Onychomycosis, or nail fungus, is an infection of the toenail in which the nail changes color, thickness, and quality. In addition to causing an unhealthy appearance, it can cause pain and difficulty walking.
Laser treatment for nail fungus is safe, quick, and highly effective. Most patients are able to be clear of their infection with only one or two treatments. Laser procedures for nail fungus are proven to be a much safer and more effective method as compared to oral medications or topical creams.
