The Patient's Guide & Cynosure, Inc. Partner to Launch Nail Fungus Authority Website, Nail-Fungus.com

IRVINE, Calif., March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Patient's Guide, the leading online destination in skin care and beauty, has partnered with Cynosure, Inc., a leader in laser and light-based treatments for minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic applications, to launch an authority website for onychomycosis, a niche medical condition, www.Nail-Fungus.com. The website will educate visitors on the troublesome topic of nail fungus and its causes, symptoms, cutting-edge methods for treatment and prevention as well as a powerful tool enabling individuals to find a qualified doctor near them.

The Patient's Guide embraced this chronic condition affecting 36 million Americans and created an inviting community backed and supported by leading experts in the field.

"A fungal infection, or onychomycosis, is the most common type of nail disease affecting as many as 8 percent of all adults and 20 percent of adults over the age of 40," said Dr. Eric Bernstein, distinguished practitioner and innovator in the field of dermatology and laser surgery and co-founder of The Patient's Guide. "Because many consider nail fungus to be an embarrassing problem, this silent epidemic has snuck up on millions of Americans. Nail-Fungus.com is a powerful tool readily available to those searching for a cure."

Many infected individuals are not aware of the recent advances in medicine that can dramatically improve the quality of their everyday life. Like 30+ similar websites published by The Patient's Guide, visitors of Nail-Fungus.com not only have the opportunity to learn about nail fungus and its causes, signs and symptoms, risks and complications, prevention methods, real life stories, and possible treatment options written and supported by the leading doctors in the field, but they can also search an extensive list of qualified doctors providing the latest FDA-approved technology that can remove nail fungus using an in-office procedure which takes about 10 minutes per foot with the Pinpointe FootLaser.

Jasson Gilmore, The Patient's Guide's CEO and co-founder said, "This is an exciting announcement for our company based on its position within the field of podiatry. Since 2005 we have targeted our efforts to saturate the aesthetic skin care industry. We look forward to making an immediate impact within this complimentary and rapidly growing field of aesthetic foot care."
