Fungal Toenail Treatment Balcatta
Experience Transformation with Doubleview Podiatry’s Fungal Nail Solution
Often, people end up at a podiatrist’s clinic due to a familiar issue – fungal nail treatment. If you’re in the midst of such a condition, remember you aren’t alone. Fungal nail infections, clinically known as onychomycosis, aren’t as rare as one might presume – they affect a significant 10% of Perth’s populace. If you have thickened, discoloured, or misshapen nails, you may have a fungal nail infection. Fungal nail infections may also cause the nail to become brittle, crumbly, or ragged, and can lead to an odour and separation from the nail bed. These symptoms may make you feel self-conscious and limit your footwear choices, as well as affect your overall self-esteem. If this sounds like what you’re experiencing, fungal nail treatment may be just what you need to have you feeling confident again.
Treat Your Feet With Fungal Nail Treatment Balcatta
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! Should you contract an infection, numerous fungal nail treatments exist to assist you. These strategies are all designed to minimise your symptoms’ intensity and duration, aiding your nail’s healthy growth. Neglecting a fungal nail infection could result in the deformation or destruction of the nail, or in cases of a compromised immune system, a bacterial skin infection could develop. Prompt attention to any nail issues is crucial to mitigate potential complications.
The ABCs of Lunula Laser
The Lunula laser therapy is a low-intensity laser procedure that is often described as painless and quite soothing by patients. Your only job is to unwind while the lasers diligently perform their task! A pair of lasers circulate over the nail, concurrently working to break down the structure of the fungal spores responsible for 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
Essentially, Lunula laser utilises low-level laser light to strengthen your body’s natural defence system, facilitating it to battle the microbes instigating toenail fungus.
The Lunula Laser Process
At Doubleview Podiatry, we frequently use the Lunula Laser to treat fungal nail infections. This method has shown to be much more tolerable than many other options on the market, making it the go-to for many of our clients. The process looks like:
1. Testing For Fungus
Every discoloured or distorted nail doesn’t necessarily imply a fungal cause, so we make it a point to verify we’re treating the appropriate condition.
2. Forming A Treatment Plan
Next, we collaborate with you to devise a treatment strategy to tackle your fungal nail infection. While the Lunula laser suits most individuals, we always value and consider your personal preferences for your treatment.
3. Laser Treatment
The laser treatment itself is relatively quick, taking approximately 12 minutes per foot. We’ll help you position your foot in the machine, and then all you need to do is wait for the lasers to do what they do!
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.
