If your nails are warped, seemingly crumbling to pieces, and discolored, a fungus is probably the culprit. And when panic sets in, you may want to visit the drugstore to find a remedy or ignore it completely, hoping it just goes away. But those methods can be ineffective or potentially harmful. Today, Dr. Mucinskas at Feet First Foot Care Specialists is sharing a treatment option that can eliminate toenail fungus quickly and effectively.

Fungus is one of the most common foot problems in our office. It develops any time your nails encounter fungi. You’re particularly at risk if you have a crack or cut in your skin.

You can pick up fungus almost anywhere, but walking barefoot through a damp public area and coming in contact with someone who has fungus is one of the most common ways you can become infected. When the fungi take root, they expand under your nail plate, resulting in discoloration and other embarrassing and frustrating symptoms.

If you notice a fungus, don’t go to your medicine cabinet – come to our office for PinPointe™ FootLaser® Therapy!

This clinically proven treatment option utilizes laser energy to counteract the fungus. The laser directly targets the fungus lurking below and passes painlessly through your nail plate.

The best part of the procedure is that it is quick and practically pain-free. Most patients are out of our office within 30 minutes. And besides a mild pinprick or a gentle warming feeling, they don’t feel anything during the treatment.

In many cases, a single treatment can heal fungal nails, but in some cases, we recommend several treatments for the best results. Over several months, the fungus fades, leaving behind a healthy nail.

Other Treatment Options

While PinPointe™ FootLaser® Therapy is one of our most popular options, it isn’t the only treatment we offer for fungal nails. Contingent to your needs, we may also recommend other options.

Remember that without prompt treatment from a specialist, toenail fungus can worsen and may even hinder your ability to walk normally. We offer the most innovative and effective treatments, including PinPointe™ FootLaser® Therapy, to help you combat fungus.

If you’re ready to take your first step toward getting rid of embarrassing toenail fungus, Dr. Mucinskas and his team at Feet First Foot Care Specialists would love to talk with you. Schedule a visit today by calling our office at 860-632-5499 or by clicking here to make your appointment online.
