Treatment for Nail Fungus in Houston

Laser treatment for nail fungus in Houston, TX is a possible treatment option. The PinPointe FootLaser is used to kill the fungus that lives in and under the nail. The laser passes through the nail without causing damage to the same or the surrounding skin. When you get a procedure, all the fungus should be killed but you will not see your nail become instantly clear – because the nail is already damaged. You will see the result as the new nail grows out. The use of the PinPointe laser for the treatment of nail fungus was approved by FDA in 2010.

Oral medication vs. Laser treatment

According to the study submitted to the FDA, laser treatment has a higher cure rate than Lamisil. Also, while oral medication requires blood testing and has interactions with other medications in addition to the risk of liver toxicity and allergic reaction, you need to worry about none of them with the laser treatment.

Is the laser treatment painful?

People mostly feel no pain while some people feel a warming sensation and prickly feeling.

How long is the procedure?

The Pinpointe Footlaser procedure normally takes less than 30 minutes. There is also no recovery period and you can even apply nail polish immediately after the procedure.

Who developed this laser?

Scientists and medical professionals who work together for over 20 years and with funding from the National Institutes of Health developed the Pinpointe FootLaser.

Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus in Houston

As you can see, tips for healthy feet without nail fungus can be easy to find. Furthermore, if you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser. It typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed.  This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication.
