Treatment Of Toenail Fungus With Lasers

---

---

As the name suggests, onychomycosis is a fungus that affects the toenails. Because topical antifungals do not penetrate the nail, they are not very effective, while oral antifungals can have potentially harmful side effects. In addition to laser therapy, there are other treatment options available. Toenail fungus is killed with a concentrated beam of light aimed at the toenails. There are minimal side effects associated with laser treatment, making it a safe and effective procedure. It is also possible to combine the laser treatment with other treatments to achieve even better results.

The nails look different when they have toenail fungus. Fungus infection can cause thickening, brittleness, crumbling, and discoloration of the toenails. As the infection worsens, the toenails can become misshapen. A foul odor may emanate from them when they separate from the nailbed. The condition is not only unsightly but also painful. As you walk, you may experience discomfort from the raised toenails rubbing against your shoes. When a fungal infection spreads to the skin of the feet or from person to person, people with diabetes or compromised immune systems may suffer serious consequences. Your mental health can also be affected by toenail fungus, causing you to constantly wear closed-toe shoes to hide your toenails.

An effective treatment for fungal toenail infections is the application of topical solutions directly onto the nail, taking oral antifungal medications, or using lasers. There is a long period of time before topical and oral antifungals are effective. As topical medications cannot penetrate the nail, they tend to be less effective, while oral antifungals can cause unwanted side effects. There are some advantages to laser treatment, such as speed, safety, and effectiveness. Other treatments can also be used safely with it.
