Fungal nail problem cause distress to patients and can be difficult to treat. Over the counter and topical treatments can’t get to the problem as the fungus proliferates beneath the impenetrable nail plate made of keratin and many people don’t want to take oral anti-fungal medication for the prolonged period of time required to treat the problem.
Fungal nail problems generally wont affect your health but many patients are often concerned about their appearance and over time the infection can spread to affect all the nails and the skin.
Unfortunately some people are just more prone to fungal skin and nail infections than others.
At Cheshire Foot Clinic, one of the methods we use to treat fungal nails is a Remy Class IV medical laser device approved by the FDA.
Treatment is over a 4 month period, and is painless except for feelings of heat when the laser is applied.
Before treatment we assess you, your medical history and we also test your nail(s) to check that the changes are fungal prior to treatment. During the treatment period we provide you with topical treatment to use at home between your visits to us and support you with advice on preventing re-infection.
