What is fungal laser treatment?

Do you have yellow, thick, brittle toenails that are embarrassing when exposed? If you answered yes, you may be showing signs of nail fungus. Nail fungus, otherwise known as onychomycosis, is a common fungal infection of the toenail that affects many people. A few common causes of onychomycosis are shoes and socks that don ‘t allow enough air flow, not completely drying feet after bathing, sharing communal facilities such as a fitness center, public showers and wearing nail polish for an extended period of time. Nail fungus can also be passed from person to person. There are several treatments for onychomycosis including oral medications, topical antifungals, surgical removal, and one of our newest treatments, Lunula laser treatment. Many of our patients prefer laser treatment for their fungal nails because there is no medication or anesthesia involved.

How does it work with plantar warts?

Similar to our fungal laser treatments, plantar warts will only take 5-10 minutes according to the severity of the condition and require just a topical ice pack to numb the area. The wavelength of light emitted by the laser is absorbed by the wart and converted into thermal energy thereby destroying the lesion. Our protocol is 3 treatments spaced one month apart. Most patients see resolution after two. For more information on this advanced treatment for plantar warts, please contact us.
