Healthy Nails with Laser Treatments
How Does Nail Laser Work?
The nail laser can be used to treat several types of skin infections, including those that are caused by fungi. It works by heating the nail bed enough not to generate damage or burning sensation below your nails but instead just heat transmission through them.
Our laser treatment is a sure way to success! Research studies have found that this device can remove 70-83% of fungal infections. You will need three or four treatments before clear nails grow back. Best results happen with following post-procedure guidelines, including disinfecting socks/shoes after use and sterilising anything touched such as clippers, etc., and avoiding using old nail polish.
Expectation During Treatment
Moving in a grid pattern between 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the size of the nail and how much the fungi have covered it, the laser light which generates the heat is evenly moved over the nail.
Some patients have felt a heat sensation the size of a pin prick underneath the nail where the laser is pointed. If the sensation is at the level of discomfort, inform the laser technician, and they will adjust the treatment.
Benefits
- If nail fungus (onychomycosis) has been treated correctly it will develop a strong nail growth. The cure will be permanent unless the nail has been re-infected.
- Creams or prescribed tablets will not be necessary.
- Get back to your daily routine and activities and caring for your nails after the treatment. Risks
Risks
As a result of all the clinical studies that have been conducted, there have never been any incidences of burns or over-treatments. As a result of all the clinical studies that have been conducted, there have never been any incidences of burns or over-treatments. Laser safety procedures are followed to ensure a very safe procedure. However, lasers produce a hot light that can burn skin or nails superficially.
There have been no findings to confirm cure is safe during pregnancy, so this contraindicates laser treatment.
You will be assessed by the podiatrists for diabetes, neuropathy or decreased feeling in your toes or feet.
You will be provided with information on how to prevent reinfection.
