Effective Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus | [Your Clinic Name]
Toenail fungus infects the nail and transforms it from a clear, healthy nail into a thickened, unsightly, yellow one. Since fungus is ever-present in daily life, it's easy to become infected with toenail fungus. Laser treatment has emerged as a successful way of combating this condition.-
How It Works
-
The laser is aimed directly at the affected toenail. The light from the laser penetrates the nail and destroys the fungus living beneath it.
Pain Concerns
-
Toenail fungus laser treatment is pain-free. It attacks the fungus and leaves the tissue, skin and bone untouched and unharmed.
Length of Treatment
-
Treatment times vary depending upon the laser manufacturer. Most lasers will eradicate toe fungus in one visit, taking 10 to 30 minutes per toe.
Insurance Coverage and Cost
-
Since it is considered a cosmetic option, insurance plans rarely cover the cost of toenail fungus laser treatment. Cost of treatment is typically around $1,000.
Success Rate
-
A study conducted by PinPointe laser found an 87 percent success rate in getting rid of toenail fungus.
