NAIL FUNGUS TREATMENT
Laser nail fungus treatment is a method used to treat an infection of the fingernails or toenails, also called onychomycosis, which is caused by fungi called dermatophytes. The infection usually starts along the outer edge of the nail and the color turns whitish-yellow, brown or green. The fungus spreads inside the nail or under the nail plate and causes it to thicken over time. In some cases, a fungal infection in the nail can lead to permanent nail loss.
