Fungal toenails, also known as onychomycosis, are a widespread condition that can result in thick, discolored, misshaped, and crumbly nails, often accompanied by an unpleasant odor. Left untreated, fungal toenails can lead to discomfort, pressure on the nail bed, and even skin breakdown. Furthermore, toenail fungus is contagious and can spread to other nails or individuals.
The infection resides beneath the nail plate in the nail bed. Individuals with toenail injuries or weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to fungal infections. Identifying the cause of thick or discolored toenails is crucial, as not all are fungal in origin. At North London Foot Care, our clinicians work alongside your Primary Care Provider to ensure accurate diagnosis and determine the most effective treatment plan.

Top Treatment Options for Toenail Fungus

Fungal toenails are notoriously difficult to treat because the fungus resides deep within the nail bed. Treatment success often depends on the medication’s ability to penetrate the nail plate. Thinner nails tend to respond better to topical antifungal treatments, while severe cases may require oral antifungal medications. However, oral treatments can have side effects and potential interactions with other drugs.
At North London Foot Care, we offer a range of leading treatments for toenail fungus, including:

  • Topical Antifungal Treatments: We provide paint-on antifungal medications as well as over-the-counter options like Footlogix Nail Tincture, which promotes healthy nail growth.
  • Photodynamic Light Therapy (PDT): A cutting-edge, non-invasive, and highly effective treatment for fungal toenails. Our clinic proudly offers ToeFX ClearToe Light Therapy, a Health Canada-approved Class 2 Photodisinfection device designed specifically for fungal nail infections. This advanced treatment uses a non-toxic ClearToe Serum, which binds to the fungus and is activated by light. Each session lasts 15 minutes, and treatments are biweekly for 4-5 months. Research from McMaster University shows that this therapy leads to substantial or complete clearance of fungal infections in 76% of patients after 8-10 sessions.
