• - thickening and elevation of the plate
• - jagged edges, brittleness and weakening of the nail plate
• - pain in the nails causing discomfort when walking or working with your hands.

Mechanism of action
The treatment of laser removal of onychomycosis is based on irradiating the plate with a laser beam. The laser waves are bactericidal and fungicidal, and stimulate the immune processes of the nail.

The light beam illuminates the entire affected nails, also acting on the nail shaft and matrix. The device does not touch the surface of the nail, but it is moved about 1-2 cm above the plate. The laser light penetrates the nail plate, eliminating the fungi underneath it. It does not damage the nail itself or the skin surrounding it.

Number and frequency of treatments
The therapy is performed in a series: usually 2-3 treatments at intervals of approx. 14 days, another 3-5 treatments every approx. 30 days.

Advantages of the method

• - a few short treatments allow you to get rid of the problem, after the therapy, the process of full reconstruction of the nail plate and new nail regrowth begins
• - the therapy is painless and contactless, without additional regeneration or healing time,
• - allows new nails to grow without side effects.

Effects
Treatment effects are not immediate. Laser therapy enables the gradual reconstruction and regrowth of healthy nails. The final effect is related to the cycle of complete regrowth of the nail, which is 5-6 months for fingernails and 12-18 months for toenails. After this period, we can enjoy healthy, bright, simple and aesthetically pleasing nails.
