Laser for Onychomycosis (Toenail Fungus) - Saskatoon, SK

where were you treated or do you know which laser they used? thanks. glad it's better for you, quite the journey!

Sorry for your hardships with this. Have you considered vinegar soaks?

I had a fungus on my fingernail and tried everything including laser. What finally worked for me was to file the nail down with an emery board, not from the tip but from the surface. I filed it down until there was hardly anything protecting my finger and soaked it in vinegar. The filing did not hurt, but the vinegar stings. Since the nail was horribly ugly from the infection it didn't look any worse either. After this treatment for several days it healed 100%. In fact it grew back smoother and more healthy looking than my other nails. Good luck!

Hi, I happened upon your post. My son stubbed his toe so bad that the nail came off. He kept re injuring it. Anytime there is trauma or the nail bed gets loose or it lifts up then moisture can get up in there and fungus starts growing. It is very hard once you have it to get rid of it. Our doctor said one laser will not work. He did a series of 3 lasers on all of his toes bc usually if you have it on one, you will get it on others. you can tell if you have it by looking for a "waterline". Then you have to treat your shoes with a special light that kills the fungus. also, you should spray your shower every time you use it with lysol up to knee level. he also had to put this polish on it every morning that prevents fungus from growing. it WILL FOR SURE come back if you are not diligent about zapping shoes, spraying shower and keeping stuff on nails. I am surprised your dr did not give you the at home instructions that come with it. oh for other reader, they usually use the pinpointe laser, but my dr just got the newer one that treats a bigger area, but I cannot remember the name
