Fungal Nail treatment for an infection of the toe
Do I have Fungal Nail Infection?

The signs and symptoms can be subtle at first, but once established, the nails can become very badly damaged:

• Discoloured white, yellow, even turning brown
• Disfigured, thickened or twisted nails
• Crumbling, flaky or brittle nails
• Scalyness under the nail
• Distorted nail, lifting off the nail bed
• Loss of nail

Toenail fungus is unlikely to get better without treatment. Once established it will generally continue to get worse and risk infecting other nails too. Traditional treatments such as medications and topical paints/creams show only limited success in curing the condition and it will often recur.

How do these infections develop?

Fungal nail infections develop when your feet are constantly warm and damp. You're more likely to get an infection if you wear trainers for a long time and have hot, sweaty feet.

How it Works

How does laser fungal nail treatment work?

Using long pulsed ND-Yag wavelength, the laser emit powerful bursts of light that go directly through the nail plate to the nail bed. The laser targets the infection beneath the nail, working to systematically destroy the fungus responsible for the infection.

How does it feel?

During the treatment, you may feel a slight pressure on your nails and gradual heating or a snapping. However, there is no constant or extreme pain so no numbing or anesthesia is necessary.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends on how severe your infection is, usually between 1-4 treatments every 2 weeks

How long will it take to see results?

Because nails grow slowly it can take up to 6 months before you nails look completely healthy, however improvements can be seen after 1 month.

Preventing infections in the future

Do:
• treat athlete’s foot as soon as possible to avoid it spreading to nails
• keep your feet clean and dry
• wear clean socks every day
• wear flip flops in showers at the gym or pool
• throw out old shoes

Don't:
• wear shoes that make your feet hot and sweaty
• share towels
• wear other people's shoes
• share nail clippers or scissors
