Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis) Treatment Overview
|
A fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) is a common condition affecting nails on the hands or feet. It may occur on one part of a nail, the whole of a nail, or on several nails.
Nails affected by onychomycosis lift from the nail bed, feel thicker or more brittle than usual, and have an unpleasant odor. This condition may be uncomfortable, affect your self-confidence, and interfere with daily activities. Astra Medi Spa’s onychomycosis treatment can help! Our experts use the Syneron Gentle Pro Nd: YAG Laser Series handpiece to combat one or more fungal nails. This laser raises the temperature underneath the affected nail(s) to inhibit the fungal growth and leave the nails with a clearer, healthier appearance. |

Frequently Asked Quesitons
What causes nail fungus infections?
While fungi are present in different areas of the body, it only becomes a problem when it overgrows and leads to a fungal infection.
You may be more susceptible to nail fungus infections if you have a condition affecting your circulation, wear fake nails, suffer an injury on or around a nail, or have a weakened immune system. Wearing closed-toe shoes (e.g. sneakers) for extended periods on a regular basis can contribute, too.

What are the symptoms of nail fungus infections?
As fungal infections grow gradually, you may not notice any change in your fingernails or toenails until the onychomycosis has taken hold.
Common symptoms include a slight yellowing of the nail, the nail lifting from the nail bed, an unpleasant odor, and a thickening or brittleness in the affected nails.

How long does the onychomycosis treatment take?
This treatment is typically brief, but the duration depends on the number of nails affected and the severity of the condition. Each nail should take approximately 10 minutes to treat, but we’ll provide an accurate estimation during your consultation.
Will my onychomycosis treatment be painful?
Our onychomycosis treatment is usually painless. You may feel your nails becoming warmer as the laser raises the temperature, but this generally causes no discomfort.
