NAIL FUNGUS TREATMENT AND REMOVAL Q&A

How to identify Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus is very common. It develops when fungus spores get under the toenail and starts to multiply. Nail fungus comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes. It may infect just a single nail, multiple nails, and even the skin of the foot or hand.

Common symptoms of nail fungus:

  • Discolored nails (white, yellow, brown)
  • Nails that look chalky or cloudy
  • Nails that crack or break more easily
  • Separation of the nails from the nail bed
  • Thickened nails
  • The foul cheese-like smell coming from nails

Why is Toenail Fungus difficult to get rid of?

Getting rid of toenail fungus is hard due to the structure of nails. Nails are comprised of several layers of proteins. This makes it so that fungus can be not only live under the nails but also in the different layers of the nails.

Fungal spores may also spread into the nail matrix. Once the infection invades the matrix of the nails it reaches a point where it’s the most difficult to treat. This is because now the cells producing your nail are infected.

At Laser Nail Therapy, our doctors use the PinPointe FootLaser which safely and effectively is able to penetrate through all the layers of the nail to kill the fungus. This way after the fungus is dead, once the new nail grows out it will be clear, thin, and fungal-free.

How does Toenail Fungus Laser Treatment get rid of fungus?

PinPointe Footlaser uses light energy which is targeted onto the nail and kills fungus specifically. This process does not damage any surrounding tissue in the process. Additionally, this laser is an FDA-cleared treatment for fungal infections. It is also clinically proven to provide the best results compared to all other treatments for toenail fungus. Also, the treatment is painless, quick, and cost-effective.

At Laser Nail Therapy offices prior to performing the laser treatment, our doctors perform a thorough evaluation of each patient. This helps patients expect realistic results and know what will need to be done to prevent future infections.
