About Greg Robinson Podiatrist
Laser Treatment
Fungal toenails (onychomycosis) are a persistent and embarrassing problem. Fungi, typically from the dermatophyte family are the cause of this infection. The infection becomes apparent through the development of nail discolouration, thickening, and crumbling toenails.
This type of infection will not resolve by itself, and an untreated infection will only worsen over time.
Though few people like to discuss the condition, it is very common.
Until recently, the treatment options for this stubborn infection of the toenails have been limited to topical and oral medications.
The rate of success with these treatments varies, and common prescription medications like Lamisil, Sporanox comes with potentially risky side effects.
In fact, taking this medication requires scheduled blood draws to monitor the health of the liver.
Over the years, many patients have asked if there is a better way to treat this condition, and now the answer is a resounding "Yes!"
Lasers are revolutionizing the treatment of fungal toenails.
Of course, it takes 8-12 months for the patient to see resolution once the new nail has time to grow.
What are the benefits of laser treatment for fungal nails?
Painful procedures are a thing of the past.
The NeoV Laser treatment is virtually painless, and there are no side effects.
Patients see results, because the laser goes through and beneath the toenail, and destroys the fungi where it lives, not only in the nail plate but also in the bed of the nail.
The focused light of the laser disrupts the protein of the microscopic fungi without damaging healthy tissue.
Creams and oral drugs cannot reach the infection at its source, which explains their limited effectiveness.
