Typical Treatment of toe nail fungus compared to the Laser
Many types of treatment have been tried to eliminate toe nail fungus. Most have failed and the cure rate is less than 5%, with most over the counter agents. Many have tried home remedies such as vinegar or bleach or other substances, none of which help the condition at all. The one oral medication that has been used has done irreversible damage to the livers of some patients and will not used by our group. The laser treatment we employ at California Foot and Ankle Associates has an over 80% cure rate and is the treatment of choice for the eradication of onychomycosis with no downside reported.
Laser Treatment Procedure
At the California Foot and Ankle Associates we utilize the Pinpointe Laser treatment known as Nailase. It is virtually painless and is accomplished in 30 to 45 minutes. You can leave the treatment and there are no restrictions on your activity, including the ladies can paint their nails right away.

This Laser device has been used for the past 5 years and the success ratio is increasing.
