The difficulties of treating nail fungus can vary for each person. You’ve probably heard the saying, “if at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again.” You might have first heard it way back when you were learning how to ride a bike, or when you couldn’t figure out how to solve that one math problem back in middle school. Now that you have a nail fungus infection you will have to keep it in mind once again.
Why is it difficult to treat?
Nail fungus can be very difficult to treat. Some people try to treat their nail fungus for years or even decades. One of the reasons for this is that many nail fungus treatments have difficulty reaching the nail fungus that lives on the nail bed. Home remedies and topical medications are good examples of these kinds of treatments. If you try one of these treatments the chances of you seeing the results that you want are very slim. In this case, if you don’t succeed and keep trying the same treatments over and over again, you may just be wasting your time.
If you try an unsuccessful nail fungus treatment you shouldn’t give up completely. You should just try using a different treatment instead. The treatment that is best suited to penetrate the nail is nail fungus laser treatment. Unlike home remedies and topical medications, laser treatment does have a high success rate so your results will likely be much better. Of course, the best thing would be for you to succeed the first time, so you may want to skip the less successful treatment options and try nail fungus laser treatment right away. If you succeed the first time, you won’t need to try, try 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 Northridge, CA 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.
