Dr. Donald Stran of Friendswood and Lake Jackson, TX discusses Laser Therapy for Fungal Toenails.

 

 

 Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. Permanent nail removal is another possible form of treatment for fungal nails.

After a fungal nail infection has cleared up, you can take steps to prevent the infection from coming back.

Keeping the fungus under control will help prevent a fungal infection of the skin from reinfecting the nail. Before bed, thoroughly wash and dry your feet, and apply a non-prescription anti-fungal 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.

 Laser Treatments for Nail Fungus

Do you have discolored thick toenails? Are you embarrassed to show your nails in public? If so, then we can help.

As one of the first practices in the country to use laser therapy to treat fungal discolored nails, we are at the forefront of laser nail care, successfully treating Onychomycosis painlessly with this new technology.

Before the advent of laser treatment, the only products available to treat this condition were strong medications that can cause liver damage and largely ineffective liquids and creams that are time consuming to apply. The laser procedure is a quick, easy, safe and highly effective procedure that treats the fungus at the source. We welcome you to stop by for a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate for nail fungus treatment.  You too, can have clear nails in a ZAP!

 Nail Fungus Laser Treatment

Nail fungus is difficult to eradicate because the fungus grosws under the nail plate in the nail bed. Topical medications have a very low success rate in treating this condition. Oral drug therapy is effective in about 65-70 percent of patients. However, there are potential side effects from the medication, including liver toxicity. Laser therapy is safe and effective.

Do your toenails appear yellow, brittle or thickened?

Then perhaps you suffer from a toenail infection, a condition that will continue to worsen over time if measures are not taken to stop the infection. Pain in your toenails might be an end result. Toenail infections can be caused by heavy foot perspiration, poor shoe/sock ventilation or walking barefoot in damp areas such as a gym or locker room. Until now, the only solutions for unsightly toenail infections were to surgically remove the nail and apply topical treatments, which have a known poor success rate; or more recently, prescription medications, which have many potentially dangerous side effects and require blood tests.

Lasers are the latest treatment for your ugly unsightly toenail infections.

The Q-Clear^TM laser treatment can effectively and efficiently rid you of ugly unsightly toenail infections in as little as one treatment, depending on the severity of the condition. The mid-infrared laser wavelength penetrates the nail and the nail bed, eliminating the destructive nasty infection thus allowing your own body to revitalize your own nail naturally as it grows out clean clear and healthy.

Never a need for needles or local anesthetic with the Q-Clear painless laser procedure

Your toenails will be cleaned and filed prior to the laser treatment. As each toe is treated with the painless laser you might at most feel a mild, warming sensation, most people feel absolutely nothing.

The laser treatment will take under 10 minutes to treat both feet and there is usually no discomfort during or after the treatment. Your physician will discuss post-treatment care to avoid unsightly unwanted re-infections.

You will notice results within 2-4 months, depending on how quickly your toenails grow. New, clear growth begins to appear at the bottom portion of your nail as the diseased portion of the nail grows out.

You may return to your normal daily routine immediately after your toenail treatment, including painting your nails or pedicure treatments. Go enjoy the outdoors, play sports, exercise or just enjoy yourself. It's time you can finally relax and not be self conscious.

FAQs

Why choose the Q-Clear laser treatment to treat your ugly unsightly toenail infections?

Q-Clear is an effective, quick treatment that provides results. Light Age, the manufacturer of the Q-Clear laser, is a pioneer in the laser industry with numerous years of experience in the aesthetic and surgical medical device industry. Light Age is also a leader in government research with laser stationed at the south pole for early radiation detection to protect all of us.

How does the Q-Clear Laser Work?

The Q-Clear produces 1064 /532nm laser light energy that is specifically absorbed by water and water associated with collagen as well as being focused on the color red. Collagen is a major component in the tissues of the nail and nail growth area as well as the skin. The laser is so sophisticated that it can detect and reach the proper target temperature leading to elimination of the toenail infection The treatment then stops immediately without any pain or discomfort. The Q-Clear is an industry-leading laser that was developed for skin treatment. This is a perfect fit for ugly unsightly toenail infections since the nail is simply modified skin.

Is the Treatment Painful? Is it Safe?

The Q-Clear laser provides a comfortable safe controlled treatment beyond most lasers by having little to NO THERMAL effect (heat) on the skin, nail, and nail bed. The Q-Clear provides one of the safest most effective treatments in the laser industry. The Q-Clear has a long track record of safety since the company has been around for numerous years as well as being a leader in government research.

Will the Treatment Hurt?

No, you should have no pain or discomfort during the treatment. However, some people feel a warm tingling sensation. The Q-Clear laser has the ability to adjust to all clinical situations and produces little to NO THERMAL effects (heat).

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

The treatment takes just under ten minutes. One short session with a 30 day review to ensure the nail is properly responding yields the best outcomes with this procedure.

Will this Treatment be Covered by Insurance?

Laser treatment of nail and skin conditions is considered an aesthetic, cosmetic procedure by all insurance companies with coverage denied.

How Soon Will I See Improvement?

On average, a toenail will replace itself every 9-12 months. Healthy new growth will be visible within the first 2 months as your nails continue to grow following the laser treatment.

Does It Really Work?

Yes. Lasers for ugly unsightly toenail infections have a two plus year track record that is very impressive. Patients are pleased, happy and no longer embarrassed by their ugly unsightly toenail infections. Patients have stated they are now wearing sandals which they have not worn for many years because of their ugly unsightly toes.

Podiatrist Kansas City, Lee's Summit, MO and Overland Park, KS

Dr. Mark Green of Kansas City Foot and Ankle discusses Laser Treatment for Fungal Toenails.

 http://www.kansascityfootandankle.com

 Imagine how great it will be to wear sandals again!

Kansas City Foot and Ankle regularly sees patients with the condition known as Onychomycosis or fungal toenails.  Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that lives on the bed of the toenail and between the layers of the nail.  This infection can be difficult to get rid of.  Up to 13% of people in the U.S. suffer from fungal toenails.

 

Laser Treatment 

Kansas City Foot and Ankle features the Q-Clear Laser Treatment.  This very effective, 10 MINUTE  laser treatment kills the fungus without the hassle of topical medications and the potential side effects of the pills.  You will be able to resume your normal activities right away. 

·        The laser treatment is:

• A Quick In-Office Procedure
• Painless

·        Safe & Effective

 

Why Q-Clear?  The Q-Clear laser is a mid-infrared laser wavelength that penetrates the nail, eliminating the destructive infections and revitalizing your nail as it grows out.  Like several other lasers used in podiatry, it is FDA cleared for treatment of fungal toenails.  But while other lasers create a thermal effect, the Q-Clear creates short, but extremely powerful pulses of laser energy, so it’s mechanism of action is actually through a mechanical or “shockwave” effect, with very little heating. It destroys the fungus without heating up the tissue.  So there is very little potential for discomfort or burning of the tissue with the Q-Clear, as compared to other lasers.

 

Kansas City Foot and Ankle also offers more traditional treatment options for fungal toenails:

 

Topical treatments require the patient to apply medication to the infected toenails once or twice daily for up to a year.  The success rate in killing the fungus with topical medication is only between 15-30%.

 

Oral medications have a higher success rate, but also have potential side effects.  The medication can affect your liver and can alter your sense of taste.   Pregnant women or people with liver issues should not take the oral medications.

If you wear nail polish, Dr. Green recommends Dr.’s REMEDY Nail Polish to fight fungus.  Regular nail polish actually promotes fungal growth.  It acts as a barrier, creating a dark, moist environment beneath the nail; a perfect setup for fungus.  If you’re going to wear nail polish, make sure it’s Dr’s REMEDY anti-fungal nail polish.

Laser Treatment for Arthritis Foot Pain - Podiatrist in Somerset and North Brunswick, NJ - Harvey Jacobs DPM 

Patient of Dr. Harvey Jacobs discusses Laser Treatment for Arthritis Foot Pain.

Arthritis is an inflammation and swelling of the cartilage and lining of the joints, generally accompanied by an increase in the fluid in the joints. Arthritis is a disabling and occasionally crippling disease afflicting almost 40 million Americans. In some forms, it appears to be hereditary. Although the prevalence of arthritis increases with age, all people from infancy to middle age are potential victims. People over 50 are the primary targets.

If the feet seem more susceptible to arthritis than other parts of the body, it is because each foot has 33 joints that can be afflicted, and there is no way to avoid the pain of the tremendous weight-bearing load on the feet. Arthritic feet can result in loss of mobility and independence. However, early diagnosis and proper medical care can limit or slow the damage.

Symptoms of arthritis in the foot and ankle include:

• Early morning stiffness.
• Limitation in motion of joint.
• Recurring pain or tenderness in any joint.
• Redness or heat in a joint.
• Skin changes, including rashes and growths.
• Swelling in one or more joints.

 Toenail Fungus

 Many people don't realize they have a fungal nail problem and, therefore, don't seek treatment. Yet, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem and can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail's color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems.

Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are infections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately can lead to difficulty and pain when walking or running. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail.

A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail's protein substance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks may frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails.

Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete's Foot or excessive perspiration.

You can prevent fungal nail infections by taking these simple precautions:

• Exercise proper hygiene and regularly inspect your feet and toes.
• Keep your feet clean and dry.
• Wear shower shoes in public facilities whenever possible.
• Clip nails straight across so that the nail does not extend beyond the tip of the toe.
• Use a quality foot powder (talcum, not cornstarch) in conjunction with shoes that fit well and are made of materials that breathe.
• Avoid wearing excessively tight hosiery, which promotes moisture. Socks made of synthetic fiber tend to "wick" away moisture faster than cotton or wool socks, especially for those with more active lifestyles.
• Disinfect home pedicure tools and don't apply polish to nails suspected of infection.

Depending on the type of infection you have, over-the-counter liquid antifungal agents may not prevent a fungal infection from recurring. A topical or oral medication may need to be prescribed, and the diseased nail matter and debris removed, a process called debridement. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.

In severe cases, surgical treatment may be required to remove the infected nail. Permanent removal of a chronically painful nail, which has not responded to any other treatment, permits the fungal infection to be cured and prevents the return of a deformed nail.

 Plantar Fasciitis

Is a very common problem involving the bottom surface of the heel and the long arch. Pain usually begins as a dull ache and may progress to a sharp persistent ache. Often it is worse in the morning when a person rises out of bed or upon standing after sitting. The plantar fascia is a ligament that helps to form the medial longitudinal arch and it becomes inflamed due to abnormal or excessive stress created during heel strike when walking, running or standing. Swelling occurs deep inside the heel which causes pressure on the nerves in the region causing minor to severe pain while weight bearing.

There are many reasons that cause a person to develop plantar fasciitis including: aging; excessive body weight; flat feet; high arches; poor quality or worn out shoes. A biomechanical examination is important to determine the cause of this condition so that proper treatment can occur to resolve this debilitating problems.

http://www.no1footcare.com

 Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.

 Dr. Eric Trattner discusses the laser Therapy for Ingrown Toenails and Warts.

http://www.clevelandfootdoctor.com

Warts
Warts are skin growths that are caused by a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. Plantar warts (verrucae plantaris) occur on the bottom of the feet while common warts (verrucae vulgaris) occur on the arms, legs, face and other areas of the body. They may appear as solitary lesions or in clusters called mosaic warts. Warts are contagious and can be spread by casual contact.  There are many different treatments for warts including; shaving, freezing, applying topical preparations and laser removal. Your podiatrist will recommend the best treatment based on the location and number of warts present.

 Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can be extremely painful. Usually they are a result of improper trimming of the toenails. However, there are various other factors that can cause them such as; trauma, fungus, ill-fitting shoes and hereditary factors. The most effective treatment is permanent correction by removing the edge of the toenail and the root in order to stop the in-growing portion from returning.

http://www.footcarecenter.com

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 antifungalantifungal 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.

Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. Permanent nail removal is another possible form of treatment for fungal nails.

After a fungal nail infection has cleared up, you can take steps to prevent the infection from coming back.

Keeping the fungus under control will help prevent a fungal infection of the skin from reinfecting the nail. Before bed, thoroughly wash and dry your feet, and apply a non-prescription anti-fungal 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 tips:

• 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 you more than likely can head off most common foot fungus problems.

Many people don't realize they have a fungal nail problem and, therefore, don't seek treatment. Yet, fungal toenail infections are a common foot health problem and can persist for years without ever causing pain. The disease, characterized by a change in a toenail's color, is often considered nothing more than a mere blemish. Left untreated, however, it can present serious problems.

Also referred to as onychomycosis, fungal nails are infections underneath the surface of the nail, which may also penetrate the nail. Fungal nail infections are often accompanied by a secondary bacterial and/or yeast infection in or about the nail plate, which ultimately can lead to difficulty and pain when walking or running. Symptoms may include discoloration, brittleness, loosening, thickening, or crumbling of the nail.

A group of fungi, called dermophytes, easily attack the nail and thrive on keratin, the nail's protein substance. In some cases, when these tiny organisms take hold, the nail may become thicker, yellowish-brown, or darker in color, and foul smelling. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails.

Nail bed injury may make the nail more susceptible to all types of infection, including fungal infection. Those who suffer chronic diseases, such as diabetes, circulatory problems, or immune-deficiency conditions, are especially prone to fungal nails. Other contributory factors may be a history of Athlete's Foot or excessive perspiration.
