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. 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 Wembley Downs

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! Should you contract an infection, numerous fungal nail treatments exist to assist you. These strategies are all designed to minimise your symptoms’ intensity and duration, aiding your nail’s healthy growth. Neglecting a fungal nail infection could result in the deformation or destruction of the nail, or in cases of a compromised immune system, a bacterial skin infection could develop. Prompt attention to any nail issues is crucial to mitigate potential complications.

The ABCs of 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, we frequently use the Lunula Laser to treat fungal nail infections. This method has shown to be much more tolerable than many other options on the market, making it the go-to for many of our clients. The process looks like:

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 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.
