Hand and Foot Fungus Removal

Hand and Toenail Fungus Removal at Kuzmar Clinic: Advanced Solution for Onychomycosis

Onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails, affects a significant percentage of the world's population. Although traditional treatments with topical or oral medications are common, they can often present limitations such as side effects or contraindications, leading to therapeutic failure. At Kuzmar Clinic, we offer an effective and advanced solution using medical laser technology to treat and eliminate this persistent infection.

What Does Laser Fungus Removal Treatment Involve?

Our approach is based on the power of laser technology to combat onychomycosis. The laser emits energy that penetrates the nail and is absorbed by the fungal pigment, generating heat. This heat is sufficient to destroy the fungus and its spores without damaging the surrounding nail tissue or skin. It is a procedure that is:

Noninvasive: It does not require surgery or incisions.

Precise: It acts directly on the fungus.

Safe: With a low risk of side effects compared to oral treatments.

Indications: Who Can Benefit from This Treatment?

This treatment is ideal for people suffering from onychomycosis who:

• Have experienced failure with topical or oral antifungal treatments.

• Are looking for an alternative to medications due to contraindications or side effects.

• Want a fast and effective treatment to eliminate nail fungus.

• Experience discoloration, thickening, brittleness, or deformation of the nails due to the fungal infection.

Techniques Used: Precision and Effectiveness

At Kuzmar Clinic, we use state-of-the-art medical lasers specifically designed for the treatment of onychomycosis. The procedure is performed as follows:

1. Evaluation: Our specialist will examine the infected nail to confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

2. Preparation: The area will be cleaned and, if necessary, the nail will be thinned to allow for better laser penetration.

3. Laser Application: The laser beam is applied directly to the nail and nail bed, generating heat to eradicate the fungus. The patient may feel a mild heat or stinging sensation during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated and does not require anesthesia.

4. Repeat Sessions: Several sessions, spaced out over time, are generally required to ensure complete elimination of the fungus and allow for the growth of a healthy nail. The number of sessions will depend on the severity and extent of the infection.

This treatment can be used as a sole treatment or as an adjuvant (complement) to pharmacological treatment, improving the overall success rate.

Treatment Time and Expected Results

Each laser treatment session is relatively quick, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes per foot or hand, depending on the number of nails affected.

The expected results are the gradual elimination of the fungal infection as the healthy nail grows out. You won't see an immediate change in the appearance of the damaged nail, as the laser targets the existing fungus, and the nail should grow out without the infection. The healthy nail will begin to become visible from the nail bed in the weeks or months after starting treatment. Full recovery may take several months (6-12 months for toenails) as the affected nail is replaced by a new, healthy one.

Advantages

• High Efficacy: It is one of the most effective options for treating onychomycosis, especially in resistant cases.

• Safe: It minimizes the risks and side effects associated with oral medications.

• No downtime: You can resume your daily activities immediately after the session.

• Noninvasive and virtually painless: Most patients only feel mild heat.

• Ideal complement: It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments to maximize results.

• Improved aesthetics and health: It contributes to the recovery of healthy nails with an improved aesthetic appearance.
