Step-by-Step Guide to Our Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment

Step 1: Consultation and Diagnosis

Your journey to healthier nails begins with a consultation at Walk Without Pain Podiatry Clinics. During your initial visit, our podiatrist in Brisbane will conduct a thorough examination of your toenails to confirm the presence and extent of the fungal infection. This may include a physical inspection and, in some cases, additional tests to identify the specific fungus involved.

Step 2: Preparation

Once diagnosed, the next step is preparing your toenails for the laser treatment. This includes cleaning the affected area to remove any debris and trimming your nails to ensure the laser can effectively reach the fungal spores. The podiatrist will also discuss the treatment plan and answer any questions you may have.

Step 3: Laser Treatment

The actual laser treatment is a swift and straightforward procedure. You will be comfortably seated, and the podiatrist will use a handheld laser device to target your infected nails. The laser emits light energy that penetrates the nail and nail bed, specifically targeting and destroying the fungal pathogens without damaging the surrounding tissues.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Care

After the laser treatment, your podiatrist will guide you on essential post-treatment care. This includes maintaining proper foot hygiene, using antifungal products, and adopting habits to prevent fungus recurrence. There is no downtime required, so you can resume your regular activities immediately after the session.

Step 5: Follow-Up

To ensure optimal results and monitor the progress, follow-up appointments will be scheduled. Your podiatrist will assess the healing process and may recommend additional treatments if necessary. Typically, patients require 1-3 sessions, based on the infection’s severity.

Post-Treatment Fungal Nail Infection Prevention

Keeping your nails healthy after treatment is essential. Our advice is:

Keep those feet clean and dry.
Change your socks every day and wear shoes that let your feet breathe.
Use antifungal sprays or powders as a deterrent.
Wearing footwear in public areas such as gyms and swimming pools is a must.

How long does fungal toenail laser treatment take to work ?

Whilst the fungi are killed very efficiently at the time of the procedure, the damaged nail cannot repair itself. New nail will need to grow up from the base and push the damaged nail out, This is then trimmed off as it grows. This means that the nail will not be cosmetically different immediately after the treatment, but will clear as it grows.

FAQs About Laser Fungal Nail Treatment

What's causing my toenail fungus?

Fungal organisms, which love warm and wet environments, are the culprits. They’re often found in public gyms, pools, and showers.

Does the laser treatment hurt?

Not at all. The treatment is pretty much painless. You might feel a mild warmth, but nothing disquieting.

When am I going to see some improvements?

The fungus is treated instantly, but the nail’s appearance will improve as it grows out, usually over several months.

Will the laser treatment get rid of the fungus forever?

The treatment wipes out the fungus, but without appropriate preventive measures, reinfection can occur.

Are there any side effects?

The treatment is safe and carries minimal risk of side effects. Most patients don’t experience any discomfort.

How many treatment rounds will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the infection’s severity. Usually, 1-3 treatments are enough.

Is the treatment covered by Medicare or private insurance in Australia?

Laser treatment for fungal nail infections isn’t typically covered by Medicare but might be partially covered by some private health insurance plans. It’s best to check with your insurer for specific details.

What should I ask my insurance provider regarding the coverage?

Confirm if your plan covers podiatry services and specifically, laser treatments for toenail fungus. Enquire about any necessary referrals or pre-approvals and the extent of the cover.
