It is suitable for most patients, provided they are in good overall health and free from conditions that may interfere with healing.

How many laser treatments are necessary for nail fungus?

While significant results can be seen after only one treatment, most patients will need 3 – 4 treatments before we can be sure that the fungus has been completely eradicated. Each of these treatments will be scheduled 5 – 6 weeks apart in order to ensure all spores of fungi are removed.

Will my insurance cover laser nail fungus treatment?

This procedure is considered aesthetic so it will likely not be covered by your insurance. However, laser nail fungus treatment is extremely effective in ridding your nails of stubborn fungus. Contact Limitless Me Wellness in Jacksonville, FL today for details regarding cost and financing.

What causes fungus to grow under the nails?

Fungal organisms, or fungi, are at the root of the problem of fungal nail infections. When they are able to find a home under your fingernail or toenail, they begin to rapidly multiply and spread. Some other substances, including yeast and mold, can also cause infections under the nail.

What will happen if nail fungus is not properly treated?

The uninterrupted growth of a fungal nail infection will likely lead to difficulty walking, exercising, and even doing mundane tasks, such as typing. Additionally, the nails will begin to become more and more fragile as time goes on. For these reasons, it is important to begin to cure the nails through the use of laser nail fungus treatment at the earliest sign of a problem.
