Fungal Toenail Laser Treatment

Safe and Effective Laser Therapy for Fungal Nails

Non-Invasive

University Foot Associates offers laser therapy for fungal nail treatment. The laser therapy system emits short pulses of light that heat the nail and surrounding tissue. This heat is then absorbed by the fungus, causing it to break down and die. The procedure does not require any incisions, injections, or oral medications, making it a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatment methods. Eliminating the need for anesthetics minimizes the risk of complications and the appointment length. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Quick Procedure

The laser treatment for fungal nails typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes, with multiple treatments typically required for optimal results. Since patients don’t need to undergo any surgery prep or anesthetics it is a quick in-office procedure. Our team of podiatrists are experienced in administering the laser therapy system and can provide great results safely in a short time.

Risks and Side Effects

Before proceeding with laser therapy, it is essential to book an initial consultation with your podiatrist for an overall foot health assessment and to understand the extent of the fungal infection. Although laser therapy is generally a safe and effective way of treating fungal nails and plantar warts, there are some risks and side effects associated with the procedure. It is important to discuss any potential risks or side effects with your podiatrist before undergoing the treatment, especially for individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking specific medications. Your podiatrist will carefully evaluate your medical history and provide personalized advice regarding the suitability of laser therapy for your case.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm am nervous to have anything done to my feet because I have had such poor experiences in the past through other podiatrists.  Dr. Nasser allayed my fears and was kind and patient and helped me relax.  I've found a podiatrist I trust and will continue to see him for all my foot issues in the future. His staff is amazing - kind, calming, and funny. My only disappointment is that he can’t treat me for all of my ailments now and in the future. Keep it up, gang. You’re amazing!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Larry Short has been my doctor for more than 15 years. He and his staff are all so very kind and take a personal interest in my well being. Over the years, I have had many foot problems and Dr. Short has given me the best of care each and every time. Currently I am pain free but I accompanied my husband this morning for his exam with Dr. Short for the simple reason that I wanted to see Dr. Short. He is an excellent, experienced podiatrist - I highly recommend Dr. Short to anyone who is experiencing foot pain.
