What To Expect
Your toenails will be cleaned and filed prior to the laser treatment. As each toe
is treated with the laser you will feel a mild, warming sensation immediately followed
by a burst of cooling cryogen spray. The laser treatment will take about 20 minutes
to treat both feet and there is usually no discomfort after the treatment. The physician
will discuss post-treatment care to avoid fungal re-infection.
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.
