INGROWN TOENAIL REMOVAL & FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENT
Toenail Injuries & Infections
On the end of each toe, you have a small patch of hardened, layered keratin. This is, of course, your toenail. These nails are more than just a decoration for your toes, or something for people to add polish to when they wear sandals. Your toenails are actually meant to help protect your digits. Unfortunately, they are still susceptible to problems, even as they protect the ends of your toes. Toenail troubles can be both uncomfortable and unpleasant looking, causing a fair amount of distress.

With over 20 years of experience serving Douglas County, downtown Denver, and the surrounding areas, our team is equipped with the latest technology and treatment methods to restore your toenail health.

TOENAIL INJURY TREATMENT FROM A TOP PODIATRIST | DENVER, CO
Common Toenail Problems & Our Treatment Approaches
Toenail issues can arise from various causes, including injuries, infections, and underlying health conditions. Common problems include:
- Fungal Toenails: Characterized by yellowing, thickening, and brittleness, fungal infections can be stubborn and challenging to treat.
- Ingrown Toenails: Occur when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, swelling, and potential infection.
- Black Toenails: Often resulting from trauma, these can indicate bleeding under the nail and may require medical attention.
- Detached Nails: Injuries or infections can cause the nail to separate from the nail bed, necessitating proper care to prevent complications.
Our diagnostic process involves a thorough examination to determine the exact cause of your toenail issue. Treatment options are then customized based on the diagnosis:
- Medications: Topical or oral antifungal treatments for infections,
- Minor Procedures: Nail removal or drainage for certain conditions.
- Laser Therapy: Advanced laser technology to target and eliminate fungal infections effectively.
Our commitment is to provide effective, patient-centered care, ensuring you return to your daily activities with confidence and comfort.
CLEAR NAILS WITH CUTTING-EDGE LASER TECHNOLOGY
Fungal Nail Laser Treatment
Fungal toenails can be both unsightly and stubborn, often resisting over-the-counter remedies and prescription creams. At Podiatry Associates, Inc., we provide a powerful solution: FDA-cleared laser treatment that targets and destroys fungal infections at the root—without pain or downtime.
This advanced therapy uses light energy to penetrate the nail bed, eliminating fungus while preserving the healthy surrounding tissue. Each session is quick and non-invasive, and there’s no need for anesthesia or post-procedure recovery time.
When you come to us with fungal nails, we will assess your condition and determine if laser therapy is the right toenail fungus remedy for you. We will then discuss the treatment packages we provide to decide which option best fits your needs. You can use cash, credit, or your Health Savings Account or Medical IRA to cover the cost, as unfortunately, most insurance providers do not cover fungal nail laser treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a toenail infection?
Common signs include discoloration (yellow, brown, or black), thickening of the nail, brittleness, foul odor, and pain or discomfort. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's essential to consult a podiatrist promptly to prevent the condition from worsening.
Can toenail injuries heal on their own?
Minor injuries may heal without intervention; however, it's crucial to monitor the affected nail for signs of infection or detachment. If you experience persistent pain, discoloration, or changes in nail structure, seek professional evaluation to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
What makes your laser nail treatment different from the cheaper ones I can find online?
While deals on sites like Groupon or flash sale platforms may seem attractive, they often don’t deliver the results patients need. Many of these “bargain” options only include a single session, which is rarely enough to effectively treat toenail fungus. In contrast, our packages include a full treatment protocol designed by podiatrists who specialize in fungal care.
Additionally, many of these discounted services use repurposed lasers (devices originally meant for hair removal, etc.) which aren’t strong or precise enough to penetrate the nail bed and eliminate fungus. At Podiatry Associates, Inc., we use technology built specifically for fungal nail treatment to get the job done.
