Time-consuming toenail fungus treatments can be difficult to deal with. It can often be frustrating when you want to rid yourself of an infection and end up wasting your time when it doesn’t work. People with nail fungus know all about this. The time it takes to get rid of nail fungus can really seem like an endless battle. This is because the majority of treatment options on the market take a lot of time to use and require a lot of patience in doing so.

Treatment Options

For example, topical medications must continuously be used and applied for the toenail fungus to even have a chance of going away. Other treatments, such as oral medications and home remedies have their own problems as well. Oral medications not only take time to work, but they can also cause serious side effects such as liver damage. Home remedies will most likely not have any kind of effect on your nails at all.

One more toenail fungus treatment option you could try, however, is laser treatment. If you do decide to choose the laser treatment option, the fungus will be killed by the laser instantly. In addition, it won’t require you to digest any harmful medications. With all that said, you will still need to be patient before you see the full results and entirely clear nails. While the laser will kill your toenail fungus during the treatment, you will not see the full results until a new nail grows out and takes the old nail’s place. For this reason, it is a time-consuming toenail fungus treatment. Just remember that there is an end in sight to your nail fungus battle.

Laser Treatment for Toenail 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 St. Louis, MO 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.
