Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a common condition that affects millions worldwide. Traditional treatments, such as oral antifungals, topical creams, and even surgical interventions, often come with limitations like side effects, prolonged treatment durations, and the need for medical supervision. In recent years, at-home laser therapy devices have emerged as a promising alternative, with Fungabeam leading the charge in revolutionizing toenail fungus treatment.
Understanding Toenail Fungus
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the nails, causing them to become discolored, thickened, and brittle. The infection can be caused by various fungi, including dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds. Risk factors include age, diabetes, compromised immune systems, and exposure to damp environments. If left untreated, toenail fungus can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and social embarrassment.
