A number of people turn to over the counter methods to cure fungus infected nails. They often become frustrated due to lack of results. Fungal nails are extremely difficult to treat and may require multiple treatments. Over the counter treatments are not the only treatment methods available to cure fungal nails. Other treatments include prescribed medication, laser for nail fungus treatment, and in extreme cases, surgery.
Over the counter treatments consist of topical creams and special lacquers. These products require regular and consistent application of product and may not entirely cure toenail fungus. In most cases, fungal infection returns quickly. Prescribed medications, such as terbinafine, are taken orally. Although these medications have a good success rate, they can cause serious side effects including liver damage and skin rashes. Surgical procedures should only be considered in the event that other treatment methods are not successful. Nail removal is only used in cases involving severe fungal infection or painful nails and also does not work all the time.
Laser for nail fungus treatment uses the newest technology to painlessly cure fungus infected nails. Laser treatment uses multiple pulse lasers to penetrate down to the nail bed and kill fungus at the source. Upon completion of each treatment session, a specially formulated topical ointment is applied to the nail. This procedure provides long term results and offers a high success rate of about 70%.

We use the most advanced Laser for nail fungus:The Cutera Genesis Laser is 80 Watts. This is 20 times more powerful than the first generation of FDA approved lasers for nail fungus. The Cutera Genesis 1064nm laser is a safe and effective option for treatment of nail fungus. The heat generated by the laser penetrates deep inside the nail where the fungus resides. It kills the fungus that causes nail disease (Dermatophytes). It is relatively painless. Most patients report feeling some heat and occasional discomfort. The heat does not damage the surrounding skin. The laser procedure is done in our office and takes 20-40 minutes depending on how many nails are effected. No anesthesia or pain killers are necessary and patients may return to normal activity and work immediately after the procedure with zero down-time. |
