Taking care of your feet is essential for the health of the body, but it is known that they do not always receive the attention they deserve. The pathologies that reach the feet generate great discomfort and should be treated at the first symptoms, by qualified professionals and with quality equipment.
The feet are responsible for the support of the body and receive several stimulations throughout the day. The impact on walking, the different structures and types of shoes, besides the moisture of the socks, generate dry feet, ingrown nails and difficult to treat fungi.
Podiatry experts indicate basic care to keep your feet healthy, such as drying them properly after bathing, avoiding tight shoes, wearing cotton socks and cutting your nails without removing the sides.
However, these precautions do not always eliminate the risks of complications and once the problem is established, it is necessary to use equipment such as Beauty Face (high frequency), Beauty Steam (ozone vapor) and Fluence (Laser and LED), which allow to treat the affections effectively and safely.
The high frequency produces an electric discharge that generates Ozone (O3) in the outside of the device glass electrode. This gas has bactericidal and fungicidal action, oxygenator, cauterizer and cellular renewal. Through high frequency, it is possible to treat onychomycosis (nail fungus), plantar warts (fish eye), interdigital tinea (chilblain) and dissidrosis.
Ozone steam, besides sanitizing and eliminating microorganisms, can aid in the nutrition, cleaning and hydration of the feet. It is also a great ally in the treatment of fissures, cracks or dryness.
Phototherapy, through the Red laser, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and healing action, besides maximizing the effect of specific medications for nail disorders treatment.
The Blue LED has fungicidal, bactericidal, moisturizing action and acts with effectiveness in the fight against microorganisms, besides allowing the permeation of actives.
Infrared laser, if applied to the lymph nodes, produces a lymphatic drainage that contributes greatly to feet and legs circulation.
HTM’s scientific consultant, Patricia Lopez, adds that “foot dysfunctions can be simply and effectively treated, so early diagnosis and care with Podiatry professionals are the key to a good recovery and foot health.”
