Dr. Smith has a K-Laser – Smartest choice of Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment

Toenail fungus is a common and stubborn fungal infection that affects the toenails by making them hard, thick and yellowish. You can find almost 25 million Americans affected with this problem desperately seeking for permanent and effective remedies. But the real problem is that there is hardly any foolproof cure for this problem since common oral medications like Lamisil eradicate merely about 10% of the fungal infection. You may come across a range of other topical medications approved by the FDA that claim to treat toenail fungus, but most of the time the problem persists even after the course of treatment is complete.

However, with the introduction of lasers a new horizon is rapidly opening for tackling this problem successfully. The lasers help you get rid of toenail fungus permanently and prevent it from recurring by killing the fungi without harming the nail and the cuticle. If you undergo laser treatment for toenail fungus, you will observe that the skin expert is using the laser rays by shining it through the toenail.

This process takes only a few minutes per toe to vaporize the fungus without affecting the healthy tissues around the affected area. And because the laser rays work only on the infection, you would not feel any pain, side effects, complications or adverse reactions after the treatment. Generally, the cost of laser therapy ranges from $200 to $500 not covered by your health insurance and requires an initial fee of around $50. You may require another laser treatment if your infection is initially resistant or non responsive to the treatment.

With the rising awareness about the efficiency of laser treatment for treating toenail fungus, several companies have come forward to offer laser therapies.  Laser treatments bring about only 80% cure. 

How exactly do the lasers work?

These lasers are aimed at the fungus in the toenail that basically vaporizes it while leaving your skin unharmed. Results vary but usually take up to 2 months to see improvement.  Second treatment may be needed.

Does it work?

Around first clinic studies earlier last year with lasers, almost 80 percent of the patients were able to grow out a regular appearing nail after just one laser treatment. After that treatment, the toenail should grow usually in 6 months if there's a healthy bed to do so.  
 

Is the laser treatment agonizing?  Is it Safe?

The laser has absolutely no affect on regular and healthy skin tissue, there's no pain. The studies taken so far show absolutely no side effects from taking the laser treatment to get rid of the fungus.

How long will it take?

Only minutes are needed for treatment, per toe.

So... how safe is it?

There are absolutely no health or age restrictions. In recent clinical studies there were no bad reactions, harm, ailments or side effects.   

**There are no gaurantees implied in this blog.  Laser treatment is good and safe but not perfect.
