When you’re dealing with toenail fungus, it can be incredibly embarrassing. Often, people may just leave the infection alone thinking it will go away and you run the risk of the fungal infection spreading to other toes. Instead of ignoring your toenail fungus, there are options that can help treat this issue quickly. Dr. Tony Avakian at Valencia Foot and Ankle Center in Valencia, CA, can explain how using a laser for nail fungus can get rid of your fungus quick, easy, painless and help you feel comfortable with your feet again.
Targeting Toenail Fungus
This procedure is painless and is a non-invasive way to target toenail fungus and help attack it through the nail. The procedure consists on placing your foot into the laser port for 12 minutes where a spectrum of UV light penetrates your toes to eradicate the fungus living in your body.
This laser will destroy the toenail fungus infection and help improve nail growth in the future. This treatment doesn’t have any side effects and you’ll be able to return to your normal life immediately after treatment is done. There is no downtime and no pain associated with the treatment.
Treatment time will vary depending on the severity of your fungal infection, but you can probably expect around 4 treatments that last around 12 minutes each foot. It’s important that after the fungus is removed, you take steps to continue preventing it from happening again in the future.
