SHOW OFF YOUR TOES!



It’s almost that time of year, to switch from your wool socks to some flip flops… Summer is almost here! However for some 23 million Americans with toenail fungus, showing off their toes is a different story. 

Many people with nail fungus tend to ignore it in the winter, while their feet hide in boots. With warmer weather upon us and sandal season around the corner, a remedy for unsightly nail fungus in now available!

The Hyperblue diode laser offers states of the art laser treatment that is more effective than topical and oral treatments. The laser does not have any side effects and never interferes with medications that you may be taking.  The laser is used by a licensed podiatrist with extensive training treating nail fungus and other diseases of the nail.  The most important aspect of laser treatment for toenail fungus is the fact that the toenail and skin surrounding the toe are unharmed. There is no pain whatsoever and the toenail and skin are left undamaged after treatment.

The HyperBlue diode laser is one of the most sophisticated FDA-approved lasers on the market.  It eradicates the fungus with heat, a specific wavelength of the laser beam and shockwaves, which is done quickly and painless. Of course with anything there is always after care with any procedure that you have and the laser is no different. It is recommended that you use a topical treatment in conjunction with the laser to help prevent reoccurrence.  That includes at home treatment as well as a follow up appointment to make sure everything is doing well with the treatments. 

If you have any problems with your nails don’t hesistate to call your podiatrist for a consultation for the nail laser. And remember when your feet hurt, you hurt all over!
