Enter Laser Therapy.

Laser therapy has emerged as a breakthrough treatment for onychomycosis, offering an effective and non-invasive alternative to traditional methods. This innovative approach utilizes the power of laser technology to target and eliminate the fungus that causes the infection.

During laser treatment, a focused beam of light is directed onto the infected nail, penetrating the nail bed without causing harm to the surrounding healthy tissue. The laser energy works by selectively heating the fungi, disrupting their cellular structure, and destroying their ability to survive and reproduce. The procedure is typically painless and does not require any anesthesia. We are proud to offer the best laser treatment for fungal toenails in Bethesda, Maryland.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

‍
1) High Success Rate: Laser therapy has shown significant success rates in treating onychomycosis, with many patients experiencing improvement in nail appearance and reduced symptoms. Studies have indicated success rates ranging from 70% to 90%.

2) Non-Invasive and Safe: Unlike surgical interventions, laser therapy is non-invasive and does not involve any cutting or removal of the nail. It is a safe procedure with minimal risk of complications when performed by a trained professional.

3) Quick and Convenient: Laser treatments for onychomycosis are relatively quick, typically taking between 10 and 30 minutes per session. There is no downtime required, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

4) Minimal Side Effects: Laser therapy for onychomycosis is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects reported. Some individuals may experience temporary warmth or slight discomfort during the procedure, but these sensations are generally mild and subside quickly. Also, laser therapy does not carry the same side effects that come with oral antifungal therapies.

5) Targeted and Precise: Laser technology allows for precise targeting of the infected area, ensuring that the energy is focused on eliminating the fungus while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.
