Understanding Laser Nail Fungal Treatment

San Bernardino laser nail centers are now offering toenail fungus treatments to patients who are fed up with creams and ointments and want healthier nails without the inconvenience. The PinPointe Footlaser offers relief from toenail fungus without surgery, anesthetic, downtime or medication. Here’s how it works:

Thick, chipped and yellow toenails are caused by a fungal infection of the nail called onychomycosis. The infection is often deeply embedded within the nail, making it very difficult to reach with topical medicine. But these areas can be reached with the PinPointe Footlaser. The laser beam is specially designed to go through the nail and kill the fungus in the nail bed without affecting the surrounding tissue. Once the fungus dies, a new, healthy nail grows back in its place.

The procedure is quick, easy and painless. Begin by calling a laser nail center near you for a free phone consultation. If you are a good candidate for this procedure, you can schedule an appointment immediately.

Allot yourself about an hour for your laser nail fungal treatment appointment. You can come in during your lunch break or at your convenience—you don’t need to be accompanied or have someone drive you.

The doctor will perform the laser nail treatment procedure while you are seated comfortably in an upright position. You may feel a bit of heat as the laser works. Depending on the severity of the infection, the entire procedure takes about an hour.

Afterward, you can walk out of the office—no recovery time required. The effects of the laser nail treatment will be seen over the next few months, as a healthy new nail grows in behind the infected nail. You’ll continue to see improvements for 6 to 12 months, as your new nail grows to your desired length. In the meantime, there’s no need to apply any topical creams or bandages—simply exercise normal preventative measures to avoid being infected again, such as wearing breathable shoes, wearing flip flops in public showers or locker rooms and changing your socks frequently.
