Fungal Toenail Treatment
Restore Clear, Healthy Nails — Without the Embarrassment
If your toenails have turned yellow, thickened, or started to crumble, you may be dealing with a fungal infection. Nail fungus is one of the most common foot conditions we treat at Florida Foot Specialists — and left untreated, it can spread to other nails, the surrounding skin, and even other people. Our board-certified podiatrists offer advanced, clinically proven options including Remy™ Laser therapy to eliminate the infection and help your nails grow back healthy.
What Are Fungal Toenails?
Fungal toenail infections (onychomycosis) happen when a microscopic fungus enters the nail through a small crack or cut. The fungus thrives in the warm, moist environments common in Florida — public pools, gym locker rooms, and even sweaty shoes. Without proper treatment, the infection deepens and can become permanent.
Common symptoms include:
- Yellow, brown, or white discoloration of the nail
- Thickened or brittle nails
- Nails that crumble or break easily
- Distorted nail shape
- A foul odor from the affected nail
- Mild pain or discomfort when wearing shoes
Advanced Remy™ Laser Fungal Toenail Treatment
The Remy™ Laser is one of the most advanced treatments available for fungal toenail infections. The laser penetrates through the nail to target and destroy the fungus beneath without harming the surrounding skin or healthy nail tissue. The procedure is safe, effective, virtually painless, and requires no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Many patients choose Remy™ laser therapy as a convenient alternative to oral medications and lengthy treatment plans.
Why Treat Fungal Toenails?
Fungal nail infections almost never resolve on their own, and over-the-counter creams rarely penetrate deeply enough to clear the infection. The longer it’s left untreated, the harder it becomes to reverse — and the greater the risk of spreading to other nails or the surrounding skin.
Professional treatment can help:
- Eliminate the infection at its source — not just the surface
- Prevent spreading to adjacent nails and skin
- Restore the natural appearance and texture of your nails
- Relieve discomfort when walking or wearing shoes
- Significantly reduce the chance of the infection returning

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Nail fungus spreads through direct contact and contaminated surfaces — shared nail tools, gym floors, pool decks, and locker rooms are all common sources. Prompt treatment protects both you and others.
Rarely. Without professional care, fungal infections typically worsen over time, spreading to other nails and causing permanent nail damage. Early treatment leads to the best results.
The Remy™ Class IV Laser delivers therapeutic light energy through the nail to the affected tissue beneath, supporting the body’s natural response while targeting the source of the infection. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment and can return to normal activities immediately, with no downtime required.
The treatment itself is quick, but full nail regrowth typically takes 6–12 months depending on the severity of the infection. Many patients see visible improvement much sooner.
Yes — especially in Florida’s warm, humid climate. Our team will provide specific prevention guidance to reduce your risk, including footwear tips and hygiene practices suited to your lifestyle.
OTC products may help very mild cases, but they typically cannot penetrate the nail plate to reach the fungus underneath. Professional treatment — especially laser therapy — delivers far superior results.
Coverage depends on your plan and the specific treatment. We recommend verifying with your insurance provider. Our team is happy to help clarify your options during your consultation.

Fred D.
I tried everything to get rid of the stubborn fungus on my toenails - over-the-counter creams, home remedies, you name it. Nothing worked. I was about to give up hope when I found the Fungus Toenails service. The treatment was easy, and I saw results quickly. My nails are now clear and strong. I'm so grateful for this service.
