Help for Fungal Toenails with Laser Therapy- Toronto Podiatrist<br />Sheldon Nadal Doctor of Podiatric Medicine discusses laser therapy for Fungal Toenails<br />http://www.footcare.net<br />On August 26 2010 our Toronto podiatry office introduced in Canada, laser treatment for toenail fungus or onychomycosis using a 1320 nm YAG laser .<br />A preliminary study performed in Roseville California indicates that up to 75-80% of patients with mild to moderate onychomycosis or fungal toenails will experience a significant improvement following treatment.<br />The laser is an alternative to topical medications such as Pen Lac, which has limited efficacy, and anti-fungal pills such as Lamisil or Terbinifine, which have associated side effects.<br />With our laser, there is usually very little discomfort, anaesthetic is unnecessary and you may walk and resume normal activities immediately.
