UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING ONYCHOMYCOSIS ( DEEP FUNGAL TOENAIL INFECTION )
THE FUNGUS causing onychomycosis can be picked up anywhere you travel with bare feet and thrives in moist and wet environments. The fungus is deep in the nail matrix and nail bed making it difficult and in most cases impossible to treat with topical medications.
Once it invades the nail folds, it can easily spread from toenail to toenail leading to a deep chronic fungal toenail infection that contributes to cause the toenail to be come a yellow discoloration, thickened, brittle, and a odorous. The infection can also lead to chronic fungal skin infections and bacterial infections that require antibiotics.
Unlike older treatment options, such as topical solutions which require long treatment regimens and have low success rates, and oral medications that require blood tests and have possible dangerous side effects, laser therapy is a new and safe treatment option with several benefits.
OPTIONS OF TREATMENT TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE TOENAIL FUNGUS:
1. Topical Medications: 0% - 20%
2. Oral Anti-Fungal Medications: 20% - 65%
3. Laser Therapy: 70 - 87%
Unfortunately, there are NO available treatment options from topical, oral, or laser treatment that can 100% guarantee complete resolution of toenail fungus infections. All options have a certain amount of effectiveness depending on the degree of toenail infection and overall health of the patient.

EXPERIENCING THE LASER TREATMENT PROCEDURE
To thoroughly eradicate the toenail fungus, the nails and surrounding areas are exposed to the laser beam. The toenail area will feel warm during the procedure as it is repeatedly exposed to the laser, targeting the fungus deep inside the nail and the nail bed. Depending the number of toes, treatment sessions typically last 5 -10 minutes.
Patients who've received laser treatment describe feeling a hot pinch followed by a warm sensation that dissipates within seconds after the laser is removed from the toenail. There have been no reports of side effects or long-term pain associated with laser therapy for toenail fungus.A patient can receive treatment and return to their daily life without any special recovery considerations.
Oral anti-fungal medications treatment options are only available to the most healthy patients. Because there are no side effects with LASER therapy, the treatment is excellent for children, adolescents, and older patients.
