Fungal Nail Laser Treatment

PinPointe FootLaser treatment for onychomycosis (fungal nails)If you’ve noticed white or yellow spotting or streaking on your toenail and are worried you’ve picked up a fungal nail infection – you’re not alone!

Fungal toenail infections, medically known as onychomycosis, affect approximately 10% of the population in Australia. Unfortunately, this rate only increases as we get older, with up to 50% of people over the age of 60 having one or more nails infected.

Thankfully, My FootDr has taken advantage of the technological advancements in recent years, meaning that we can treat these fungal nail infections more effectively than ever before using anti-fungal laser treatment. This means no more daily creams, lacquers or tablets.

Diabetes is a disorder that affects the entire body – including having severe consequences for the feet. 

How diabetes affects your feet and body

Overall, diabetes impairs the body’s ability to absorb sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream and provide it to the tissue cells that need it for normal activity and health. This results in high levels of glucose remaining in the bloodstream and producing toxins that affect all body organs and systems, including the circulatory system and the peripheral nerves in the feet and legs.
