Texas has an average of 234 sunny days per year and residents see warm temperatures year-round. These warm temperatures make it the ideal place to walk around in sandals and flip-flops - but if you have unsightly toenail fungus, you may feel embarrassed to walk around in sandals. At West Texas Foot & Ankle Associates, we are proud to be able to provide nail laser treatments for those who are suffering from nail fungus and its related symptoms. 

Signs of Nail Fungus

• You notice your toenails are thicker
• Whitish to yellow-brown discoloration
• Your nails are brittle, crumbly, or ragged
• Your nails distorted in shape
• Your nails have a slightly foul smell

Advantages of Toenail Laser Treatment 

Compared to alternative treatments, toenail fungus laser treatments are fast, effective, and have impressive results. Some benefits of laser treatments include:

• It is a safe and painless treatment
• There is no harm done to the nail or surrounding area
• There is no analgesia required
• There are no unpleasant side effects
• No liver enzyme test is required
• Has a very quick recovery time
• Treatment is suitable for all ages
• Only 15 minutes required to treat both feet

How Does Laser Treatment Work?

A specially designed laser beams through the toenail and safely kills organisms embedded in the nail bed that cause toenail fungus (Onychomycosis). Clinical studies show that the laser kills toenail fungus and promotes clear nail growth with a single treatment in 80% of cases. The laser treatment is safe, effective, and patients begin to see an improvement after their first treatment.

We use the  Hyper Blue 1530 laser that can get rid of nail fungus without the need for oral medications. The laser uses wavelengths that penetrate the nail and eliminate the fungus causing the infection. It leaves your nail revitalized as it grows out and the laser does not cause any damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. The procedure requires three safe, quick sessions to be completed with little to no discomfort.
