Say Goodbye to Fungal Issues with Our Nail Treatment

Fungal nail treatment is a common reason people visit a podiatrist, but it may not feel like it if it’s affecting you. If you feel alone in having a fungal nail infection, rest assured you don’t need to feel that way anymore. Fungal nail infections— also known as onychomycosis— affect up to 10% of people in Perth, making them much more common than many people realise. The presence of thick, discoloured, or distorted nails might suggest a fungal nail infection. This type of infection could make your nails brittle, crumbly, or ragged, produce an odour, and cause separation from the nail bed. These issues may dent your confidence, curtail your footwear selection, and lower your self-esteem. If this description aligns with your situation, it’s likely that a fungal nail treatment will help restore your confidence.

Give Your Feet the Care They Deserve with Churchlands’s Fungal Nail Treatment

When a fungus encounters a nail, often a toenail but it could also be a fingernail, a fungal nail infection can occur. This typically happens in humid and warm public environments like gyms, swimming pools, and locker rooms. Other factors such as nail injury, prolonged wear of closed shoes, excessive foot perspiration, or certain health conditions like diabetes can also lead to a fungal nail infection. Remember, everyone is susceptible to fungal nail infections, hence prevention is crucial! If you do develop an infection, there are many forms of fungal nail treatment available to help. These are all aimed towards reducing the severity and longevity of your symptoms, helping the nail to grow as healthily as possible. If you don’t treat a fungal nail infection, the nail could become deformed or destroyed, or if you have a weakened immune system, it may also lead to a bacterial skin infection. It’s important to address any nail problems as soon as possible to reduce your risk of complications.

All About Lunula Laser

Lunula laser treatment is a low-level laser treatment that most patients find painless and even comfortable. All you need to do is sit back and relax while the lasers get to work! Two lasers rotate over the nail, and together they weaken the structure of the fungal spores that caused the infection. As well as not being able to feel the lasers while they work, Lunula laser offers additional benefits such as:

  • Not interfering or interacting with any systemic medicine
  • No chance of liver toxicity
  • No chance of developing microbial resistance
  • Doesn’t produce any heat
  • Doesn’t produce any laser fumes
  • Drug-free treatment
  • Chemical-free treatment

At its core, Lunula laser leverages low-level laser light to augment your body’s natural defenses, urging them to tackle the microbes responsible for toenail fungus.

The Lunula Laser Process

The Lunula Laser is a favoured treatment modality for fungal nail infections at Doubleview Podiatry. It has been demonstrated to be far more agreeable than a host of other choices on offer, making it a popular selection for many of our clients. Here’s how the process unfolds:

1. Testing For Fungus

Not every discoloured or misshapen nail is caused by fungus, so we check to ensure we’re treating the correct condition.

2. Forming A Treatment Plan

Subsequently, we join hands with you to construct a treatment regimen for your fungal nail infection. The Lunula laser is apt for the majority, but naturally, we seek your opinion regarding your own treatment.

3. Laser Treatment

The process of the laser treatment is quite expedient, approximately taking 12 minutes per foot. We aid you in orienting your foot within the machine, and then it’s just about patiently waiting as the lasers take over!

4. Review And Assess

The initial course of Lunula laser treatment involves four sessions, one week apart. We’ll advise you of how long your overall treatment is expected to take, and will review and assess your nail as we go.

Your Fungal Nail Treatment Questions Answered

  • How long does it take for Vicks VapoRub to cure toenail fungus?

    If you choose to use Vicks VapoRub in an effort to combat your toenail fungus, this method may take about six months or longer and in some cases, may not provide any benefit at all.

  • How do I get rid of nail fungus ASAP?

    Lunula laser is known to be one of the quickest ways to get rid of nail fungus, as is Canesten® Fungal Nail Treatment Set. Both options may take as little as four weeks to eliminate nail fungus.

  • What is the fastest way to cure toenail fungus?

    Each person’s fungal nail infection is different, so there’s not one overall fastest option. Some people may find that Lunula laser works quickest for them, whereas others may find a topical treatment such as Canesten® the fastest treatment option.

  • What is the most effective treatment for toenail fungus?

    Lunula laser is often heralded as the most effective treatment for toenail fungus. Other options have been shown to produce serious side effects or not even work at all, and early fungal nail laser systems often generated uncomfortable heat. Thanks to advances in technology and modern medicine, Lunula laser is considered to be the most effective option today.
