Onychomycosis

Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by fungi. It can damage the nail bed and plate, leading to changes in nail color, thickness, and texture.

Symptoms of onychomycosis include:

• Discoloration of the nail (yellowish, whitish, or brown)
• Thickened or brittle nails
• Changes in nail shape or texture
• Pain or discomfort in the affected nail area

Treatment for onychomycosis may include topical antifungal medications, oral antifungal drugs, medicated nail polish, or laser therapy. The most effective method is often considered to be laser treatment with laser.

Laser treatment targets the fungi responsible for onychomycosis using a specialized laser beam. The laser energy penetrates the nail and destroys the fungal cells without causing damage to the surrounding tissue.

The number of laser treatment sessions required depends on the severity of the infection and individual response to treatment. Typically, multiple sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.

Laser treatment for onychomycosis is generally well-tolerated and painless. Patients may experience a mild warming sensation during the procedure, but there is no downtime, and normal activities can be resumed immediately afterward.
