Common nail problems

Changes in your fingernails or toenails are often overlooked but your nails can show signs of distress or underlying health issues. The nails can develop ridges or lines, become brittle, become discolored, or have chronic trauma. These nail problems are commonly mistaken for fungal infections.

There are many species of fungus that may affect the nails. Both fingernails and toenails can become infected. The most common fungus is Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum). Signs and symptoms of this fungal infection may include:

Raising of the nail
Discoloration of the nail
White powdery material on the nail surface

Causes or risk factors

A fungus can lurk in even the most unsuspected places or may be more common in patients with athletic lifestyles or certain conditions.

Nail salons– Some salons do not follow the proper steps for cleansing and sterilizing instruments after each client.
Communal showers– Locker rooms and public swimming pools are a hotbed for fungal growth as the areas are wet or moist.
Athletes– Athletes may be more susceptible to toenail fungus due to wearing tight, hot shoes and constant trauma to the toenails.
The elderly or those with compromised immune systems may be more prone to fungal infections.

Pre-treatment guidelines for laser toenail fungus treatment

Make sure you remove all nail polish prior to your appointment. Please do this at least 24 hours in advance.
File down the nails only if they are thick.
Bring sandals or new shoes to wear after your treatment.
Do not continue to wear your old shoes unless they have been treated by https://www.sterishoe.com/why-sterishoe/toenail-fungus/
Be prepared to sterilize your current shoes or buy new shoes.
Continue to have good foot hygiene.

Treatments

With advanced laser technology, your nail problems can now be a thing of the past. Lasers are precise and accurate, only treating the targeted area to avoid damaging the surrounding tissue. When used to treat nail fungus, the laser heats the nail and underlying tissue. This discourages fungal growth. More than one treatment is necessary to fully destroy the infection.

I can’t say enough good things about EsthetixMD. I came in for a Madonna Eye Lift and Coolpeel combo. I felt so safe and protected entering the building. My provider, Allison was so sweet, professional and amazing. Allison prepped me on what to expect during and after. I was provided post care and given skin care options. I am absolutely delighted with the results. I’ve already booked another! Thank you EsthetixMD!

This staff is amazing! They bent over backwards to make my experience comfortable and professional. They were warm, caring and accommodating. Allison is not only caring but she dials you in on the best possible solution for your skin. The front office staff is the same way. I can not recommend them enough. They go the extra mile.

I see Dr. Covey for dermal filler and Botox. She is brilliant, she educates me all the way through the treatment, she does her best to minimize any pain, and I always look and feel terrific afterwards. The clinic is professional, and staff is very pleasant. Check in and out is easy. I would recommend the clinic to anyone who wants beautiful skin, expert treatment and loving care. Also, the range of treatments available for face and body is impressive.

Five star treatment hands down. Thank you!

Ultra Femme 360 does what it claims. Don’t be afraid to try it. Yes it is an investment but it is worth it. Allison is very professional and makes the awkwardness just go away. If you are wondering what to expect while in the room it’s similar to a well women visit only the benefits are outstanding. Instead of feeling like I need to treat myself to a nice lunch and glass of wine after going through the whole pap experience I am planning a date night.

“Love working with Nicholas! He introduced the PFD patch for laser tattoo removal which allows for multiple laser passes instead of only one pass. It’s incredible how much the new patch will speed up removing my tattoos!”
