During your onychomycosis treatment, our specialists will first analyze the severity of the fungal infection and recommend a customized approach. Onychomycosis laser treatment is one of the most effective options, using targeted laser energy to penetrate the nail and destroy fungal pathogens without damaging the surrounding tissue. For those preferring onychomycosis topical treatment, we provide medical-grade antifungal nail lacquers designed to inhibit fungal growth. Some patients may also benefit from combination therapies, integrating nail lacquer treatment with advanced laser procedures for optimal results.
Treatment sessions are quick, non-invasive, and require no downtime. Results typically begin to show as the healthy nail grows out, which can take several months, depending on the severity of the infection.
Depending on the severity of the infection, onychomycosis can be treated with laser therapy, topical antifungal medications, or oral antifungal pills. Laser treatment is a safe, non-invasive option that targets the fungus without damaging the surrounding tissue. For milder cases, nail lacquer treatment and prescription antifungal creams can be effective when applied consistently.
Results depend on the infection and the treatment used, but most patients begin to see improvement within 3 to 6 months as the healthy nail grows out. Toenails grow slower than fingernails, so full regrowth may take up to 12 months. Consistent treatment and proper foot care can help accelerate healing and prevent reinfection.
Keep your feet clean and dry, trim nails properly, and wear breathable shoes and moisture-wicking socks to prevent onychomycosis. Avoid walking barefoot in public areas like gyms and pools, and regularly disinfect nail tools and footwear.
Untreated onychomycosis can worsen, causing nails to become thick, brittle, painful, and even detach from the nail bed. The infection may spread to other nails or skin, leading to complications like athlete’s foot or bacterial infections. Those with diabetes or weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to severe infections and should seek treatment promptly.
Healing signs include clear nail growth from the base, reduced discoloration, and less thickening or crumbling of the nail. The infected portion is gradually pushed out as the healthy nail grows in.
Yes, onychomycosis can return if proper foot hygiene and preventive measures are not followed after treatment. To reduce the risk of recurrence, keep your feet clean and dry, wear breathable shoes, and avoid walking barefoot in public areas. Regularly disinfecting nail tools and using antifungal sprays or powders can also help prevent reinfection.
