Treatment Options

One of the most common treatment options is topical solutions. They have a cure of about five to ten percent. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through to the nail bed. All the fungus must die in order to be cured. It is the least effective treatment option.

Another treatment option is an oral medication. This has a cure rate of about sixty percent. Although it is higher, it can lead to liver toxicity. This is why our nail doctors do not recommend this treatment option. You would need constant blood tests. It can be tedious. This is not the best treatment option.

Toenail fungus treatments in Seattle can vary. If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which 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.
