How laser treatment from your podiatrists in San Leandro, California, can get rid of your toenail fungus

If you have toenail fungus, you already know how nasty it can be. It’s embarrassing and annoying, but the good news is, a procedure from your podiatrist can get rid of toenail fungus for good—it’s called laser treatment! Drs. Michael A. Stein and Zeineldin Ahmad at Foot Doctor of the East Bay in San Leandro, CA, offer laser toenail fungus treatment that can help your toenails become healthy again.

More about the treatment

Toenail fungus starts out as a tiny white or yellow spot underneath your nail. The spot grows as the fungus burrows deeper underneath your toenail. The fungus makes your toenail thicken, grow dark, and eventually, start to crumble. You may not want to go barefoot or wear open shoes or sandals because of your toenails.

You may have been exposed to the fungus from warm, moist places like public pools, locker rooms, or showers. Remember, it’s important to always wear sandals or flip-flops into public areas to avoid contact with fungus. Also, don’t share your personal items including socks, shoes, or towels with others if you have toenail fungus, as it can spread.

So, now for the good news! The podiatrists at Foot Doctor of the East Bay use the GenesisPlus Cutera laser to treat toenail fungus in a procedure that has a long history of safety and effectiveness. During treatment, the heat and light from the laser kills the fungus underneath your toenail so that a new, healthy toenail can grow in its place.

Laser treatment is pain-free and each session takes about 30 minutes. There are no side-effects and no downtime. The number of treatments you will need depends on the severity of your case, so it’s best to seek out treatment early.
