Fixing fungal nail with laser treatment
From €130
With a fungal nail treatment, we address nail fungal infections purposefully and effectively using a medical laser. This heats the fungal cells in the nail without damaging the surrounding skin and without the need for medication.
For this fungal nail treatment, we use a medical laser that emits targeted light pulses. These penetrate the nail and nail bed, where heat (45-50°C) destroys fungal cells without damaging healthy tissue. The treatment is medication-free and stimulates the growth of a healthy nail that grows out into a smooth, strong, and fungus-free nail.
The laser offers a medication-free solution that tackles the fungus at its source and ensures long-lasting results.
During a non-binding consultation, the skin therapist assesses your nails. Together, you discuss your expectations, and a treatment plan is drawn up. This way, you know exactly what to expect.
Before we begin, the nails are cleaned and prepared for the treatment. It is important that the nails are free of nail polish, cream, or oil.
Controlled heat is applied to the nail and nail bed with the laser. You will feel a warm, tingling sensation. The treatment is usually well tolerated. A session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
If desired, you can take some time to recover before resuming your daily activities. The skin therapist will discuss with you what you can and cannot do in the coming hours and days, so you know how best to deal with the treated area.
Depending on the nail condition, multiple sessions are required for optimal and lasting results. This varies per person and depends on the state of your nails. The treatment plan is drawn up together with your skin therapist.
A fungal nail treatment is particularly suitable for nail problems indicating a fungal infection. The characteristics below are typical skin indications for this treatment:
Fungi cause excessive production of keratin under the nail plate. This makes the nail increasingly thicker and harder. This thickening makes the nail difficult to trim and can lead to pressure and pain, especially in shoes. This is a typical characteristic of advanced fungal infections.
In a fungal infection, fungi penetrate the nail plate and cause discoloration. The nail becomes yellow, brown, white, or sometimes greenish due to fungal growth and accumulation of keratin material under the nail. This discoloration usually starts at the edge or tip of the nail and gradually spreads towards the nail root.
The fungus breaks down the structure of the nail, causing it to lose its firmness. The nail becomes porous and brittle, with pieces easily breaking off or crumbling. A dry, powdery material often forms under the nail. This crumbling indicates severe damage to the nail structure by the fungus.
The fungal infection disrupts normal nail growth. As a result, the nail grows irregularly, deformed, or growth almost completely stops. A healthy nail grows about 3 mm per month, but with a fungal infection, this process can be severely delayed or disturbed.
Fungal nails are often stubborn because fungi are deep in the nail plate, where creams struggle to penetrate. Oral medication also doesn't always work, especially with severe or long-term infections. If regular treatments fail, this may indicate a resistant fungal strain or a very deep infection, making intensive laser treatment, such as a fungal nail treatment, necessary.
