PDF Help Preventive Care After Laser Treatment Follow-up: After a single laser treatment, 80% of patients notice cosmetic improvement of their nails. The new nail grows out from the root of the nail and displaces the old abnormal nail.Some patients will require an additional treatment or two due to an incomplete cure. The purpose of follow up appointments is to determine if and when additional treatments are required. Nails will require up to a year to grow out completely. Patients will be monitored for 6-12 months to confirm clearing of the nail plate. Biotin will increase the rate of nail growth, promoting quicker nail growth thus quicker nail clearing. Simple care of your feet following Laser treatment is necessary for the prevention of reocurring fungus following Laser treatment. If the skin is not treated two times a day with a topical antifungal cream, it is common to have reinfection of the toenail fungus.
Success of laser nail treatmentis often due to the care of hygiene of your feet following the procedure. Athelete's foot, sweating and old shoes are the most common cause of the fungus returning to the nail. Patients who respond to treatment can be discharged from active care once their nails have shown a stable appearence for several months. Patients who fail to show significant response to therapy after 3 treatments will probably not benefit from additional treatments Insurance and Payment Information We are a provider for Medicare and most major insurance plans.
