Should you want to Hide your toes this Summer?


Should you want to Hide your toes this Summer?

 

 

Breaking out the sandals or flip flops lets us know Summer is here.  But if your toes are not what you want to show off, then it is time for the Podiatrist to evaluate your nails.

You have the right to try to eradicate the yellow and thick nails on your feet.

There are multiple treatments for fungus nails from topical, oral medication, conventional surgery and Laser surgery.  In addition, we have you use a topical to enhance the success rate.  We follow the protocols set up in the studies done over years.  There is no fast cure, but a steady clearing of your nails over time.  Nail only grows at approximately 2 mm per day on your feet.  This is slow.  Plus if you go through the treatment, then you have to do a form of maintenance to prevent reoccurrence.  Even oral Lamisil has a 35% reoccurrence after 3 months off medication and includes blood tests to protect your Liver.

In conclusion, Laser surgery for fungus nails is a proven result, painless treatment, without anesthesia and a quick and safe recovery.
