Nail Fungus Laser Treatment In Miami, FL

Nail fungus laser treatment is a non-surgical procedure that destroys fungi that cause nail infections with laser energy. Unlike traditional treatments, nail fungus laser treatment offered at Miami Feet does not require drugs or topical creams and has minimal side effects. During the treatment, our podiatrist uses a laser device that emits pulses of light energy, specifically designed to penetrate the nail plate and target the fungus without damaging the surrounding nail or skin. The laser’s intense energy disrupts the fungal cells’ vital functions, leading to their elimination. Opting for this treatment not only enhances the nails’ appearance but also alleviates the discomfort associated with the infection and halts its spread to adjacent nails. Embrace the path to healthier feet with our nail fungus laser treatment in Miami.

What is Nail Fungus Treatment?

Nail fungus treatment targets fungal infections in the nail bed, often leading to fungal nails characterized by discoloration and thickening. Nail fungus laser treatment offers a non-invasive, quick, and effective alternative compared to the traditional methods for treating fungal nails. It is an effective treatment that employs laser energy to directly target and eliminate the fungus beneath the nail without damaging the surrounding tissue.

Our treatment for fungal nails begins with cleaning and thinning affected nails, which boosts the laser’s effectiveness. This method is painless, fast, and requires no downtime, allowing immediate return to daily activities.

Common causes of Fungus Nail

Fungal nail infections, or onychomycosis, occur when fungi invade the nails and underlying nail bed. Several factors contribute to the development of these infections:

Dermatophytes

These fungi are the most common cause, thriving in warm, moist environments.

Nail injury

Cracks or damage can make nails more susceptible.

Yeast And Molds

Can infect nails, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.

Age

The risk increases with age, as older adults typically experience reduced blood circulation and weaker nails.

Moist Environments

Regular exposure to warm, damp areas increases infection risk.

Weak Immune System

Makes individuals more prone to infections.

Poor Hygiene

Not keeping feet clean and dry contributes to fungal growth.

Sharing Personal Belongings

Like footwear or nail trimmers, can transmit fungal infections.

Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

Achilles tendonitis

Laser Treatment Procedure for Nail Fungus

At Miami Feet, we utilize laser treatment to treat nail fungus infection. Our approach employs laser light to eradicate the fungi responsible for the infection, ensuring the nail and adjacent skin remain unharmed. Here is an overview of our laser nail treatment procedures:

Consultation and Assessment

The first step in the laser treatment procedure for nail fungus at Miami Feet involves a detailed consultation with our skilled podiatrist

During this initial consultation, he will examine the affected nails to assess the severity of the fungus. He might obtain a nail sample for laboratory analysis to verify the existence of a fungal infection.

Preparation

Before the procedure, you may be advised to trim and clean your nails. This helps the laser light penetrate the nail more effectively

Your nails and the surrounding area will be thoroughly sanitized and air-dried to mitigate potential infection.

The Laser Treatment

During the procedure, you will be asked to wear protective eyewear. Our expert foot doctor will then use a handheld laser to apply

concentrated light beams to your affected nails. This light heats up and destroys the fungi beneath the nail’s surface without harming the nail or surrounding skin.

The length of your laser fungus removal may differ based on the severity of the infection and the number of nails involved, but it typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. You will likely experience minimal pain during the procedure, though you might notice  a warming sensation or slight discomfort.

Our Happy Patients

Sprained Ankle

There are doctors who talk and those who help you walk again pain free. Doctor Curson is among the latter breed. I limped in with a sprained ankle approaching the size of a grapefruit and in pain. An hour later, I was walking normally having had X-rays, a shot, and a laser treatment. If you are in the Bal Harbour, Surfside or Bay Harbor area, don't bother with anyone else. The entire staff is efficient and dedicated. He followed up with me as well. Caroljean Kier

Planter Faciatis

Dr. Curson offers a full array of noninvasive treatments for Achilles strains and Planter Faciatis. After 3 months of care with another podiatrist I experienced pain without improvement. I went to Dr. Curson. The results have been excellent. The office staff is friendly, responsive, and competent.

Steve S.

Foot Pain

My experience with Dr. Curson and his staff was excellent. I've been dealing with foot pain for over 6 months and after implementing his treatments my pain has decreased significantly. He fitted me for custom made orthotics (shoe inserts) and after a week of wearing them the pain in my left foot is practically gone. As I wear them more I'm confident I will be able to take long walks again. Without hesitation I recommend Dr. Curson if you have foot issues or pain.

Laser treatment for ankle sprain

Amazing doctor and amazing staff, very friendly and they take the time to know your history and seek the best treatment possible for your specific case. I decided to give them my full confidence for a chronic ankle sprain that just wouldn't go away. The laser treatment was really helpful and they did a set of custom orthotics that are really much better than the off-the-shelf stuff and others I had made before.

Laser treatment for nail fungus

Amazing experience with Dr. Curson and his office staff. I had 2 issues, pain in my foot from stepping on an object that seemed to be lodged in there somewhere, AND, terrible nail fungus from years and years of cycling and running. Dr. Curson dislodged the object in my foot and treated the nail fungus with a special laser. After the first treatment it was more that 50% better, i can't wait for the 2nd one, I can feel the difference in my nails. Fantastic office and staff and doctor... go see him!
