Do your toenails appear yellow, brittle
or thickened? Then perhaps you suffer from onychomycosis,
a condition also known as toenail fungus. Toenail fungus can be caused by heavy foot
perspiration, poor shoe/sock ventilation, or
walking barefoot in damp areas such as a gym
or locker room. Until now, the only solutions
for toenail fungus were to surgically remove
the nail; apply topical treatments, which
have a poor success rate; or more recently,
prescription medications, which have many
potentially dangerous side effects. Today, lasers are the latest treatment
for toenail fungus. The Light Age Q-Clear laser treatment can
effectively rid your toenails of unsightly toenail
fungus in as little as one or two treatments,
depending on the severity of the condition. The
mid-infrared laser wavelength penetrates the
nail, eliminating the destructive fungus that
cause the infection and revitalizing your nail as
it grows out. What to expect…
Your toenails will be cleaned and filed prior
to the laser treatment. As each toe is treated
with the laser you will feel a mild, warming
sensation. The laser treatment will take about
10-15 minutes to treat both feet and there is
usually no discomfort after the treatment. The
physician will discuss post-treatment care to
avoid fungal re-infection. You will notice results within 2-4 months,
depending on how quickly your toenails grow. New, clear growth begins to appear at the
bottom portion of your nail as the diseased
portion of the nail grows out. You may return to your normal daily routine
immediately after your toenail treatment,
including painting your nails or pedicure
treatments. Why choose the Q-Clear laser treatment

your toenail fungus? Q-Clear is an effective, quick treatment, that
