People will go out of their way to hide their toenail fungus, an often times embarrassing and painful condition of the nails. Fortunately, toenail fungus is easy to prevent and detect, but you have to act fast. Once the fungus gets under a toenail, it is often difficult to treat. Topical solutions won't always work and oral medications can carry a risk of side effects that can be hard on your body. Do you have embarrassing, irritating or painful toenail fungus? With the latest in technology, you can reclaim your toenail and eliminate uncomfortable toenail fungus without the use of anesthetics or oral medications. Through the use of a new, advanced foot laser treatment, your ailments can quickly and effectively be eliminated. How Does Foot Laser Treatment Work? Foot laser treatment administered by a professional podiatrist is specially designed to penetrate through your toenail and eliminate the fungal spores in your nail bed that are causing your infection. Your toenail will not become instantly clear and it may take a couple of months for the nail to grow out and take the fungus with it, but it is the beginning to healthy, fungus free feet. With no effect on your healthy tissue, foot laser treatment is not painful or harmful. There is minimal discomfort experienced during the procedure with no painful after effects. After your initial treatment, your nail plate should grow out normally within 6 to 12 months if there is a healthy nail bed. Treating your nail fungus with foot laser treatment is safe and does not require anesthesia. Avoid Irritating Toenail Fungus with Foot Laser Treatment A toenail infection, or onychomycosis, is one of the most common infections of the foot. Toenail fungus is often characterized by the thickening of your toenail plate, debris under the toenail, a lifting of the leading edge of the nail, and a change in nail color. When it comes to protecting your feet and nails from harmful infections, prevention is key. The following tips are important to consider when avoiding toenail fungus: • Practice good hygiene
• Inspect feet and toes regularly
• Avoid injuring your nail by cutting it too short
• Wear dry, proper-fitting shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet
• Wear shower sandals when you are at a public pool or shower If left untreated, a fungal infection can spread to your other toenails, the skin on your feet and even to your fingernails. In severe cases, your infection may even impair your ability to walk or it may potentially lead to painful ingrown toenails, reminding you to always seek care from your podiatrist when you notice any sign of an infection. With proper consultation, your Caramel podiatrist can educate you about the available treatments for your toenail fungus. Foot laser treatment is a painless and safe treatment for your toenail fungus. Take a step in the right direction and visit your podiatrist today to eliminate your irritating toenail infection.
