Fungal Nail Infection Treatment
Treatment of fungal nail infections is an innovative and efficient procedure that uses CO2 laser to solve one of the most prevalent nail conditions, which can have a big impact on the health and beauty of the foot. Onychomycosis, another name for fungal nail infections, is characterised by structural and colour changes in the nails, they can be brittle, yellow, and thickened, also it can be painful or uncomfortable.
Traditional methods of treatments, such antifungal lotions or pills, frequently requiew a long time of use and may be less successful, particularly when the fungus is deep under the nail plate. CO2 laser therapy is a modern method of treatment that is painless and very effective. The laser can be more effective because it can pass through the nail plate and destroy fungal cells without damaging seroundin healthy skin or nails. This makes it one of the safest and most successful treatment options with quick solution.

* After completing the course of treatments, the results are long-lasting, and the patient can enjoy healthy, fungus-free nails for several years. However, to ensure lasting effects, it is important to follow foot care recommendations and take steps to prevent re-infection.
How does Fungal Nail Infection Treatment work?
The principle of using a CO2 laser to treat fungal nail infections is to employ focused laser radiation that can pass through the nail plate and into the tissue that is infected. This laser produced heat energy that efficiently destroyed Fungal cells without endangering the nearby healthy tissue. The unique feature of the CO2 laser is its ability to penetrate deeply into the nail, where the infection often develops, making it difficult to treat with traditional methods such as creams or pills. By rupturing the fungal cell membranes, the laser energy eradicates the infection’s source.
The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require anaesthesia, because most patients only feel a slight warmth or discomfort. The laser does not damage healthy tissue, making it a safe and effective method for patients with fungal infections. The fungus is totally destroyed after a few treatments, and new, healthy nails gradually start to grow.
Consultation with a specialist
Before starting the procedure we advise to have a consultation with our specialist, who will analyse your skin condition and determine the best locations for treatment.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Prior to the procedure, it’s critical to keep your skin well hydrated. Make sure you apply your usual moisturiser and stay hydrated.
Avoid Sun Exposure
For at least 2-4 weeks before the procedure, it is important to avoid both direct sun exposure and tanning (both natural and artificial). Skin that has been sunburned or tanned may be more susceptible to problems.
Keeping Nails Clean and Dry
Before the procedure, it is important to keep the nails clean and avoid excessive moisture, as this can affect the effectiveness of the laser treatment.
Hydration
Use calming and moisturising cosmetics on the skin near treatment area. This will improve the procedure’s effectiveness and help keep the moisture level of your skin.
Avoid clear heat treatments
Saunas, hot baths and other treatments that could result in skin overheating should be avoided for a 2 days after the procedure
Avoid the sun
Avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen with SPF 30+ is critical for at least 4-6 weeks after the procedure to prevent hyperpigmentation or skin damage as the treated skin heals.
Avoid Physical Touching or Scratching
Refrain from touching or scratching the treated area, as this can introduce bacteria or cause irritation and slow down the healing process.
Maintaining Hygiene
After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid places where infections can be contracted, such as swimming pools or public showers.

Active Infections or Inflammation

Recent Sun Exposure
Tanned or sunburned skin is more sensitive and can react poorly to the laser. It’s recommended to avoid the procedure if you’ve had significant sun exposure in the last 2–4 weeks.
Skin Infections and Open Wounds
Carbon Laser Peel is not recommended for anyone with any infections, wounds, cuts, or skin damage because these conditions could worsen the treatment.
Immunosuppressive Medications or Conditions
Bleeding Disorders
People who take blood thinners (such as aspirin or warfarin) or have blood clotting or bleeding disorders should exercise caution because these diseases can impair the skin’s ability to recover.
Recent Laser Procedures
Systemic Diseases
Diabetes and other illnesses might impede healing and raise the possibility of complications. It is imperative to include a recommendation for people with chronic diseases to speak with our specialist.
Fungal Infections Spread to Other Parts of the Body
In cases of widespread fungal infections, a comprehensive approach to treatment should be considered.
Age Restriction
