Fungal Nail Treatment Trigg
Fungal Nail Treatment Is Here To Save The Day
Fungal nail treatment is a common reason people visit a podiatrist, but it may not feel like it if it’s affecting you. If you feel alone in having a fungal nail infection, rest assured you don’t need to feel that way anymore. Fungal nail infections— also known as onychomycosis— affect up to 10% of people in Perth, making them much more common than many people realise. 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.
Refresh Your Feet with Fungal Nail Therapy in Trigg
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! If you do develop an infection, there are many forms of fungal nail treatment available to help. These are all aimed towards reducing the severity and longevity of your symptoms, helping the nail to grow as healthily as possible. If you don’t treat a fungal nail infection, the nail could become deformed or destroyed, or if you have a weakened immune system, it may also lead to a bacterial skin infection. It’s important to address any nail problems as soon as possible to reduce your risk of complications.
All About Lunula Laser
Lunula laser, a low-intensity laser treatment, is typically perceived as painless and even comfortable by the majority of patients. All that’s required of you is to recline and relax as the lasers work their magic! Two lasers hover over the nail, collectively targeting and weakening the fungal spores triggering 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 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
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 procedure is fairly swift, typically lasting about 12 minutes for each foot. We’ll assist you in positioning your foot in the device, and after that, it’s just a matter of waiting while the lasers work their magic!
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.
