What is Nail Fungus?
Onychomycosis or nail fungus is a common condition that typically appears as a yellow or white spot underneath the tip of a fingernail or toenail.
In absence of timely treatment, the fungal infection can spread deep into the nail, creating conspicuous aesthetic concerns. Topical or oral anti-fungal medications may only provide temporary relief, and the nail fungus may recur.
Laser treatment at a qualified med spa can offer an advanced way to get rid of nail fungus with minimal risk of recurrence. The procedure is safe and effective with long-term results. However, to ensure success, the laser treatment should only be performed by an expert laser technician under the supervision of an experienced physician.
