Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, is a common but stubborn infection that affects the nails, causing them to become thick, brittle, and discolored. Left untreated, it can spread to other nails and even cause pain when walking or wearing shoes. Over-the-counter treatments often fail because the infection lives deep under the nail. At our practice, we offer advanced, minimally invasive solutions — including regenerative and laser therapies — to effectively clear toenail fungus and restore healthy nails.
No. Toenail fungus typically does not resolve without treatment and can worsen over time.
Advanced options such as laser therapy combined with regenerative and antifungal treatments are the most effective for stubborn infections.
Toenails grow slowly, so while the infection can be treated quickly, it may take several months for a clear, healthy nail to grow out.
Yes. It can spread to other nails, skin (causing athlete’s foot), and even to family members through shared floors, socks, or shoes.
Most advanced treatments, including laser therapy, are painless or cause only mild warmth during the procedure.
Keep feet clean and dry, wear breathable shoes, change socks daily, and avoid walking barefoot in communal areas. Preventive care after treatment is key to long-term success.
