Laser treatment for toenail fungus is one of the many options to choose from when deciding on treatment. There are other options like topical solutions or oral medication that you can choose from. Topical solutions are not as effective because they do not penetrate through the nail to kill all the fungus underneath the nail. Also, with topical solutions, it takes a very long for you to see any results. Oral medication does have a better cure rate than topical solutions but it also has other risk factors. Our nail doctors do not prescribe these oral medications because they can lead to liver toxicity. You would have to constantly get your blood checked to ensure that the medication is no affecting your liver.
