Toenail fungus is an embarrassing and often painful condition that affects millions of people. At Roadrunner Foot and Ankle, we understand how uncomfortable and self-conscious toenail fungus can make our patients feel. That's why we offer advanced laser technology to effectively treat toenail fungus and restore the health and appearance of your nails.

Toenail fungus, also called onychomycosis, often causes nails to become discolored, thickened, and brittle. The condition is contagious and thrives in warm, moist environments like public showers, pools, and gym locker rooms. Once you develop toenail fungus, it can be extremely difficult to fully get rid of without proper treatment.

At our Peoria podiatry office, we use the state-of-the-art Cutera GenesisPlusTM laser to treat toenail fungus. This revolutionary laser technology delivers short pulses of light energy directly through the nail to target and eliminate the fungus. The laser's light is absorbed by pigment in the fungal organisms, causing the pigment to heat up and kill or damage the fungus.

During the quick, comfortable laser treatment, our specialist will pass the laser beam over each infected nail and surrounding skin. Most patients see noticeable improvement after just one session. However, multiple sessions may be required for more severe cases. The Cutera GenesisPlusTM laser is safe for all skin types and causes no damage to healthy tissue surrounding the nail.

The main benefits of laser treatment for toenail fungus include:

• Highly effective at killing fungus
• Improves nail appearance
• Minimal risk of recurrence
• No messy creams or oral medications
• Safe for any skin type
• Little to no downtime
