Say Goodbye to Toenail Fungus with Laser Treatment

Toenail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, is a common condition that can cause your nails to become thick, discolored, and brittle.  If left untreated, it can cause discomfort and even pain.  At Laguna Woods Podiatry Group, we offer advanced laser treatment for toenail fungus, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional methods.

What Causes Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus is caused by a fungal infection that thrives in warm, moist environments.  Factors that can increase your risk include:

Wearing tight shoes
Excessive sweating
Walking barefoot in public areas (pools, gyms, showers)
Having a weakened immune system
Previous nail injury
Traditional Treatments vs. Laser Treatment

Traditional treatments for toenail fungus often involve oral medications or topical creams. These methods can have side effects and may take several months to show results. Laser treatment offers several advantages:

Targeted Treatment: The laser energy targets the fungus directly, without harming the surrounding nail or skin.
Quick and Convenient: Treatment sessions are typically short and require no downtime.
Improved Nail Appearance: Laser treatment can help improve the appearance of your nails, restoring their natural color and thickness.
Reduced Risk of Recurrence: Laser treatment can help reduce the likelihood of the fungal infection returning.
How Does Laser Treatment Work?

During the procedure, a focused laser beam is passed over the infected toenail. The laser's energy heats and destroys the fungus, allowing healthy nail tissue to grow back.

What to Expect

Most patients require multiple treatment sessions for optimal results.  You'll be able to return to your normal activities immediately following the procedure.
