Toe and Finger Nail Fungus Removal from Amore Laser
Onyhomycosis, better known as “toe nail fungus” is a very common and persistent bacterial problem that plagues nearly 35 million people, which is about 12% of Americans according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
Toe nail fungus is a fungal and bacteria based infection in one or more of your nails. A nail fungus infection may simply begin as a small yellow or white spot underneath the tip of your fingernail or toe nail. As the fungal infection spreads deeper into your nail, however, it may cause your nail to discolor, become ingrown, thicken unnaturally and develop crumbling, weak edges. All of these developments can be unsightly and potentially painful problems.
Recurrent fungal infections in your nails are quite common, especially if you continue to expose your hands or feet to warm, moist conditions without proper cleaning, clipping and care.
Nail Fungus Laser Treatment
At Amore Laser of Austin, we use an alternate treatment which is approved by the FDA. Our neodymium yag laser offers our clients a virtually painless procedure with no down time of long recovery period. The process is a great alternative to long-term medications or long-term nail growth.
Our FDA approved laser is safe for all skin types and uses 1064nm wavelength to complete the process. This safe and effective treatment normally takes about 10 minutes to complete. Depending on the severity of the infection, our laser can generally get rid of the fungus in one treatment. Our lasers penetrate the complete nail, eliminating the destructive fungus that caused the infection at its roots. The light destroys the infection and stimulates your nail to revitalize as it heals.
Your results can be seen in as little as 2-4 months, depending on how fast your nail grows. There is no down time after our laser treatment. You may return to your normal daily routine immediately following your treatments, including painting your nails and receiving manicure or pedicure treatments.
