New Treatment for TOUGH Nail Fungus (78.5% Success)

It’s almost impossible to get rid of some types of nail fungus.

Creams can’t penetrate through their shield, and medications don’t work (plus they come with serious side effects).

But a new study published in Lasers in Medical Science reveals how a specific type of laser, common in dermatology practices, has a 78.5% success rate for the toughest type of nail fungus.

That’s huge!

Most people don’t realize how difficult nail fungus is to treat.

When fungus gets deep under your nail, it creates a protective barrier that medications struggle to penetrate.

Sometimes, the fungus forms what doctors call a dermatophytoma — essentially a concentrated mass of fungus that’s particularly resistant to treatment.

This is why researchers have been looking for alternative approaches.

Energy-based devices like the Nd:YAG laser represent a fresh approach.

This treatment uses light energy to generate heat.

The heat is then directed straight at your nailbed, where it targets and destroys the fungal layer.

The scientists conducted their study with 36 patients who had nail fungus.

Each person received between four and eight treatments with a laser, with sessions spaced one or two weeks apart.

The researchers then followed up with these patients at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment.

During each visit, they calculated something called the Onychomycosis Severity Index, a scoring system that measures how bad the nail fungus is.

This allowed them to track improvements over time.

Here’s what they discovered:

• 69.4% of patients showed an improvement after laser treatment.

• 33% of them were completely cured.

• Another 36.1% showed significant improvement but weren’t completely cured.

• The biggest improvements happened at the 6-month and 12-month checkups.

• Patients who received five or more laser treatments had the best results.

• Surprisingly, patients with dermatophytoma (the tough fungal mass) had even better results — with 78.5% showing improvement after 12 months.

• Every patient tolerated the treatment well, despite some slight discomfort.

• All patients were satisfied with their results.

This means that Nd:YAG laser treatment is a safe and effective option for treating nail fungus.

And the fact that it worked well on especially thick fungal layers is great news.

The Nd:YAG laser is a device commonly found in dermatology practices, so it may be available for you to try if you’re struggling with particularly stubborn nail fungus.

Not that we’re competing or anything… but I’ve actually had close to a 100% success rate with our readers fighting stubborn nail fungus.

How?

I use what I call a two-punch approach — with creams you can make yourself at home that fight it from the outside, and the right kind of food that fights it from the inside.
