A lot of people have trouble getting rid of their nail fungus. This is because nail fungus is not only stubborn, but many of the treatment options don’t have a very high success rate. Laser treatment for nail fungus, however, is a very successful procedure. But even with this procedure, the fungus may come back. This is why patients should take extra precautions once they leave the office by using nail fungus post-treatment care products.

One item that should definitely be used is a nail lacquer. Nail lacquers serve as a barrier that will help keep nail fungus from reinfecting your toenails. Similar in application to nail polish, nail lacquers will seal the openings around your toenails keeping nail fungus from returning. Applying nail fungus on a regular basis will go a long way towards helping you stay fungus-free in the future.

Other helpful products include antifungal creams and sprays. Both of these products are designed to fight off infections such as toenail fungus. If you leave the office wearing the same socks that you walked in with, you may be reinfected already. Sprays can at least help disinfect your shoes. The more post-care products you use the better. You don’t want to deal with nail fungus again.

Laser Treatment for Nail Fungus

If you have caught nail fungus, it can be easily treated using the FDA-approved PinPointe laser, which typically only takes on treatment. Other treatments like topical solutions and oral medication are not as effective. Topical solutions have a very low cure rate. This is because the solution does not penetrate all the way through the nail bed.  This is because it can lead to liver toxicity. You would need to have consistent blood tests throughout the course of taking the medication. 

Our nail doctor in Middleton, MA recommends this treatment for Toenail Fungus. 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.
