Podiatrist in Memphis Offers Laser Treatment for Nail Fungus

    MEMPHIS, TN, November 28, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With fall ending and winter beginning, Dr. Nathan Lucas, podiatrist in Memphis, encourages his patients to visit Advanced Foot & Ankle Care of Memphis, LLC for treatment of toenail fungus in Memphis. While now is the time for everyone to wear close-toed shoes, it is important for patients to treat their fungus rather than hide it. To help patients clear up their fungus for healthy feet, Dr. Lucas is excited to offer a new laser treatment for nail fungus removal.

"It is important to treat toenail fungus immediately, rather than wait as this can cause the condition to worsen and even spread. With a new laser treatment, I can successfully help my patients eliminate their unsightly toenail fungus," said Dr. Nathan Lucas, Memphis podiatrist.

With this new treatment, the laser light passes through the toenails without causing damage to the nails or the surrounding skin. At the time of the Laser Nail Procedure, the toenail will not become instantly clear, as it takes time to grow out. Through a consultation with Dr. Lucas, the Laser Nail Procedure can be performed and any follow up visits will be explained to offer the best treatment possible.

Treating Memphis toenail fungus with the CoolTouch laser, most patients will experience very little pain or discomfort. Rather, some patients will feel a mild warming sensation and very few will feel a pinprick. There is no recovery period, which allows patients to walk in and walk out in the same day, with the procedure taking only 30-40 minutes.

The toenail infection typically will improve following one treatment and Dr. Lucas, podiatrist in Memphis, TN, will recommend a second treatment within six months, which is included in the price. Homecare techniques are also highly recommended to reduce recurrence of the infection. After the procedure, patients can apply polish immediately, but it is important to remove all nail polish and nail decorations the day before treatment takes place.
