Regardless of the method used to treat fungal toenails, you are addressing the toenail’s new growth. The thick, discolored nail plate will remain unchanged. Instead, when the nail is treated, it will grow out.
Toenails take a long time to develop. A great toenail takes 9-12 months to fully grow out, whereas the nails on the other toes require 6-9 months to progress. Many people are unhappy to realize in the spring that their infected toenails will not be totally clear for the summer. At the very least, they’ll be clear for the next year!
If you don’t want to spend another summer with thick, discolored toenails, we offer KeryFlex. Keryflex is a healthy, flexible, and natural-looking artificial toenail that may be used to cover a nail that has been damaged by fungus or trauma. While the nail improves with therapy for the fungal infection, this non-invasive surgery has given both women and men a better-looking toenail.
Contact DeNiel Foot and Ankle Center to arrange an appointment with Dr. Ejodamen Shobowale to hear about your options for getting your toenails free of fungus and ready for sandal season which lasts the majority of the year in Houston.
