Nail fungus treatment results can take time to see. Whenever we have any sort of issue, the vast majority of us want a quick solution and fast, proven results. Although our modern society tries hardest to accomplish these type of solutions in every industry, it is not always tangible or even possible. The same goes for nail fungus.
When do I see results?
People who suffer from nail fungus want the same thing; clear, healthy-looking nails right away. Unfortunately, nail fungus is a very infectious disease and changes the way our nails look in shape, color, and overall appearance. With this in mind, we need to understand that the shape, color, and appearance of the nail cannot change with the press, zap, or application of any sort of treatment. The healthier nail needs to grow in as the old nail grows out and gets cut/removed progressively.
On average, our nails take six to nine months to fully grow out, however, the speed of nail growth does vary from person to person. After treating your nails, you should understand that you need to wait for results to show, as mentioned above results are not apparent instantly or overnight, you must wait.
Treatment Options
Some treatment options include topical solutions and oral medication. Topical solutions have a very low success rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way under the nail bed. All the fungus has to die to be cured. Also, it can take months to see any results. Oral medication has a better success rate. Although, they can cause liver toxicity. You would need constant blood tests while taking the medication. This is why our doctors do not recommend oral medication. It can be a tedious and nerve-racking treatment.
Laser Treatment for Nail Fungus
If you have caught nail fungus as well, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Compared with other lasers that require 4 treatments.
Our toenail doctor in Manhattan, NY recommends this treatment. The PinPointe Laser treatment has the highest cure rate in the market. It has no side effects and no recovery period. As a result, you can go about your daily activities right after the treatment. Also, it is not painful.
