Nail Fungus Treatment in Beverly Hills
Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, causes nails to become thickened, discolored, brittle, and sometimes painful. It is a persistent condition that rarely resolves without treatment and can be difficult to fully eliminate without an expert approach. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists offer advanced treatment options to clear infection and restore healthy nails.
What Causes Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus develops when fungal organisms infect the nail bed. Contributing factors include:
- Warm, moist environments such as pools, gyms, and locker rooms
- Minor trauma or microtrauma to the nail
- Reduced circulation, common with age
- Prolonged moisture exposure
- A weakened immune system
Toenails are affected far more often than fingernails, largely because shoes create exactly the warm, dark, damp environment fungus needs to thrive.
Treatment Options
Our physicians select a treatment approach based on the severity of infection. Options include:
- Topical antifungal lacquers for mild to moderate cases
- Oral antifungal medication for more extensive infection
- Professional nail debridement to reduce thickness and improve treatment penetration
Why Patience Matters
Because nails grow slowly, full clearance often takes several months regardless of the method used, a fingernail may take four to six months to grow out completely, and a toenail can take up to a year. Our physicians set realistic expectations from the start and track visible improvement at the base of the nail as the earliest sign that treatment is working.
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient with thickened, discolored, or crumbling nails is a candidate for evaluation and treatment. Earlier treatment leads to better outcomes and faster clearance, since less damaged nail has to grow out before you see normal nail again. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice to get started.
