The answer is YES….and right now! This is the perfect time of year to treat your toenail fungus with our laser treatment at New Mexico Foot & Ankle Institute.
Best Time for Toenail Fungus Treatment
Toenail fungus is treatable, and the fall and winter months are the perfect time to have your laser treatment performed. It takes months to regrow healthy, non-infected nails. If you treat now, you should have clear nails just in time for sandal season.
Now that you have tried oral medication and topical remedies, isn’t it time to make an appointment to see our Albuquerque podiatrist office and schedule an appointment for a consult to discuss laser treatment?
Laser Treats Toenail Fungus in Albuquerque
The HyperBlue laser is an advanced treatment used for toenail fungus (onychomycosis), a common condition that causes discoloration, thickening, and crumbling of the toenail. It is a non-invasive, effective method that targets the underlying fungal infection without harming the surrounding tissue.
The laser sends energy into and through the nail and/or surrounding skin, which causes heat damage, killing the fungus. This procedure is fast, safe, and requires no anesthesia or drugs. Walk in, walk out!
Here’s how the HyperBlue laser works to treat toenail fungus:
1. Laser Energy Penetrates the Nail:
The HyperBlue laser emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the toenail and reach the nail bed where the fungus resides. The laser energy is carefully calibrated to target the fungal cells specifically without damaging healthy tissue surrounding the nail.
2. Fungus Destruction:
The laser light works by generating heat, which damages the fungal cells and inhibits their ability to reproduce and spread. The laser energy essentially disrupts the cell structure of the fungus, killing it or preventing it from growing further.
3. Stimulates Healing:
In addition to killing the fungus, the laser also helps promote healing in the affected area. It increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to the nail, which can enhance the natural healing process and encourage the growth of a healthy nail.
