A large number of people who suffer from onychomycosis, the medical term for nail fungus, are seeking alternative treatments to cure toenail fungus. Many are frustrated with the lack of results from using over the counter treatments. The risk of potentially serious side effects, severe skin rashes, and liver damage, often deters people from using prescribed oral medications. In order to achieve long term results, a growing number of people are turning to laser treatments. A number of medical offices are offering laser treatments to cure nail fungus in New York City.

Ethical Doctors Providing Effective Treatment for Nail Fungus

Symptoms of a fungal nail infection include thickened, crumbling, or discolored nails. Other conditions, such as diabetes and nail separation, exhibit similar symptoms to fungal nails. Determining whether or not a patient suffers from toenail fungus is extremely important to the success of laser treatment.

If it’s not fungus, laser treatment will not work. The doctors at Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment NYC are extremely ethical and will not take your money if something else is causing nail irregularity and will not ‘sell’ you laser treatment.

Medical practices using lasers to cure nail fungus in New York City should perform a nail biopsy during the initial consultation if there is any question whether the problem is nail fungus or not. These practices, staffed by a team of ethical doctors, use biopsies to determine whether the problem is due to toenail fungus or some other underlying issue. If the biopsy indicates an underlying problem, not related to fungal nails, the doctors will not perform laser treatment. Instead they will work with the patient to determine the most effective treatment. If biopsy results indicate fungal infection, laser treatment can begin immediately.
