Onychomycosis

Introduction

Introduction to Onychomycosis Treatment

Dealing with some thick, discolored, or brittle nails that won’t improve no matter what you do? You may be facing a common but persistent issue known as onychomycosis. Nail fungus can be persistent, uncomfortable, and incredibly tough to treat on your own with over-the-counter remedies that rarely address the root of the problem. Nail fungus is also known to be resistant to harsh, oral prescription medications.

That’s where Elevation Medical Aesthetics in Queensbury, NY, comes in. We’re not just your average medspa, as our experienced providers blend aesthetic precision with a deeper focus on wellness.

Using modern techniques and individualized care plans, we help eliminate the guesswork from nail fungus treatment, allowing you to show off clean, healthy-looking nails confidently.

What is an Onychomycosis Treatment?

Onychomycosis treatment targets fungal infections of the nails, typically caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds. These infections will often begin as a white or yellow spot under the tips of your fingernail or toenail and can progress to nail thickening, crumbling edges, and discoloration.

At Elevation Medical Aesthetics, we utilize professional-grade therapies specifically designed to penetrate the nail and effectively treat the underlying infection, without relying solely on oral medications.

Options may include topical antifungals, light-based therapy, or other aesthetic-based solutions that improve both the health and appearance of the nail.

What Are the Benefits of an Onychomycosis Treatment?

Treating nail fungus professionally offers a long list of benefits beyond the obvious cosmetic improvements. Clearer, healthier nails can help boost your confidence and allow you to wear open-toed shoes or go bare-handed without feeling self-conscious. However, beyond its appearance, eliminating the infection prevents it from spreading to other nails or even to other people. Proper treatment also enhances nail integrity, alleviates discomfort, and reduces the risk of secondary bacterial infections. Plus, you’re avoiding the side effects of long-term oral antifungals, thanks to our modern, localized treatment techniques.

Who Are the Best Candidates for an Onychomycosis Treatment?

Anyone with symptoms of a nail fungus, such as thickening, discoloration, brittleness, or nail separation from the nail bed, may be a great candidate for treatment. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who have tried over-the-counter products without success or are seeking a more aesthetically focused approach. People with diabetes or circulatory issues should seek early treatment, as nail fungus can lead to more serious complications.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your nail health and medical history to determine the best course of action.

Onychomycosis Treatment Recovery

Since most treatments are noninvasive, you won’t need time off or major aftercare. We may recommend a consistent home regimen to support your results, such as applying topical treatments, keeping your nails trimmed and dry, and avoiding footwear that traps moisture.

While the infection can clear up over a series of appointments, full nail regrowth can take several months, depending on how quickly your nails grow.

The cost of treating nail fungus in Queensbury varies depending on the severity and the chosen treatment method. A single laser therapy session costs between $150 and $250. If your treatment requires multiple sessions, we offer bundled pricing to provide better value over time.
