Why the Arc Laser for Toenail Fungus Removal Treatment

With most technology-based equipment time affords remarkable increases in size and power. This is especially true of computers and other electronic devices. Today smart phones have more computing power than a laptop computer from just a few years ago.  All in much more compact design.

Laser technology has also had similar advancements and improvements. The A.R.C. Laser is one of the newest medical lasers on the market which can be used to remove toenail fungus. The A.R.C. Laser is significantly smaller, lighter and more compact than many of the previously introduced medical lasers. The laser fits in a briefcase and only weighs 4 pounds.

The small size and portability of this laser makes it possible for us to bring the laser to the homes of patients all over the San Francisco Bay area in order to perform laser toenail fungus removal treatments at home.

The Pinpointe laser for example is so much larger and heavier that it would be virtually impossible for our podiatrist to bring the Pinpointe laser into your home or office to perform your laser toenail fungus treatment. 

Toenail fungus can be an embarrassing condition. Although it is extremely common, many people do not feel comfortable exposing their yellow cracking toenails in public. For this reason house calls to treat toenail fungus can help to alleviate this anxiety and discomfort. 

Dr. Christopher Segler is Board Certified, American Board of Podiatric Medicine.  He makes podiatry house calls to perform laser treatment to treat toenail fungus in San Francisco, Mill Valley, San Rafael, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose and Palo Alto. If you have toenail fungus and wonder if laser treatment at home can help remove the toenail fungus so you can develop clear toenails again, you can call and speak directly to our podiatrist to ask questions. Call 415-308-0833 to reach Dr. Segler directly.

Can I apply fake toenails after laser fungus removal?

10/20/2013

Yes!  When you have the laser toenail fungus removal procedure the fungus is dead. But the actually appearance of the toenail is no different at the conclusion of the laser treatment. 

You have to wait for the healthy non-deformed toenail to grow out.  This will take several months. 

If you have been using fake nails to cover the ugly, yellow, and white fungal toenail, you can go back to the nail salon to reapply the artificial nails. Eventually you may not need the artificial nails any longer if your toenails clear after the laser treatment.

How Does Laser Toenail Fungus Removal Work?

8/22/2013

A normal toenail is clear and healthy. It is smooth and uniform in color. But the toenail changes when it gets infected with fungus. All it takes is for your toenail to bump up against the inside of the shoe and get some of the fungal spores up under the toenail where they start to grow.  The growing fungus separates the layers of the keratin within the toenail making the toenail thicker. This causes the ugly discoloration that you see.

During the laser toenail fungus removal treatment, the doctor moves the laser in a grid pattern over the surface of the toenail to make sure that the laser kills ALL of the fungus infecting the toenail. All you will see during the procedure is an aiming light that tells the doctor where the laser is penetrating the toenail. But the laser is actually going all the way through the toenail to destroy the fungus.

In this video you can see the aiming light passing over the surface of the nail while the doctor is treating the toenail to remove the fungus during an actual treatment. The only thing you feel during the procedure is a little bit of heat that is generated by the laser light energy. 

Although the laser completely kills the fungus, the appearance of the toenail does not actually change at all during the laser procedure. Even though the fungus is dead, you have to wait for the toenail to grow out and become clear again. As the toenail grows you will trim off the thick discolored unhealthy toenail that was damaged by the toenail fungus and your nails gradually become clear.

If you have a toenail that you think might be infected with fungus you can call our doctor or even send a picture of the toenail to us so that we can discuss whether or not laser treatment might help you have clear toenails again. 

Dr. Christopher Segler is Board Certified, American Board of Podiatric Medicine. He can actually bring the laser out to your home or office to perform the laser fungus removal treatment in the morning before you leave for  work, during the day, in the evenings or on weekends. Call him directly to schedule your laser treatment at 415-308-0833. We perform podiatry house calls in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, San Mateo and Mill Valley.
