Laser Fungal Nail Treatment
|
If you’ve been hiding your yellowed nails from the world for too long, it’s time to do something about it! In potentially as few as four laser sessions, you can say goodbye to nail fungal (onychomychosis) infection for good. No harmful pills or ointments required.
Onychomycosis or fungal nail is a common problem that many people have, but there is a certain stigma attached to it. Contrary to common perceptions, having a fungal nail infection has nothing to do with a person’s personal hygiene. Whether you are a pro - footballer or a sedentary book reader, anyone can get it. All it takes is for a person to stub their toe, raise the nail off of the nail bed a tiny bit, and they have now provided a place for fungus to form. Psoriatic Nail Disease or nail psoriasis is another common nail affliction, especially with those suffering from psoriatic arthritis. Nail psoriasis and fungal nail share many of the same symptoms, can manifest at the same time, and are often misdiagnosed for one another. While laser has not been used for as long to treat nail psoriasis as fungal nail, results to date have shown to be promising. |
Our lasers have been proven effective against fungal nail and pose far less of a threat to your overall health than taking medications, such as Lamisil or terbinafine, which have had recorded cases of severe liver damage resulting in need of a transplant or death. If you are currently taking an anti-fungal medication and would like to go with light based therapy instead, ask your GP what is the safest way to discontinue the medicine’s use.
Feel free to consult with your GP or chiropodist to confirm that you have a fungal nail infection or psoriatic nail disease, prior to making an appointment with us. In fact, in cases of particularly bad fungal nail infections where the nails have grown very thick and hoary, a chiropodist with have to cut and file the nails down for an effective laser treatment to be provided.
So, what are you waiting for? Your nails are obviously bothering you! Call us today to set up a consultation.
