Laser Fungus Treatment

MYFOXNY.COM - Toenail fungus, an embarrassing problem, affects 20 million people. There aren't a lot of effective treatment options. Creams or ointments often don't work and antifungal pills can be potentially toxic to the liver. There is a new way to treat it without medication -- a laser.

The specially designed laser beam goes through the nail and kills the fungus. It's a 30-minute treatment that is relatively painless. The treatment has shown promise, but because it is new there are no long term studies.

Cost: $1,000-$1,200; It is not covered by insurance.
