Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection that makes nails thick, discoloured, brittle and sometimes detached. It affects 3% to 8% of people; ageing, poor circulation, a weak immune system and damp environments all contribute. Left untreated it can cause discomfort and secondary infections.
Traditional antifungals need months of use, can have side effects and contraindications, and their success varies.
The 1064 nm Nordlys Nd:YAG laser penetrates the nail plate to destroy the fungus in the nail bed, with better comfort than traditional treatments.
The Nordlys Nd:YAG laser emits infrared light that targets the fungus in the nail bed. The heat destroys the fungal cells while a sub-millisecond pulse weakens their structure.
Most patients feel only slight warmth or stinging. The SoftCool® system keeps the area cool and comfortable.
Typically 4 to 6 weekly sessions, depending on the severity of the infection, with more as needed.
Improvement shows as the infection clears and healthy nail grows in; full replacement of the damaged nail can take several months.
It depends on the number of sessions and the severity of the infection. Contact Paad Wellness + Dermesthetics for a detailed quote.
