Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus and Fingernail Fungus or Onychomycosis in Ottawa
We want you to look good from head to toe...
Onychomycosis is the medical term for a toenail fungus and fingernail fungus infection. It is a common but very resistant infection. It causes the nails to become brittle and yellow and to disfigure. In advanced stages it might cause pain. Women and men are embarrassed to wear sandals. For women those Jimmy Choo sandals remain elusive...
Topical nail fungus treatment is only 10% effective. Oral anti fungal pills are 50% effective and 3% of the time they have to be stopped because of changes in liver function.
The Pinpointe laser is approved by Health Canada for clearing of nails. Studies show that this laser for toenail fungus (and fingernail) is 70-80% effective. One treatment is standard although longstanding and severe infections may require two.
If you would like clear nails and do not want to take pills or mess with topical agents then laser nail treatment is an excellent alternative. We are the first clinic in Ottawa to provide a laser for nail fungus that is Health Canada approved. Call us. We will be pleased to hear from you.
