Understanding Toenail Fungus (Onychomycosis/Tinea Unguium)
Toenail fungus is a prevalent infection starting under the nail that often spreads to other nails and surrounding skin.
Symptoms of Toenail Fungus:
- Discoloration: Initial chalky appearance changing to white, yellow, brown, reddish-brown, green, or black.
- Thickening: Nails may become distorted and hard to trim.
- Brittleness: Nails may crumble or break easily.
- Pain: Infected nails can cause swelling and pain if they lift off.
- Odor: A foul smell may be present.
Causes of Toenail Fungus:
- Cracks or cuts in the nail or skin
- Sweaty or constantly damp feet/hands
- Tight-fitting shoes or hosiery
- Poor foot hygiene
- Walking barefoot
- Heavy toenail polish
- Infected nail products
- History of illness reducing resistance to infection
Our Treatment: Effective Laser Therapy
While complete toenail removal with immediate replacement isn't possible, our next best solution is effective laser treatment. This therapy targets the genetic material of the fungus using a yellow pigment laser, proven in clinical trials to have up to a 90% success rate with multiple treatments, compared to approximately 50% for prescription therapies.
Benefits of Laser Nail Fungus Treatment:
- Safe and highly effective
- Quick treatments
- Minimal to no discomfort (some heat sensation is common)
- An excellent alternative to potentially harmful oral medications
What to Expect During and After Treatment:
- Minimum of 3 treatments recommended
- Treatments performed every 4-6 weeks
- All nails in the infected area are treated
- Fingernails take 3 to 6 months to regrow completely; toenails take 6 to 18 months
- Visible results typically happen within the first few months of treatment
Risk of Re-infection:
While laser treatment is highly effective, there is a risk of re-infection due to the ubiquitous presence of fungus in our environment. Proper foot hygiene is essential to prevent recurrence.
