Laser treatment for fungal nails (Onychomycosis) is available in our Calgary podiatry clinic
How does it work?
The Laser kills fungus that lives in and under the nail. A laser passes through the nail without damaging it or the surrounding skin. Although the existing nail will not become clear immediately upon treatment, the new nail growth will appear normal, as the fungus will no longer be present.
How Successful is the Treatment?
Clinical studies have demonstrated laser treatment significantly reduces toenail fungal infection, leading to improved appearance. These studies also report no adverse effects or injuries associated with this treatment. However, there is no treatment that can successfully eradicate 100% of the fungus in every patient.
Is the procedure painful?
Intermittently, patients may experience a sensation of heat or a pin prick. The level of discomfort is not so significant as to require local anesthetic.
Is there a recovery period?
One of the advantages of this breakthrough procedure is that there is no down time. Patients walk in, walk out, and have no physical limitations following treatment.
