It’s summer again! Wearing open-toe shoes or sandals – or just going barefoot – without feeling embarrassed about toenail fungus or discoloration is no longer an issue. Providing a natural and luminous appearance to nails, All-In-One Foot Care Center is the area’s leading nail restoration expert.
One of the most effective and safe treatments for toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is Class IV laser therapy! Through laser therapy, the nails are penetrated to kill the fungus. This treatment is painless and has no harmful side effects.
Lasers destroy the elements that make fungus grow and thrive when they “attack” the colony under the nail. New, healthy nails can then grow under the nail. Feel comfortable and embarrassed with nails that won’t give you a headache!
Patients can relax while undergoing laser therapy because it is a quick and easy procedure.
Onychomycosis: What is it?
Infections are caused by fungi. They can cause serious discomfort and embarrassment. Moreover, they are EXTREMELY COMMON, affecting millions of people every year.
Furthermore, fungi are easily spread. People with fungus may have contracted it from bathrooms, public restrooms, showers, and swimming pools shared clothes and shoes, or even carpets.
Some people believe that fungi are simply genetic. Having a high chance of recurrence will make treatment even more challenging.
Toenail fungus is one of the most common types of fungal foot infections. The condition is called onychomycosis.
Symptoms of onychomycosis include:
- Toenails that are yellow or discolored
- Brittle or thickened toenails
- The nail area has an unpleasant odor
- Painful
There is no doubt that onychomycosis can cause discomfort and embarrassment due to its unsightly appearance and symptoms.
Nearly 10% of the US population suffers from fungal nail infections.
The condition is often mistaken for nothing more than an eyesore, but fungal nails can also cause a number of other problems, such as:
- Other toenails infected
- Infecting family and friends
- Pain increased
- An ingrown toenail
Because of their compromised immune systems, diabetics are also more prone to fungal nail infections. Treatment with lasers offers a safe, effective alternative to many oral medications for fungal toenails.
