Your ClearSteps Laser Onychomycosis Treatment begins with a thorough assessment of the fungal infection in your toenails. This assessment helps determine the extent of the infection and ensures that the treatment is tailored to your specific needs.

Nd:YAG Laser Treatment

The treatment involves using our Nd:YAG laser to target the fungal infection in your toenails. Our technician will administer a circular pattern over the affected nails and the surrounding skin. This comprehensive approach is crucial for preventing reinfection, especially if the parasitic fungus has spread to the skin.

Post-Treatment Care and Prevention

To further safeguard against reinfection, it's essential to wash and treat any socks, shoes, or sandals that may harbour the fungus. Throughout the treatment, you may feel a mild sensation of heating as the laser works to target the infection. However, there is no downtime associated with this procedure, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately afterwards. While immediate results may not be noticeable, full results typically manifest over the course of 9 to 12 months. This timeframe aligns with the natural growth cycle of toenails, as it takes time for the healthy nail to grow out and replace the infected nail.

Treating toe infections can alleviate discomfort, pain, and itching, restoring comfort to your feet. This can lead to a more pleasant walking experience and better overall foot health.

Treatment can improve the appearance of affected toenails or skin, reducing discoloration, thickening, or other visible signs of infection. This can boost your confidence and self-esteem, especially in situations where bare feet are exposed.

Addressing the infection promptly can prevent it from spreading to other toes or areas of the body. This is crucial for preventing further complications and reducing the risk of infecting others.

Reduced Risk of Complications

By treating the infection, you can lower the risk of developing more severe complications, such as cellulitis or abscesses. This can save you from potential pain, discomfort, and additional treatment.

Proper treatment can expedite the healing process, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner and avoid prolonged discomfort. This can improve your quality of life and prevent the infection from interfering with your daily routine.

How can I prevent toenail fungal infections in the future?

To prevent future infections, it's important to practice good foot hygiene. This includes washing your feet regularly with soap and water, drying them thoroughly, and keeping your nails trimmed and clean. Wear breathable socks made of natural fibers and change them daily. Avoid walking barefoot in public areas like locker rooms and showers, and consider using antifungal powder or spray in your shoes. If you frequent nail salons, make sure they follow proper sterilization procedures. Regularly inspect your feet and nails for any signs of infection, and seek prompt treatment if you notice anything unusual.

Is the toenail fungal treatment painful?

The treatment is generally painless, as it involves the application of laser light to the affected nails. Patients may experience a mild warming sensation during the procedure, but it is well-tolerated. The laser targets the fungus without causing harm to the surrounding skin or tissue, making it a comfortable option for treating toenail fungal infections. Any discomfort experienced is usually minimal and temporary. Most patients find the procedure quick and convenient, with no downtime required afterwards.

Can I wear nail polish during the toenail fungal treatment?

During treatment, it's best to avoid nail polish to allow the nails to breathe and for better monitoring of the infection's progress. Nail polish can create a barrier that hinders the effectiveness of the treatment and makes it challenging to assess the condition of the nails. It's essential to keep the nails clean and dry to prevent the spread of the infection. Once the treatment is completed and the infection is cleared, you can resume wearing nail polish. This precaution ensures that the treatment is as effective as possible and helps to prevent the recurrence of the infection.

ClearSteps Laser Onychomycosis Treatment by Fotona is a revolutionary method for addressing toenail fungus, offering a comfortable and effective solution.

This innovative treatment utilizes the power of laser light to target and weaken or eliminate the parasitic fungi responsible for the infection.

Unlike traditional approaches, ClearSteps Laser Treatment does not require the use of oral medications, making it a convenient and non-invasive option for patients.

The laser's ability to deliver deep-profile heating allows it to penetrate the thickened nail and reach the nail bed, where the infection typically originates.

By targeting the fungus directly, the body's natural immune processes can then work to restore the nail to its healthy state over time.

This treatment has been proven to be both safe and effective, offering patients a solution to improve the appearance of thickened or discolored nails caused by fungal infection.
