fairly common for those looking for relief from their toenail fungus<\/a>. Using a laser, we shine the beam through the toenail to kill the fungus growing under the toenail without harming nearby tissue.<\/p>\nWhat are the pros of laser toenail treatment?<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019ve taken lots of antifungals in the past, you may have experienced some less than pleasant side effects. If this is the case, you\u2019ll be happy to hear that laser toenail treatment has no side effects. If you hate the idea of taking medication, then getting laser toenail treatment in New York City is a safer solution for you. Laser treatment is very effective at targeting and killing pervasive fungus that hasn\u2019t been relieved through the use of other more conservative measures.<\/p>\n
Are there any drawbacks to this treatment?<\/h4>\n
While laser treatment is effective in treating your toenail fungus, you won\u2019t walk out of the office with a healthy-looking toenail. Your healthy, clear toenail still needs time to grow in. While the infection will be gone, it will take a couple months for the new toenail to grow in clear.<\/p>\n
What is the procedure like? Does it hurt?<\/h4>\n
The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes per infected toenail. The procedure is relatively painless, but some patients have noted that the laser produces a warming sensation around their toe. Some have noted the feeling of a tiny pinprick. Usually one session is all that\u2019s needed to effectively treat the fungus. No drugs and no anesthesia are needed for this laser treatment.<\/p>\n
Is there a recovery period?<\/h4>\n
Since anesthesia is not needed, there is really no recovery period. After your laser treatment in New York City, you are free to carry on about your day. In less than an hour you could have a fungus-free toenail.<\/p>\n
Will this get rid of my toenail fungus for good?<\/h4>\n
While this laser treatment will get rid of your fungus, there is no guarantee that you will never experience another infection again. We will offer tips for preventing these infections in the future; however, fungus is all around us, and for those who are more prone to infection, it might be harder to remain infection-free.<\/p>\n
