Toenail fungus, also called onychomycosis, is a common problem that affects more than 23 million adults in the United States. If you’ve got it, you may notice that your toenails have changed color or shape. They might be thicker than usual, too.
There are several ways to treat toenail fungus. Doctors may prescribe topical or oral medications. Laser therapy, and even blue light therapy, are other options.
Traditional treatments have some drawbacks. Medications don’t always work, and they can have side effects. Plus, the fungus can come back even after treatment.
That’s why some people are interested in trying home laser devices. These devices are designed to be used at home, without a doctor’s supervision. But do home nail fungus lasers work? That’s what we’ll explore in this article.
