Laser Toenail For Fungus

If you are suffering from fungus on your toenails and feet, you should know help is available at West Coast Foot And Ankle Center. The use of laser energy to treat toenail fungal infections, referred to as onychomycosis, zeroes in on the fungus without compromising nearby nail tissue. The light of the laser moves through the nail as well as the soft tissue to destroy fungus and stimulate additional nail growth. The healthy nail starts growing out form the nail’s cuticle as a result of infrared radiation that isn’t painful in the slightest. The advantage of using a laser as opposed to oral medications is medications have side effects. Furthermore, topical medications take years to produce meaningful results.

The end result is the full eradication of the fungus after about three months of treatment. Such treatment sessions are usually 5 to 15 minutes in length. It might take upwards of a year for the emergence of the new nail to completely replace the infected nail. However, you will notice meaningful improvement after your first laser toenail treatment for fungus.
