What causes Fungal Nails?
Fungal nails (also called onychomychosis) are when the nail contracts a fungal infection. There are many causes of fungal nails and they are a relatively common issue, especially for people living in hot and humid climates like south-east Queensland. Fungal nails spread easily, and can be contracted in public areas such as swimming pools and showers.
What treatment options are there for fungal nails?
At Moving Forward Podiatry & Orthotics, we can successfully treat even the most chronic, longstanding fungal nail infection with Laser Therapy. Fungal nail laser therapy is more effective than topically applied over-the-counter creams, as the laser uses heat to kill the entire fungal area including it’s spores.
How much will it cost?
Fungal nail laser therapy usually requires a course of 4-6 laser therapy sessions. Head to our Podiatry Pricing page to see our Fungal Nail Laser Therapy fees.
