 Welcome to the Fungus Nail Laser Centers. 

 

 We created the Nail Laser Centers specifically to deal with the treatment of an old problem with new and exciting technology.  We are podiatrists, foot specialists, and have been treating nail fungus for well over 25 years. In the past we have been as frustrated as you with the limited and unsuccessful treatment options available to deal with this difficult problem. Lasers are very new in treating nail fungus and we have been searching for well over a year to find the right laser. We believe we have now found the most sophisticated laser on the market with the power and versatility to offer our patients a new option in the treatment of nail fungus.

The Problem


Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is an infection of the nail and skin beneath the nail that affects nearly 23 million people in the US-about 10% of all adults.  It is a difficult infection to treat. To date treatments included topical medications which don't work because it is nearly impossible for the medication to penetrate the nail in order for it to reach the infection. Oral medications are available, however they also have limited success (60-70%), must be taken for at least 3 months, and have the potential to cause serious side effects i.e. liver complications and drug interactions. Additionally oral medications only treat a limited number of the over 200 fungi that can cause this infection. The newest treatment available uses laser technology to actually kill the fungus at the source of the infection.


The Solution


There is no perfect treatment for nail fungus, however the latest studies using lasers have shown a success rate of 80-90%. Using one of the most advanced lasers available, near infrared laser light passes through the nail killing the fungus while leaving the nail and surrounding soft tissue unharmed.


Unlike oral medications, the Nail Laser has the unique ability to attack the more than 200 fungi that can be responsible for causing this infection.  The laser we are currently using in our laser centers gives us an advantage over other lasers in that we have the option to change numerous settings on the laser to provide you the best treatment outcome.  All our patients are evaluated and treated by licensed physicians. Unlike other single laser treatments, we offer a TWO treatment protocol spaced four months apart to achieve the best outcome.


If you want the newest solution to an old problem, choose the latest, most sophisticated treatment, choose the Nail Laser.

  Fungal nails refers to any number of fungal nail infections that can occur on the foot. Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's Foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. Note: Please consult a physician before taking any medications. Permanent nail removal is another possible form of treatment for tenacious fungal nails.

Preventing Fungal Nail Infections

After a fungal nail infection has cleared up, take steps to prevent the infection from recurring. Keeping fungi at bay will help prevent a fungal infection of the skin from reinfecting the nail. Before bed, thoroughly wash and dry your feet, and apply a nonprescription antifungal cream to the entire foot from the ankle down. Use the cream every night, then gradually apply it less often. Keep your feet dry. Dry feet are less likely to become infected. Apply powder to your dry feet after you take a shower or bath.

Other suggestions for preventing fungal nails include:

  • Don't share nail clippers or nail files with others.
  • Don't share shoes or socks with others.
  • Try not to injure your nail, such as by cutting it too short (trauma to the nail may lead to infections).
  • Wear dry cotton socks and change them two or three times a day if necessary.
  • Wear dry shoes that allow air to circulate around your feet (tight, enclosed, moist shoes contribute to fungal toenail infections).
  • Wear shower sandals or shower shoes when you are at a public pool or shower.

Prevention

Follow basic foot care guidelines and, more than likely, you can head off most common foot fungus problems.

Ingrown Toenails - Dallas Podiatrist

 

Dr. Lyle Haskell discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for ingrown toenails.

HaskellIngrownToenails.wmv Watch on Posterous


http://www.myfootdoctors.com

Ingrown toenails, also known as onychocryptosis, is usually caused by trimming toenails too short, particularly on the sides of the big toes. They may also be caused by shoe pressure (from shoes that are too tight or short), injury, fungus infection, heredity, or poor foot structure. Ingrown toenails occur when the corners or sides of the toenail dig into the skin, often causing infection. A common ailment, ingrown toenails can be painful. Ingrown toenails start out hard, swollen, and tender. Left untreated, they may become sore, red, and infected and the skin may start to grow over the ingrown toenail.

In most cases, treating ingrown toenails is simple: soak the foot in warm, soapy water several times each day. Avoid wearing tight shoes or socks. Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed if an infection is present. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In severe cases, if an acute infection occurs, surgical removal of part of the ingrown toenail may be needed. Known as partial nail plate avulsion, the procedure involves injecting the toe with an anesthetic and cutting out the ingrown part of the toenail.

Ingrown toenails can be prevented by:

•Trimming toenails straight across with no rounded corners.
•Ensuring that shoes and socks are not too tight.
•Keeping feet clean at all times.
