Toenail Fungus Laser Treatment – Have Hopes?

Toenail fungus laser treatment has gained much popularity in these days because of its reach to the people in offering painless method of treating infected toenail without side effect. Prior to the introduction of laser treatment for toenail fungus, people were depending upon pharmaceuticals inclusive of side effects. As a way of avoiding side effects, perhaps in the liver, people offered to shift to home remedies such as topical application of lavender oil, tea tree oil, Vicks vaporub, chlorine bleach, and sometimes beer for toenail fungus cure. But the home remedies for nail fungus cannot work satisfactorily to eliminate toenail fungus.

Away from the alternative treatments, laser treatment for toenail fungus is potent to kill the nail fungus with the emission of infrared lasers for about 20 to 30 minutes. When the laser rays are emitted, heat is generated but no pain is felt during the treatment. It is not associated to direct surgical operation but sharp application of powerful ultra red rays on the infected nail bed. The rays penetrate to the depth of the ingrown toenail and uproot the fungal infection completely.

The greatness of toenail fungus laser treatment is its advanced technology designed and launched by the developers of laser techniques. Another salient feature of laser therapy is the personal attention given by the podiatrists because it requires technical know how along with field experience to treat toenail fungal infection. In spite of all these, can you claim that the laser-feed method works at 100% level to get rid of nail fungus? Though there are proven results of high degree of reliability, the trials are significant and successful only with some people. In between the two ends (Success and Failure), the cure rate for toenail fungus treatment using laser lacks “favor”.

Though the podiatrists claim that the laser works well to get rid nail fungus, the result of the treatment cannot be assessed immediately. Indeed, the patient has to wait to see whether the treatment has worked well or not. It requires at least four to six months to confirming the success rate of clinical trials with laser therapy. Also, there is reasonable hesitation with many for laser treatment because it requires high expenditure and repeated sittings. The cost of the treatment may be around $900-$1200 initially though it may be a little less in subsequent visits. People opting for toe nail laser cure have no insurance coverage for laser treatment.
It’s up to you to choosing laser treatment with a pinch of confidence!
