Fungal Nail Treatment Innaloo

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. 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.

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

Fungal nail infections occur when a fungus comes into contact with a nail (usually a toenail, but it can also affect fingernails). This often happens in warm and moist public spaces like swimming pools, gyms, and locker rooms. However, you can also get a fungal nail infection if you injure your nail, wear closed shoes for extended periods of time, have sweaty feet, or have a condition that increases your chances of developing a fungal nail infection such as diabetes. Anybody can get a fungal nail infection, so it’s best to try to prevent one wherever possible! If you happen to acquire an infection, an array of fungal nail treatment alternatives is available for your aid. These treatments are specifically geared towards reducing the harshness and persistence of your symptoms, facilitating the nail’s optimal health. Disregarding a fungal nail infection could lead to nail disfiguration or destruction, or possibly a bacterial skin infection if your immune system is weak. Swiftly addressing any nail concerns is paramount to lessen the chance 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

Overall, Lunula laser uses low-level laser light to enhance your body’s natural defence mechanisms, encouraging it to combat the microbes that cause toenail fungus.
