Laser nail fungus treatment - a faster and gentler method

Why choose laser for nail fungus?

Nail fungus is often persistent because topical agents penetrate poorly. Laser treatment works directly - it precisely targets the energy at the fungal focus, reduces infection activity, and has no long-term post-procedure recovery period. For the patient, this means less discomfort, quicker resumption of daily activities, and a more effective treatment course, especially when combined with systemic treatment.

Advantages of Candela Vascular IPL and technology

ERA ESTHETIC clinic uses advanced equipment, such as Candela Vascular IPL, which combines several technologies allowing concentrated and effective treatment of various skin and nail problems. Due to the equipment's versatility, sometimes one session is enough, but the treatment plan is always individualized based on inflammation degree, patient’s health status, and prior treatments.

Nail fungus

Nail fungus is the most common disease of the fingernails and toenails. Approximately 10-12 percent of people suffer from it. The infection is widespread and persistent. It causes nails to thicken and their structure to change, and can spread to the surrounding tissues, causing secondary infection. In cases of infection, the skin dries out badly, which causes it to become very sensitive and covered with dandruff, which at times results in ulcers. In certain situations, nail fungus can expand rapidly, which leads to difficulty in treating it.

The previous treatment where oral medication has been employed is not effective since it is accompanied by side effects. Local treatment is of little help as locally applied remedies do not penetrate deeply enough into the nail plate.

Laser treatment is a viable and safe solution! It effectively targets the fungus that is responsible for infection without harming the nail plate and surrounding tissues.

How do I know whether or not I suffer from nail fungus?

If Your nails look abnormal (i.e. their form has changed), or unevenly coloured with yellow stripes, or are of uneven texture, thickened, easily broken, brittle or coarse, it may be a sign that you have nail fungus. However, an accurate diagnosis can be made only after performance of bacteriological nail swab culture.

How is nail fungus laser treatment performed?

Laser treatment is a safe and quick procedure that does not require a post-procedural period. Results of the first treatment are visible in three months. Nevertheless, it takes 9-12 months for the nail plate to grow again; therefore, an assessment of the treatment effectiveness can be carried out 3-6 months after the last treatment. Your doctor will advise you on how to take care of your skin in order to achieve the best results.

How many procedures do I need?

Usually, 3-4 procedures are enough to cure persistent nail fungus. Retreatments are also performed.
At Era Esthetic laser dermatology clinic, nail fungus treatment is performed using the most modern lasers.

What you need to know

It is recommended to perform a nail culture and microscopic examination before the procedure, bringing the test results to the consultation. Nail polish must be removed, artificial nails taken off, and topical antifungal agents avoided 1-2 days before the session if the doctor advises so.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. The patient wears protective goggles. The session is short, often painless or with minimal sensations. No sick leave or long rest is needed.

There is no prolonged recovery after the session. Initial improvements are often seen after 3 months, but full nail renewal occurs within 9-12 months. Several sessions or additional topical or oral antifungal agents may be needed, as determined by the doctor.
