Laser Fungus Nail Treatment in Rotherham

What is Nail Fungus?

Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are very common affecting up to one in ten of the UK population. Toenail fungus is an infection underneath the surface of the nail caused by fungi.

When the tiny organisms take hold, the nail often becomes darker in color and smells foul. Debris may collect beneath the nail plate, white marks frequently appear on the nail plate, and the infection is capable of spreading to other toenails, the skin, or even the fingernails. If ignored, the infection can spread and possibly impair your ability to work or even walk.

The resulting thicker nails are difficult to trim and make walking painful when wearing shoes. Onychomycosis can also be accompanied by a secondary bacterial or yeast infection in or about the nail plate.

Some prescription medications have side effects and therefore are not always the best treatment option. Another option is surgery to remove the nail; this is not a popular option either. Laser therapy to treat the disease is gaining popularity as a means to achieve a temporary increase in clear nail.

Cost is £125 for the first laser session, follow up treatments priced at £75 session. It’s recommended a minimum of two.
