Do You Have Fungus Toenails You Are Ashamed About
Do you have thick, discolored toenails? Are you embarrassed
to show your toenails in public? You could have toenail fungus.
What is toenail fungus? Toenail fungus is called
onychomycosis and is a fungus that grows on your nail, causing thick, yellowing
and discolored nails.
How do you treat toenail fungus? In the past, fungal
toenails have traditionally been treated with strong medications that can cause
liver damage or with topical liquids and creams that are time consuming to
apply and provide poor results. With new breakthrough laser therapy, however,
the outcomes far exceed any other treatment that is currently available and
without any of the dangerous side effects of medication.
What is laser treatment? With approximately an 80% success
rate, the laser treatments are virtually painless and are performed in the
office in minutes. The laser device utilizes safe light energy that passes
through the toenail destroying the fungus without damaging the surrounding
skin. The treatments will help patients grow new, clear and healthy toenails
over a three to nine month period. The laser treatment consists of
approximately three 10-minute laser procedures four weeks apart. Shoes and nail
polish can be worn immediately after treatment. Some patients may require
additional treatment sessions depending on the severity of their condition.
Some of the reported advantages include no pain, no anesthesia, short
treatment, no side effects, quick recovery and visible improvement in toenail
appearance.
