Jacksonville Laser Doctor Offers Gentle Nail Fungus Therapy

By Jessie Drolet


While nearly everyone wants to look their best, a fungal infection of the nails can ruin the appearance of the toes or fingers. When summer arrives and it is time for sandals, those with this type of infection often keep their feet in closed toe shoes. With the help of Jacksonville toenail fungus therapy it is possible to have great looking feet for the summer.

Fungal infections cause nails to grow thick and have an ugly yellow discolored tint. The infected nails do not grow straight. The dead looking nail continues to grow thicker and uglier. Affected individuals often take great measures to cover the toes.

Fungal infections are easily caught. They thrive in many wet environments, including locker rooms and nail salons. The organism can enter one's nail when one is having a cuticle trimming or if the nail is injured. Even cracks on the skin's surface near one's nail can allow the infection of a nail.

Once the infection takes over the nail, controlling it can often be difficult. Many try topical medications to find they are unable to penetrate a nail and kill the living infection. Oral medications offer more effective control; however, the undesirable side effects they cause include possible liver damage.

One of the newest aids in controlling this type of condition is an FDA approved laser. Laser light can pass through a nail to kill the infection. Currently, the laser has no known side-effects and offers an effective method of stopping growth. Once the infection is killed, the healthy nail can grow to replace the unhealthy one.

Jacksonville toenail fungus therapy prevents the embarrassment due to fungal infection. The therapy allows a nail to return healthy and clear. It is able to penetrate under the nail to kill the fungal infection. Unlike many oral pills, there are no undesirable side effects for a patient.
