Principle: When used to treat nailobacteria, laser is directed, so heat will penetrate toenails to the nail bed where the fungus is located. When the laser is aimed at the infected area, the heat generated will inhibit the growth of fungi and destroy it.
Advantage:
• effective treatment with high patient satisfaction
• Fast recovery time
• Safe, extremely fast and easy to execute procedures
During treatment: warmth
Suggestions:
1.If I have only one infected nail, can I treat only that one and save time and cost?
Unfortunately, no. The reason for this is that if one of your nails is infected, the chances are that your other nails are infected as well. To allow the treatment to be successful and prevent future self infections, it is best to treat all the nails at once. An exception to this is for the treatment of an isolated fungal infection related to acrylic nail air pockets. In these incidences, we will treat the one affected finger nail.
2.What are the possible side effects of laser nail fungus therapy?
Most clients experience no side effects other than a feeling of warmth during treatment and a mild warming sensation after treatment. However, possible side effects may include a feeling of warmth and/or slight pain during treatment, redness of the treated skin around the nail lasting 24 – 72 hours, slight swelling of the treated skin around the nail lasting 24 – 72 hours, discolouration or burn marks may occur on the nail. In very rare cases, blistering of the treated skin around the nail and scarring of the treated skin around the nail may occur.
3.How can I avoid re-infection after treatment?
Careful steps must be taken to avoid re-infection such as:
Treat shoes & skin with anti-fungal agents.
Apply anti-fungal creams to and between toes.
Use a anti-fungal powder if your feet sweat excessively.
Bring clean socks and a change of shoes to wear after treatment.
Keep your nails trimmed and clean.
Sanitize stainless nail instruments by boiling in water for minimum 15 minutes.
Avoid salons where equipment and instruments not properly sanitized.
Wear flip flops in public places.
Avoid wearing the same pair of socks and footwear on consecutive days.
Kill fungus on footwear by placing it in a sealed plastic bag into deep freeze for 2 days.
