Experience Transformation with Doubleview Podiatry’s Fungal Nail Solution

As a typical concern, fungal nail therapy often brings people to a podiatrist’s office. If you’re dealing with such an issue, you’re definitely not alone. Don’t let the prevalence of onychomycosis— another term for fungal nail infections— make you feel isolated. In fact, around 10% of Perth’s population is known to experience this, showing it’s more prevalent than you might think. Thickened, discoloured, or irregularly shaped nails may indicate a fungal nail infection. This infection can also make the nail brittle, fragmented, or jagged, with potential odour and detachment from the nail bed. Such symptoms could hamper your confidence, limit your choices in footwear, and overall affect your self-esteem. If this echoes your current condition, a fungal nail treatment might be the key to regaining your confidence.

Refresh Your Feet with Fungal Nail Therapy in Osborne Park

Fungi coming into contact with a nail, particularly toenails but also possibly fingernails, can lead to fungal nail infections. Commonly, this transpires in damp and warm public areas such as gyms, swimming pools, and changing rooms. Yet, factors like sustaining a nail injury, wearing tight shoes for a prolonged duration, having sweaty feet, or suffering from conditions like diabetes could also pave the way for a fungal nail infection. Given that anyone can contract a fungal nail infection, prevention is indeed the best strategy! 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.

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

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

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 all discoloured or deformed nails can be attributed to fungal infection, so we ensure we’re targeting the right ailment through thorough examination.

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 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.
