Fungal nail infections, or onychomycosis is the most prevalent cause of toe nail infection.
Many people find this condition embarassing but please be reassured we are used to treating these nails.
Fungi thrive in warm, dark and moist environments so our footwear are the perfect breeding ground. The infection source is the skin underneath the nail which causes damage to the nail, resulting in the thickened and often discoloured appearance.
During your initial consultation, we can perform a 5-minute fungal nail test* which offers immediate results. From this we provide a comprehensive range of treatements tailor made for you to manage fungal nail infections affectively. These can range from topical treatments we have available in the clinic to the Lacuna method, which is a new and innovative treatment. In some cases we may recommend removal of the nail(s) and topical treatment whilst the new nail grows.
*Fungal Nail Test not included in the consultation fee
The Lacuna Method
This involves drilling micro holes in to the nail plate which allows anti-fungal preparations provided to pool under the nail, treating the infection at its source.
These treatmenta are not a quick fix. Treatment length and suitability can vary depending on overall severity of the infection.
