Our Brick NJ toenail laser therapy represents the most advanced and effective way for treating problems such as persistent toenail fungus. Our foot doctor is pleased to offer less invasive and safer methods for combating the issues and concerns that can cause you discomfort and pain in your feet. Previously, traditional surgery would be the best and even only solution when simpler ways proved to be insufficient to handle the situation. But that brings with it a host of potential complications, including bleeding and the need for stitches. In addition, surgery tends to have longer healing times, which means the inconvenience of not being able to go about your normal routine.
Toenail fungus can be bothersome and it is a threat to your optimal foot health. Particularly when your toes become infected. You may experience thickening, splitting, or cracking of your toenails. They may even turn brittle or yellow. That is the time when you definitely need to call us and book an appointment to be examined by Dr. D'Amato. Do not ignore it. In some cases, the matter can be treated with topical or oral medications, but if that is not applicable, you can take advantage of our Brick NJ toenail laser therapy. You will find it to be comfortable, convenient, and quick. It typically lasts only about 15 minutes. You will likely notice that your toes feel warm during the treatment, which is a clear sign that it is working.
The good news is that in the vast majority of instances, our Brick NJ toenail laser therapy will complete remove the infection. The exact number of treatments you need may depend upon your individual circumstances, as well as the severity of the infection, but a good rule of thumb is to expect about five. Unlike traditional surgery, you won't need to be worried about side effects or complications from the treatments. You should be able to walk normally, and resume your usual routine immediately after getting the therapy. Your nails will begin to look normal in about 4 to 6 weeks, with full growth typically occurring in several months.
