Pittsburgh Pa
Welcome to Pittsburgh beauty guide, if you’re looking at this post you most likely have or know someone who has an issue with toenail fungus in the Pittsburgh Pa area. Here in our offices, we see many patients with this issue. If you’ve taken a look at our toenail fungus before and after pictures you know that toenail fungus can be very unsightly and embarrassing. This is especially true in the summer months when open-toed shoes are more prevalent. Let’s talk about how people like yourself might get this fungus, how to get rid of it, and the cost of toenail fungus removal in Pittsburgh Pa.
How did I get toenail fungus?
Everybody has fungi on their toes and fingers which are living organisms that live on our bodies with various kinds of other bacteria. These living fungal organisms usually do not generate any condition but fungus is very opportunistic. The fungus flourishes in warm, humid conditions like the inside of your shoes and under your socks. If you have infected toenails this will most likely cause discolored nails. This has nothing to do with your hygiene, you can wash your feet multiple times a day, and still get the fungus. So, here’s how you might have got the fungus to infect the nail. If you have damaged your toenail such as someone stepping on it, you stubbing it, or dropping something on it. Then, that opportunistic fungi steps in and finds a path beneath the nail. And, because the fungus is down in the nail it can become shielded by the nail itself, which then allows it to lie dormant for any amount of time. As this happens it may start to infect the neighboring nails and you may not be able to notice for months after the damage.
How can I treat toenail fungus?
Fortunately, the amazing technology of laser treatments can help to remove this fungus completely. In 2010 the FDA approved the use of lasers to remove nail fungus. Laser treatments for Toenail Fungus works by using a high-intensity light to selectively destroy the harmful fungus and leave the surrounding healthy tissue unharmed. The laser kills the fungus, and healthy new growth of the nail will come out clean and normal, allowing you to cut off the discolored portions of your nail over time. Our toenails grow very slowly, and depending on your nutritional intake, it can take a long time to grow. So, be patient and follow your Post Care instruction to help you prevent reinfection.

Most people require more than one treatment, which is done every 8 weeks until the fungus is gone. This typically takes a series of 3 sessions for most people. That’s why here at Body Beautiful we sell ours in packages of three with an included topical medicine which is a very important part of the process. In the Pittsburgh area, this normally runs about $700-1,000 for both feet. But, we run ours around $549 for 3 sessions with a topical because we have multiple locations around western Pa and we can pass the savings on to the customers when we’re treating so many patients.
