What Is Laser Treatment For Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus begins as brown, grey, white, or yellow. The nail also separates from the nail bed, which can be painful and make it difficult to walk or wear shoes. The causes often result from walking barefoot in a moist environment, improper nail care from a pedicurist, bacterial or fungal infection, and metabolic diseases. Consult Dr. Cardinal at the first sign of your symptoms to learn more about our non-invasive laser treatment for toenail fungus. This FDA-approved light therapy uses energy pulses to generate heat that focuses on the fungus to eliminate it. After assessing the severity of your condition, Dr. Cardinal will determine how many sessions you'll require to remove the fungus entirely.

Toenail fungus in its early stages can be tricky to diagnose due to the lack of symptoms. But Dr. Gregory Cardinal has an eagle eye for diagnosing this condition and is eager to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding toenail fungus. Brown or black spots and white streaks on the nail could indicate an infection, which may progress to more visible changes such as the nail thickening or having a bumpy surface.
