Thick, Yellow, Fungus Nails

As the temperatures are getting warmer, the sandals are starting to come out and people are beginning to show their toes. For some people though, this can be an embarrassing time of year due to their thick, yellow, fungus nails. There is no need to hide those pigs though, due to a newer form of treatment known as laser therapy. Through several short treatment sessions, your toenails will look as good as new and you will be able to wear any type of sandal you want to.

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that employs the usage of lasers tuned to a specific frequency. These lasers effectively pass through your skin and nail without leaving any damage to you, but still killing the fungus. This method allows you to kill the source of the discoloration and thickening of your nails while not leaving any injury to you.

Many people who have these thick, yellow nails have tried every nail fungus lotion, cream, paint, etc. Unfortunately, these treatments don’t work on everyone and leave people feeling frustrated. Laser therapy has shown a high success rate in individuals who have not had any improvements with other therapies. After the first or second treatment you will start to see positive results. Nails grow at a slow rate though, about 6 months for the entire toenail to regrow. As a result of this, it will take a while before your nail will appear completely “normal.” Laser therapy is a great way for your nails to look the way you want them to and give you no reason to not show off those toes.
