Toenail fungal infections are extremely common among Americans, especially older adults and individuals who are physically active or frequently participate in water-related activities. At Laser Nail Therapy, we specialize in advanced toenail fungus laser treatment in New Jersey, offering patients a safer and more effective alternative to traditional treatments.

Many patients come to us after months, or even years, of trying treatments that failed to deliver results. Our goal is to provide a modern solution that targets the infection at its source and restores healthier, clearer nails without harmful side effects.

Until recently, toenail fungus treatments were often ineffective or risky. Topical medications are commonly used but require months of daily application and have a cure rate of less than 5% because they cannot penetrate the nail bed deeply enough.

Oral antifungal medications are more effective but come with serious potential side effects, including liver toxicity and liver failure. Patients taking oral medication must undergo frequent blood tests to monitor liver health. Because of these risks, many patients prefer to avoid oral treatments altogether.

Laser Nail Therapy offers a safer option using state-of-the-art laser technology, eliminating the need to choose between ineffective topicals or harmful medications.

A typical toenail fungus infection often begins with discoloration beneath the nail, ranging from yellow to brown or black. As the infection progresses, nails may become thick, brittle, and difficult to trim. In some cases, a foul, cheese-like odor can develop.

If left untreated, fungal spores can spread beyond the nail to the surrounding skin and between the toes. This can lead to athlete’s foot, another fungal infection caused by the same organisms. While anyone can develop toenail fungus, the elderly and those with frequent moisture exposure are more susceptible.

Preventing toenail fungus is essential, especially after treatment, to avoid recurrence. Simple daily habits can greatly reduce your risk:

• Always wear shoes in wet public areas such as pools and locker rooms

• Properly disinfect nail tools used for pedicures

• Ensure nail salons sterilize all tools

• Wear shoes that fit properly and are not too tight

• Choose moisture-wicking synthetic socks to keep feet dry

Following these steps consistently helps protect nail health and reduces the chance of reinfection.

If you have developed toenail fungus, FDA-approved PinPointe laser treatment offers a highly effective solution. In most cases, only one treatment is needed. The laser penetrates the nail and destroys fungal organisms without harming healthy tissue.

Our toenail fungus specialists in New Jersey strongly recommend this treatment because it has the highest cure rate on the market, causes no pain, and requires no recovery time. Patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

Unlike oral medications, laser treatment has no side effects and does not require blood testing.
