Toe Fungus Treatment in Northridge & Oxnard CA

We’re excided to be able to offer our patients with fungal nail disease (onychomycosis) cutting-edge laser therapy. Onychomycosis is an infection of the nail and nail bed apparatus. Onychomycosis is a challenging infection to eliminate, even though it is fairly easy to acquire. Laser therapy with the Q-Clear laser is an innovative option for treating a common but difficult condition.

Fungi that cause onychomycosis are widespread and can be found anywhere on the planet. The most common cause of onychomycosis is a fungus called “Trichophyton rubrum”. Other fungi causing onychomycosis include: T. mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Fusarium solani. The fungus can enter the nail matrix through a crack or break in the nail.

The Q-Clear laser is an innovative treatment for onychmycosis that has been used by physicians in Europe since 2003. It uses longer wavelength light than traditional lasers and this allows it to break down the keratin protein in nails more effectively, making it a very effective treatment for patients with fungal nails as well as psoriasis of the nails (keratosis unciata). If you have fungal nails or chronic nail problems and would like to learn more about how this laser can help you please contact us to schedule your consultation today!
