Fretting Over Fungus?

After the long winter months, Chicagoans long to break free from the confines of their boots and slip into their favorite open toed shoe or flip flop. Toenail fungus on the other hand may have some people unwilling to show off their toes. 

Those that have toenail fungus know they have this condition. It’s characterized by a thickened, discolored, loose, or deformed toenail. 

Dr. Christopher Vittori, DPM, of Vittori Foot and Ankle Specialist perform a revolutionary new procedure that eliminates nail fungus without anesthesia or medication over the course of two to four fifteen minute treatments. Until now, approaches to treating toenail fungus have been a regimen of ointments, assorted prescription medications, and minor surgical procedures.

“In my experience, the only way to really get rid of toenail fungus is to use a treatment that truly addresses the fungus beneath the toenail to destroy the fungal cells within the nail plate,” says Dr. Christopher Vittori. 

This revolutionary procedure is effective in 95% because it reaches the fungal at its core, underneath the nail bed. The fungal infection does not just sit on top of the nail, so one cannot expect a treatment to work if it does not penetrate below the surface of the nail. The nail grows back, free of fungus. The procedure sounds like it could be painful, but it is quite the opposite. It is virtually pain free with patients feeling a slight warm sensation at times. 

Denise Holub, toenail fungus patient, states, “Over 2 years ago I was treated with a nail polish type of medicine to help get rid of a nail fungus. Unfortunately after 8 months of applying it, all the new nail growth still had a fungus! That is when Dr. Vittori told me about the new laser treatment. I was willing to give it a try. After the first treatment you could actually start seeing some improvement.  I have not had a problem with toenail fungus since then. I would recommend this noninvasive laser treatment to everyone. Dr. Vittori’s staff made the whole experience so easy. They were very accommodating when making my appointments. My visits were very prompt and worked well with my busy schedule.”
