The first step to perform this procedure is to have a consultation with the Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra, since the most important thing is to make a correct evaluation. Not all patients are candidates for this type of procedure.

What does the treatment consist of?

With non-surgical rhinoplasty we can model the wing cartilage, reduce the large nasal tips, project the nasal tip with tension threads and / or improve the contour with fillers such as cross-linked hyaluronic acids. It is also possible to improve the nose-lip ratio, working on the projection and the nasolabial angle.

With this technique we not only improve the aesthetics of the nose but also that of the lip. As the human being ages and the nasal tip falls off, this technique allows us to lift it and improve the aesthetic relationship with the Lip. The same happens in very young patients who have practically no lip because the nasal length takes away the beauty that the mouth could have.

With this technique it is possible to:

  • Raise the nasal tip in young patients and in those in whom it has decreased over the years.
  • Correct unsightly deformations in patients who have undergone surgical rhinoplasties and who are not satisfied with the result.
  • Give volume to the back.
  • Project the tip of the nose.
  • Improve the angle between the lip and the nose.

With this technique it is not possible to:

  • Narrow bones of the nose, correct a wide nose.
  • Improve respiratory insufficiencies.
  • Take out a very prominent back.

In Forehead and eyebrows

Invisible lifting of the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids

Endoscopic video lifting of the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids.

The lowering of the eyebrows together with the frontal wrinkles, the eyebrows and crow's feet give the face the aspect of anger, sadness and old age. Invisible Lifting is a minimally invasive procedure whose purpose is to raise the eyebrows, remove excess skin from the upper eyelids and sometimes lift the nasal tip.

The Invisible Lifting rejuvenates the look and gives the face a more rested, happy and youthful expression. This procedure is done through a minimal hidden incision in the scalp.

Candidates for this procedure are women and men who have decreased eyebrows and excess skin on the upper eyelids. These patients generally have an expression of tiredness, sadness or anger in their eyes and the majority express that this expression does not coincide with their real state of mind.

Treatment

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra has developed a new procedure, the “Pivoting Brow Lift” or “Pivoting Eyebrow Lift”, which avoids the scars associated with conventional resective and endoscopic surgeries.

Procedure description

The Pivoting Forehead and Eyebrow Lift repositions the eyebrows, clears the look and reduces expression wrinkles, providing significant aesthetic and functional results.

Benefits for Patients

Many patients come to the procedure due to visual difficulties, accompanied by headaches and neck pain, symptoms that Dr. Hoogstra's technique helps to alleviate.

Process and Recovery

The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and sedation, lasting approximately 30 minutes. After the intervention, patients generally remain in the clinic for about 4 hours, where they are cared for by specialized staff before leaving. During this time, your post-operative condition is monitored and the necessary care is provided to ensure proper recovery before returning home.

Follow-up and Recovery Time

The first checkup is scheduled 7 days after the procedure, at which time the patient's progress is evaluated and additional guidance is provided as needed. Additionally, patients have constant access to medical equipment throughout the recovery process, providing peace of mind and ongoing support.

In terms of recovery time, most patients can expect to return to normal activities within 3 to 7 days after the procedure. It is important to note that this period may vary slightly depending on the individual characteristics of each patient and the extent of the procedure performed. However, in general, recovery is expected to be rapid and with minimal bruising, allowing patients to return to their daily routine promptly and comfortably.

Logistics for Foreign Patients

Foreign patients must be in Buenos Aires the day before surgery, with operating days generally scheduled on Wednesdays at 6:30 AM. The length of stay in Buenos Aires is usually approximately 10 days, although some can return to their places of origin even 48 hours after the procedure.

Dr. Hoogstra's Experience and Credentials

Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra has vast experience in this procedure, having trained at renowned institutions such as the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, USA, and collaborating with doctors at Harvard University in the use of the carbon dioxide laser.
