Onychomycosis NDYAG - x6

Service Description

A fungal nail infection (Onychomycosis), also called tinea unguium, is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails is where the fungal microbe invades the nail bed. This condition causes fingernails or toenails to thicken, discolor, disfigure, and split. Although a fungal nail infection is a cosmetic concern, if left untreated toenails can become so thick that they press against the inside of the shoes, causing pressure, irritation, and pain. Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, so this type of environment can cause them to naturally overpopulate. At MALEEHACOSMETICS we are using a Medical Grade Laser Platform, which is a safe and effective device for the treatment of nails with onychomycosis/nail fungus per the manufacturing company. The laser will penetrate into the upper dermis, below the nail bed, to kill bacteria that cause the fungus. The full results of the treatment are generally seen 3-6 months after the treatment begins, due to slow nail growth. Pre Treatment Remove/Do not come to your appointment with nail polish on. Skin should be clean and product-free for your treatment. Trim nails and clean them with a nail brush. The skin surrounding nails should be shaved if hair growth is prominent. Spray all shoes with anti-fungal spray or disinfectant. Continue weekly for at least 4 weeks. Do not apply topical anti-fungal cream or powder 2 days prior to treatment. Come with sandals or an extra pair of socks to wear after treatment. (3-6 sessions is recommended)
