Laser Treatment For Nail Fungus

Laser treatment for nail fungus is now available through Dr. Troy’s office for patients living in Vancouver, Delta, Surrey, White Rock and Richmond, BC. This new treatment option was cleared by Health Canada in February 2011, after having passed the organization’s thorough and rigorous testing procedures.

Dr. Troy became Canada’s first Pin Pointe Foot Laser Certified Provider of this technology because he has seen its incredible effectiveness in patients around the world. In fact, in over 70,000 cases laser treatment for nail fungus has shown to be up to 90% effective. This is a remarkable improvement over more traditional methods of treatment, including taking oral medications for 3-6 months or applying medicated topical creams.

A laser treatment for nail fungus takes Dr. Troy only 40 minutes to complete, during which he meticulously passes a finely tuned laser over each infected nail twice. With each pass he vaporizes nail fungus under the nail plate, beneath the leading edge and in the nail grooves. Post-procedure, patients can go directly back to their normal activities, as no recovery ever needed with a laser treatment for nail fungus.

All that is required is care given to avoid reinfection. This means applying a daily antifungal cream or spray (much in the way daily oral hygiene is performed), and it means avoiding places that may be toe nail fungus (swimming pools, showers, whirlpools, busy nail salons). It is also recommended by Dr. Troy that patients keep their nails clean and trimmed while new healthy nails grow out (typically within 12-18 months).

Call Dr. Troy today to learn why he is one of Canada’s leading providers of this treatment option and why he believes it can clear all severities of fungal infections of the toe nail. Booking an appointment is easy and can be the first step to eliminating an embarrassing, yet common, condition. There is nothing to lose except the toe nail fungus.
