How Does Remy Laser Treatment Work?
The Remy Class IV Laser emits specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the nail bed, targeting and destroying the fungal cells beneath the nail without harming surrounding healthy tissue. This process not only eradicates the infection but also promotes the growth of clear, healthy nails.
Benefits of Remy Laser Therapy:
-
Effective Results: Directly addresses the fungal infection at its source, leading to clearer nails.
-
Non-Invasive and Painless: The procedure is comfortable, requiring no anesthesia or downtime.
-
Quick Treatment Sessions: Each session is brief, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
-
Safe with No Known Side Effects: Unlike oral antifungal medications, laser therapy doesn’t carry risks of systemic side effects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Is the Remy Laser treatment painful?
A: No, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a warming sensation as the laser works, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
Q: How many sessions are required to treat fungal nails?
A: The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of the infection. Typically, patients see improvement after a few treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Panchal will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Q: When will I see results?
A: As the new, healthy nail grows out, you’ll begin to see improvement. Since toenails grow slowly, noticeable changes may take several months.
Q: Are there any side effects or downtime?
A: Remy Laser Therapy is safe with no known side effects. There’s no downtime, so you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Q: Will the fungus come back after treatment?
A: While Remy Laser Therapy is effective at eliminating existing fungal infections, maintaining proper foot hygiene and following post-treatment care instructions are essential to prevent re-infection. Dr. Panchal will provide guidance on how to keep your nails healthy moving forward.
