Nail Fungus At SpaGo MedSpa
Toenail Fungus/Onychomycosis
Toenail fungus is very common and often challenging to treat, requiring the prolonged use oral anti-fungals. At SpaGo MedSpa, Dr. Mascia uses the Aerolase Elite YAG Laser to kill the fungus that causes onychomycosis. Results are appreciated anywhere from 3-12 months when the new, non-infected nail grows.
We recommended that patients follow this preventive care regiment to avoid reinfection:
- Apply an antifungal cream for 2 weeks following the procedure;
- Always spray inside the shoes at the end of the day with an antifungal spray and avoid wearing the shoes for 2 days or use Steri-Shoe ultraviolet shoe sanitizers;
- After 2 weeks, spray the feet or fingers with anti-fungal spray on an ongoing basis;
- Change the sheets the 1st night after each treatment;
- Cleanse the floor of the shower before next use with a cleanser that includes bleach;
- Cleanse all nail instruments with bleach before using them again;
- Throw out any nail polish previously used on the nails;
- Exercise caution in public areas like hotel rooms and public showers.
