Nail Fungus
Do you have unsightly nails?
Are you embarrassed to go barefoot at the beach? Are your nails thick and causing discomfort? You may have a fungal infection of the nail bed which is medically termed “Onychomycosis”.
It is estimated to effects 1.6 million Australians. Appearance of the nail can range from brown and crumbly through to white and separated. Fungus usually invade the nail because of injury to the nail bed, tight footwear or pre-existing medical condition.
Would you like to have clear healthy nails again? Without having to take potentially toxic oral medication? Lance Penn Podiatrist explains the different fungal nail treatment options
- Blue (405nm), this acts directly and specifically upon the fungus and causes changes in its outer wall, this weakens it significantly, allowing the body’s immune system to attack and destroy it.
- Red (635nm), is acting upon the body’s natural immune cells – fortifying them, thus making them more active and able to neutralise and destroy the weakened fungus. In addition the red light can stimulate and improve blood flow; this additional blood flow brings nutrients and additional immune cells to the affected area speeding up the treatment process.
The treatment will last for 12 minutes and you will feel no sensation – it is a pain free process, the lasers are not harmful to you in any way as they use very low power settings. The treatment will be repeated at weekly intervals, the number of treatments depend upon the severity of your infection.
You do not have to take any oral medication or apply any topical agents during the treatment, however strict feet hygiene protocols must be adhered to in order to prevent re-infection.
