Laser Toenail Treatment for Fast and Effective Nail Fungus Relief

Fungal nails may be difficult to get rid of, but they don't have to be permanent. Keep reading to learn how to prevent fungal nails, and find out about new laser technology- PinPointe FootLaser- for quick, safe and effective nail fungus removal.

Toenail fungus is anything but pleasant, and an all too common complaint experienced by patients. Characterized by thick, discolored nails, fungal nails can be embarrassing, unsightly and uncomfortable. On the other hand, some patients can go months without taking action because they experience little or no pain at all.

Treatment for fungal nails may vary, depending on the severity of the infection. And even the best over-the-counter treatments won't always prevent a fungal infection from reoccurring. Your Chicago podiatrist can detect toenail fungus easily and help determine the most appropriate treatment. Mild cases of toenail fungus can be treated with topical or oral medications, while severe cases may require partial or complete removal of the infected nail. Luckily, a new breakthrough in technology is now making it possible to get rid of your nail fungus in as little time as a lunch break- a new procedure known as PinPointe FootLaser.

Laser Toenail Treatment for Fast and Effective Nail Fungus Relief

Perhaps one of the most effective ways to say goodbye to your unsightly toenail fungus is with new PinPointe FootLaser, an FDA-cleared, UVA patented infrared laser that heals nail fungus safely, quickly and painlessly. The new laser technology is specially designed to shine through your toenail, vaporizing the fungus embedded deep in your nail bed. Better yet, the powerful laser beam has no effect on healthy tissue, targeting the infection only.

In under an hour your Chicago podiatrist can treat your nail fungus, and within 12 months of the treatment, the toenail will replace itself with a healthy, fungus free nail.

Avoiding Irritating Toenail Fungus

The best way to keep your toenails fungus free is to prevent the fungus from developing or reoccurring. Practice healthy foot hygiene by sticking to these simple steps:

Practice good hygiene and inspect feet and toes regularly
Don't share shoes or socks
Disinfect nail tools and instruments, such as clippers
Try not to injure your nail by cutting it too short, as trauma to the nail may lead to infection
Wear moisture wicking socks
Wear dry, proper-fitting shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet, as tight, enclosed, moist shoes contribute to fungal toenail infections
Wear shower sandals when you are at a public pool or shower

Let's face it. Unsightly toenail fungus can be embarrassing, especially when it prevents you from wearing your favorite pair of sandals. With the summer months quickly approaching, now is the time to get rid of your fungal nails once and for all. Visit your Chicago podiatrist and find out if new PinPointe FootLaser is a good option for helping you achieve your most beautiful, healthy feet yet.
