If you’re considering laser treatments, as a means to eliminate toenail fungus, there are several benefits of doing so. Countless individuals, who opt for these sessions, are very happy with the results. These are just a few reasons why this type of treatment is gaining in popularity.
Painless
Laser treatments are the perfect choice for those who have a low tolerance to pain. Most patients report light pressure or a slight warming sensation, during a session. You may hear a “snapping” sound as laser hits the nail bed, but there is no pain associated with it.
Drug-Free
If you’re concerned about possible side effects, such as liver or kidney damage, from prescription drugs used to treat toenail fungus, please consider laser treatment. Because no drugs are used, there is no chance of any damage.
No Recovery Period
There’s absolutely no recovery period, after laser treatment. Your toes won’t feel any different at all. However, it is necessary to be proactive, as far as doing things to make sure the toenail fungus doesn’t come back.
This includes things like:
- Keeping feet clean and dry
- Wearing the proper footwear
- Not going barefoot in public places
- Not sharing grooming tools
High Success Rate
Laser treatments for fungal nail infections are FDA approved. In a recent study of 100 random patients, 95% of them showed significant improvement. This number reflects a much higher percentage than the majority of over the counter remedies, which are used at home.
It should be noted that it takes approximately 3 to 6 months for the nail to fully re-grow into a clear, healthy, nail. Laser treatment doesn’t correct the condition overnight.
