Onychomycosis

What Is Onychomycosis?

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.

Nordlys Nd:YAG: A Revolutionary Solution

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.

  • Precise and effective: several passes over each nail, folds and cuticle
  • Comfortable: SoftCool® cold air protects the surrounding skin
  • Monitored: a pass counter tracks every pulse
  • No downtime: back to your day immediately

Post-Treatment Care

  • File the nails to reduce thickness and apply cooling gel as advised.
  • Wear clean socks daily and avoid excess moisture to prevent reinfection.
  • Expect one session per week for 4 to 6 weeks; a fully healthy nail can take months to grow in.

FAQ of Onychomycosis

How does the Onychomycosis laser treatment work?

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.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients feel only slight warmth or stinging. The SoftCool® system keeps the area cool and comfortable.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically 4 to 6 weekly sessions, depending on the severity of the infection, with more as needed.

When will I notice results?

Improvement shows as the infection clears and healthy nail grows in; full replacement of the damaged nail can take several months.

How much will this cost?

It depends on the number of sessions and the severity of the infection. Contact Paad Wellness + Dermesthetics for a detailed quote.
