Fungal Nail Infections (Onychomycosis)
Fungal nail infections are common conditions that cause nails to become discolored, thick, and fragile. Understanding the source and symptoms is the first step toward effective clinical restoration.
What they are: Infections caused by microscopic organisms (fungi) that thrive in warm, moist environments.
Common symptoms: Yellow or brown discoloration, brittle texture, and debris buildup under the nail.
How they spread: Transmission often occurs in communal areas like pools or through shared personal care tools.

Fungal Nail Laser FAQ
How does laser treatment for fungal nails work?
The laser emits targeted light energy that penetrates the nail plate to reach the underlying infection. It heats and destroys the fungal spores without damaging the nail or surrounding skin.
How many sessions are typically needed?
Most patients require 3 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results, though this varies based on the severity of the infection.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients describe a warming sensation during the procedure. It is generally very comfortable and does not require anesthesia.
When will I see visible results?
Because the laser kills the fungus but doesn't remove existing damage, clear nail growth typically becomes visible as the new nail grows out, which takes several months.
