Fungal Toenail Treatment Karrinyup
Say Goodbye to Fungal Issues with Our Nail Treatment
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. Should your nails appear thick, discoloured, or deformed, it could be a sign of a fungal nail infection. The condition might also result in brittle, crumbling or uneven nails, accompanied by an unusual odour and the nail separating from its bed. These symptoms can lead to self-consciousness, restrict your footwear options, and impact your self-esteem. If these conditions resonate with your experience, the appropriate fungal nail treatment could restore your confidence.
Experience Podiatric Care with Karrinyup’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! 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.
Understanding the 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
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, our preferred tool to combat fungal nail infections is the Lunula Laser. It’s proven to be a highly comfortable option compared to others available, earning the trust of numerous clients. Here’s a glimpse of what the procedure entails:
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
Following this, we cooperate with you to establish a treatment blueprint for your fungal nail infection. Although the Lunula laser is generally suitable, we highly regard your viewpoint on your 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.
