Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is an infection of your toenails. It’s caused by several common types of fungi that are everywhere in our environment. Like any other infection, it’s always possible to be re-infected, which is why it’s important to follow all of the protocols and instructions set up by your doctor for the best long-term results. The Pinpointe Foot Laser offers the safest and most effective treatment for your fungal infection.
