Treatment Options
Aside from conventional treatment for fungal toenails, we provide laser therapy using the PinpointeTM System. This Nd:YAG, 1064-nm laser is the first FDA cleared laser to treat onychomycosis.
Laser therapy is a safe, effective method of clearing a fungal infection from the toenail and toenail bed. To determine if laser is the best treatment for you, book a consult with Dr. Thompson. At this visit you can ask questions and determine the best treatment plan for you.
Keryflex is another fantastic option for people with unsightly toenails. Keryflex is a sterile resin that can rebuild and replace damaged toenails in minutes. Patients walk out of the office with thin clear toenails that they feel comfortable showing off.
