Experience Transformation with Doubleview Podiatry’s Fungal Nail Solution

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. 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.

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

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! 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, 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

At its core, Lunula laser leverages low-level laser light to augment your body’s natural defenses, urging them to tackle the microbes responsible for 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

Every discoloured or distorted nail doesn’t necessarily imply a fungal cause, so we make it a point to verify we’re treating the appropriate 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.
