Since it only requires one treatment to kill the fungus.

Aftercare for Nail Fungus

The laser is powerful enough to kill all of the fungus present under the nail. You still have some upkeep to maintain. After the treatment, all of the fungus under your nail will be eliminated. Although, re-infection with the fungus is always possible. To ensure that you don’t re-infect yourself, there are a few guidelines and aftercare tools you can use. 

The first aftercare guidelines for the PinPointe treatment involve using some products to keep fungus away from the nails. To ensure that no fungus on the skin of your foot re-infects your nails, it is recommended to use an antifungal foot cream. This foot cream should be applied to the skin on your toes and feet daily for 2 weeks following the laser treatment.

To kill any fungus harboured in your shoes, it is recommended to use an antifungal shoe spray each time that you wear a pair of shoes. Lastly, an antifungal nail solution should be applied daily to every nail. This solution works to prevent fungal infection in the same way that toothpaste prevents cavities, and should be used as aftercare for as long as possible.

Other Recommendations for aftercare

Aside from these aftercare products, it is also important to maintain good foot hygiene. This involves avoiding walking barefoot in public places, not sharing shoes, and not wearing sweaty songs for long periods of time. These are lifetime habits you should get into to avoid catching fungus.
