Laser Nails Fungus Treatment
Toenail Fungus infections can be unsightly and embarrassing – the infected nail becomes yellow, thick and hard to cut. Although toenail fungus infections are also very common, they can be very difficult to treat. Until recently, the most common treatments for toenail fungus were taking pills that might cause liver toxicity or using topical medications that may have a low success rate. But several years of research and advancements in technology provided a safer solution: laser treatment (see also Keryflex section). This safe, quick and painless laser treatment has proven to be a very effective treatment for toenail fungus infection.
The laser light wave is at a frequency that is able to destroy the fungal microbes without hurting your healthy tissue. The laser light causes a temporary increase in clear nails and passes through the toenail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin.
At the time of the procedure, the toenail will not become instantly clear, it takes time to grow out. The fungal infection will only clear as fast as your nails grow out. Even though the laser may have killed the fungal cells the fungus will still cause the old nail to be thick and discolored. To get rid of the thick and discolored nails the new nail will have to grow in and the old affected nail will need to be trimmed off. Generally a fully affected nail will take 9 to 12 months to grow out completely. However, there will likely be improvement to the appearance of the nail earlier on depending on the severity of the infection.
