Fungal Nail Treatment City Beach
Our Fungal Nail Therapy: Your Path to Healthier Nails
Fungal nail ailments are a frequent cause for podiatry visits. Still, it may not seem that way when it’s impacting you personally. If you’re feeling solitary in dealing with a fungal nail condition, know there’s no reason for such sentiments. Onychomycosis— better known as fungal nail infections— are surprisingly commonplace, impacting nearly 10% of individuals in Perth. 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.
Treat Your Feet With Fungal Nail Treatment City Beach
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! In case an infection sets in, a plethora of fungal nail treatment options is at your disposal. These methods focus on alleviating the severity and lastingness of your symptoms, thereby promoting the healthiest possible growth of your nail. Failure to address a fungal nail infection might lead to nail distortion or annihilation, or, for individuals with a frail immune system, may result in a bacterial skin infection. It is vital to tackle nail problems at the earliest to curtail the risk of complications.
Discovering the 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
Fundamentally, Lunula laser employs low-intensity laser light to boost your body’s innate defensive capabilities, prompting it to fight against the microorganisms that result in 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
It’s not a given that every nail with discolouration or abnormal shape is due to a fungus, so we diligently check to confirm we’re addressing the right issue.
2. Forming A Treatment Plan
We then work with you to form a treatment plan to address your fungal nail infection. The Lunula laser is suitable for most people, but of course we would like your input on your own treatment.
3. Laser Treatment
The actual laser treatment is rather quick, with about 12 minutes needed per foot. We’ll guide you in placing your foot within the apparatus, and then it’s merely a waiting game while the lasers do their job!
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.
