Toenail Fungus Laser Therapy
Onychomycoses, more commonly known as nail fungus, is a condition in which the nail or skin beneath the nail becomes infected. Walking barefoot around a public pool or shower can increase the risk of developing a fungal infection on the toenails. If you suffer from toenail fungus it can have a detrimental effect not only on your self-image but on your health as well. If left untreated, the affected nail can become thicker and more difficult to trim which can cause discomfort and make it more difficult to walk.
When fungus gets under the toenail, patients can develop discolored, brittle toenails. Left untreated, the fungus can spread to other toes. Over time, a patient may even find it difficult to walk. This condition spreads easily, so it’s important to address the problem fast.
If you've tried unsuccessfully to tackle your stubborn, unsightly fungal toenails with topical creams and ointments or with oral medications, consider laser treatment.
