HyperBlue Laser: Our Revolutionary Treatment for Fungal Toenails in El Paso, TX

Our El Paso Podiatrists Discuss Treating Fungal Toenails With the Power of the HyperBlue Laser

Imagine the confidence that comes from sporting open-toed shoes without embarrassment. Picture yourself at the beach, toes sinking into the warm sand, without a second thought. At The Foot Institute in El Paso, TX, our podiatrists understand the frustration and discomfort of dealing with unsightly fungal toenails. That’s why we offer cutting-edge HyperBlue laser treatment, an FDA-cleared solution that targets the source of your fungal infection, providing lasting relief and restoring the health of your nails. Find out how this revolutionary treatment works. 

What Is HyperBlue Laser Treatment?

HyperBlue laser treatment is a revolutionary technology that uses concentrated light energy to penetrate the nail and eliminate the fungus at its source. Unlike topical treatments that only address surface-level symptoms, the HyperBlue laser targets the fungus embedded deep within the nail bed. The laser energy passes through the toenail without causing damage to the surrounding skin or tissue.

During the procedure, the laser light beams through the toenail and safely kills the fungal organisms embedded in the nail bed, a condition medically known as onychomycosis. You’ll feel a warm sensation as the laser targets the affected nails. Most patients report little to no discomfort, and the treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes. With no anesthesia or downtime required, you can walk in and walk out, getting back to your daily routine right away.

How Does HyperBlue Laser Treatment Work to Treat Fungal Toenails?

HyperBlue laser treatment harnesses the power of light energy to eradicate fungal infections in the toenails. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that penetrates through the nail plate and into the nail bed, where the fungus resides.

The laser energy selectively targets the fungal organisms, heating them to a temperature that destroys their cellular structure. Clinical studies show that laser treatments are highly effective, with clear nail growth typically occurring in over 80% of cases after just one session. However, depending on the severity of the infection, your El Paso podiatrist may recommend a few treatments for optimal results.

As the laser eliminates the fungus, it also stimulates the growth of new, healthy nail tissue. It’s important to note that while the infection is treated immediately, the toenail itself takes time to grow out. Over the following months, you’ll notice the clear, uninfected nail gradually replacing the discolored, brittle one.

Benefits of HyperBlue Laser Treatment for Fungal Toenails

• Safe and effective. HyperBlue laser treatment is FDA-cleared and safe for targeting the infection at its root. The gentle laser light beam treats only the infected area, without affecting healthy skin or tissue. No anesthesia is needed, and the procedure involves little to no discomfort.
• No side effects. Oral antifungal medications often come with systemic side effects, such as liver damage. HyperBlue laser treatment, however, eliminates the need for medications or topical ointments, with no known side effects. No liver enzyme tests are required either, making it a more convenient option for many patients.
• Quick and convenient. A full session for both feet takes under 30 minutes, with the procedure itself lasting only about 10 minutes per foot. Appointments can be easily scheduled during lunch breaks or after work hours.
• No downtime. There’s no recovery period after the treatment. You can resume your normal activities immediately, with no restrictions. Plus, you can even apply nail polish or have a pedicure right after treatment, so long as you remove all decorations the day before treatment.
• Long-lasting results. With proper foot hygiene and periodic checkups with your El Paso podiatrist, HyperBlue laser treatment offers lasting relief from fungal toenails. While there is always a chance of reinfection due to environmental exposure, your provider will recommend care techniques to help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
