Fungal Nail Laser Treatment

Fungal Nail Laser Treatment is an advanced medical procedure that uses laser technology to target and destroy the pathogens causing fungal infections in nails. It stands out because it offers a non-invasive, quick solution with minimal discomfort, unlike topical creams or oral medications that may have side effects or require long treatment durations.

The procedure uses a specific wavelength of laser light that penetrates the nail and is absorbed by the underlying fungal cells. The energy from the laser heats and destroys these cells without damaging the surrounding nail or skin.

This treatment is performed on toenails and fingernails where the fungal infection is present.

Yes, the procedure is suitable for all skin types. During the initial consultation, our specialist will assess your individual circumstances and skin condition to ensure this treatment is appropriate for you and tailor it to achieve the best results.

If left untreated, fungal nail infections can worsen and lead to more significant nail damage, pain, and spreading of the infection to other nails or people.

Visible improvement is typically noticed after one treatment, but the complete resolution of the infection can be seen as the nail grows out, which may take several months depending on the growth rate of your nails.

The results can be long-lasting if the fungus is completely eradicated. However, it is crucial to follow preventive measures to avoid re-infection.

Maintaining the results involves practicing good foot and nail hygiene, keeping your nails dry and clean, and using antifungal sprays or powders if recommended by your practitioner.

The procedure typically lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of nails treated.

Yes, there is no downtime required, and you can return to your daily activities immediately after the session.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. Some may feel a warming sensation or slight pinching but no significant pain.

Multiple treatments may be necessary for severe infections, spaced a few weeks apart to allow the effect of the laser to work as the nail grows.

Yes, laser treatment for fungal nails is safe when performed by a qualified professional. It is FDA-approved and has a high safety profile with minimal risks.

Numerous clinical studies have validated the efficacy of laser treatments in clearing nail fungus, showing improvement in nail appearance and reduction in fungus with minimal side effects.

The treatment uses specialized laser devices designed specifically for podiatric and dermatological use, which target fungus effectively while ensuring patient safety.

No active ingredients or chemicals are used. The treatment solely relies on laser light.

The most common side effects are slight redness or swelling around the treated area, which typically resolves quickly.

Adverse effects are rare. The treatment is considered low risk, and any minor side effects usually resolve without intervention.

Complications are rare, but in cases where issues arise, such as temporary skin irritation, they are typically managed with standard care and follow-up.

Avoiding nail polish and removing all jewelry around the treated area is recommended before the session.

The treatment is not recommended for patients with current nail infections, peripheral neuropathy, or poor circulation in the hands or feet.

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.
• Avoid nail polish for at least a week.
• Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider to enhance recovery and prevent re-infection.
