There are close to 35 million people in the country who are suffering from an embarrassing problem that is challenging to talk about, and that is toenail fungus. This condition makes the nails appear discoloured, and they also become thicker and in some cases, quite brittle. Topical treatments take months to complete before any positive effects can be seen.

Those seeking rapid results are in luck, as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently approved a revolutionary treatment that will speed up the healing process considerably. This is Laser Treatment, which directly targets the fungi and kills them using heat.

More people are gravitating towards laser treatments than ever before. This is because they are modern, and show that there is technological advancement in human disease treatments. If ever there was anything sexy about toenail fungus, this type of treatment would be it.

There are other reasons that people are opting for laser treatments when it comes to nail fungus, as opposed to simply taking the tried and tested oral prescriptions. These include evidence from numerous medical reports that these treatments are harmful to the body. Oral treatments especially, may cause injury to the digestive system, cause headaches, lead to loss of smell, result in rushes, and in the worst cases, cause life threatening liver conditions.

Laser treatments do not cause damage to the tissue that is surrounding the nail, instead working towards destroying only the fungus in the nail. Topical and oral treatments need several weeks for the effects to be noticed, and with laser treatments, you may need to have multiple sessions. Most people associate the treatment of any condition using laser to require doctors present, or a highly skilled specialist to get the job done.

It is worth noting that choosing laser treatment may cost you a considerable amount, as each session rarely costs less than $200 for each toe. This treatment is believed to be cosmetic and so it is not covered by insurance.

There is a solution though that still allows for the use of laser technology at a fraction of the cost. When it comes to the latest technology on laser treatments for toenail fungus, it has evolved to the extent that people can treat themselves in the safety of their own homes. This is due to modern devices, such as the highly portable Cure Ex Fungus Treatment Laser Device that is currently available in the market.

To make use of this type of laser device, the person seeking treatment needs to place it on the nail that has been infected. It is ten powered by batteries and once it has been put on, is left on the nail for a total of seven minutes. To safely accelerate the process of healing, it is recommended that this treatment be used at least three times in a day.

Laser treatments are no longer the way of the future; they are transforming the present of toenail fungal treatment.
