Description
The fungus on the nail progresses slowly and cannot go away on its own, and over time it leads to a very ugly appearance of the nail, the appearance of an unpleasant smell and pain in the finger, and damage to the surrounding tissue. That is why treatment should be started as early as possible, because then the results are most favorable. Any delay in treatment and neglect of the problem will lead to deterioration with possible complications such as ingrowth or complete loss of the nail plate.
The laser procedure is short-term and painless. Laser light does not damage healthy tissue, but helps regeneration and healing. By evenly heating the deep structure of the nail plate, the laser destroys fungi, after which the body’s immune processes regenerate that place and a healthy nail grows. It is currently the safest treatment for the treatment of fungal nail diseases.
The laser suppresses infection, stimulates the immune system to fight infection, promotes better circulation in the foot, which in turn promotes faster nail growth, faster growth of a healthy nail reduces the risk of repeated infection.
Onychomycosis is the most common fungal infection that can affect toenails as well as hands, and is the cause of almost half of nail abnormalities. The basic characteristics of onychomycosis are nail color change, i.e. discoloration, and nail thickening. If the infection is not treated, the nail becomes brittle, painful and often unsightly, thus reducing the quality of life of the individual. The problem with this type of infection is also the exceptional rate of infectivity. It easily passes from person to person and is therefore difficult to deal with.
