04月13 Treatments for Nail Fungus – 980nm Diode Laser Machine
Don’t want to treat your nail fungus? Maybe it doesn’t hurt, and the yellow, thick nails don’t bother you. Maybe you think it’ll go away on its own.
But nail fungus doesn’t go away by itself. And if you don’t treat this infection, there’s a chance it could get worse. It could spread to other nails or through your body. It could cause pain when you walk.
Luckily, you have a number of ways to take care of it. Here’s a look at what you can try.
Non-prescription options. You can buy antifungal creams, gels, and nail polish at the store and online without a prescription. You might want to try one of them first if the infection doesn’t look bad. Some people also swear by home remedies like menthol rub, tea tree oil, mouthwash, or snakeroot extract — but studies show mixed results.
Prescription drugs . One of several antifungal pills may help. They work, but it may take many months to do the job. They also come with side effects like nausea, vomiting, and headaches. They may cause liver damage, too, so your doctor will watch you closely while you take them. Be sure to tell her about any other meds you’re taking — some antifungal pills might not work well with them.
Nail removal. If the infection is deep and you’ve had it for a while, your doctor may want to remove all or part of your nail. A new nail usually grows back, but it might take a year or so. While it’s coming back, your doctor will likely give you a cream or other treatment to put on your nail bed to keep fungus away.
Laser treatment. You might have success getting your toenails zapped with targeted lasers. Several types of lasers are used. There isn’t a lot of research on them and the results are mixed. Laser treatment isn’t covered by insurance, though, and it can cost a lot.
How long does the toenail laser treatment take?
It takes approximately 15 minutes to treat an infected toe’s fungus. If you have more than one toe infected with toenail fungus, it may take longer.
How many sessions will be needed?
To achieve optimal results, we recommend a series of 3 – 4 treatment sessions, spaced 5 – 6 weeks apart. This is essential to eradicate all fungi spores that may bloom after your initial treatment. However, significant improvement is usually seen after one treatment.

Take Care of Your Toes
Use soap and water to wash your feet, and dry well, including between toes. Trim your toenails — straight across — to keep them shorter than the end of your toe. Make sure the tools you use are clean, too. Wash clippers and files with soap and water, then wipe with rubbing alcohol. You might be tempted to cover up discolored nails with polish, but don’t. Your nail bed can’t “breathe,” which keeps fungus from going away.
