Onychomycosis treatment eliminates fungal nail infections and restores healthier, clearer nails. At King’s College Hospital London – Dubai, our dermatology specialists use advanced Fotona laser technology to target fungal organisms safely and effectively while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
What is onychomycosis?
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the fingernails or toenails. It commonly causes nail discoloration, thickening, brittleness, and separation from the nail bed. It is the most common nail infection and affects approximately 10% of the population.
The condition is more common in older adults and individuals with diabetes, HIV, or other conditions that weaken the immune system.
Common symptoms include:
- White, yellow, black, or green nail discoloration
- Thickened nails
- Nail deformity
- Brittle or crumbly nails
- Pain or discomfort
- Separation of the nail from the nail bed
- Unpleasant odor
- Chalky debris beneath the nail
Onychomycosis may be caused by dermatophytes, Candida yeast, or non-dermatophyte molds.
Who is a good candidate for onychomycosis treatment?
You may be a good candidate for onychomycosis treatment if you have a persistent fungal nail infection that has not responded to other therapies.
Treatment may be appropriate if you:
- Have stubborn nail fungus
- Want a non-invasive treatment option
- Would like healthier, clearer nails
- Feel self-conscious about the appearance of your nails
- Are looking for an effective treatment with minimal downtime
During your consultation, your dermatologist will assess the severity of the infection and determine whether Fotona laser treatment is the right solution for you.
What happens during treatment?
Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation and examination of the affected nails.
Before the laser procedure, the nail is typically filed to improve laser penetration. The Fotona laser is then applied across the infected nail and surrounding nail fold using multiple passes to ensure comprehensive treatment.
The laser delivers concentrated energy that penetrates the nail plate and destroys fungal organisms while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.
The procedure is quick, comfortable, and generally lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. Most patients experience only a mild warming sensation, and several treatment sessions may be recommended depending on the severity of the infection.
What results can you expect?
As the fungal infection clears, healthy nail growth gradually replaces the infected nail.
Benefits of treatment include:
- Effective elimination of fungal pathogens
- Non-invasive treatment
- Minimal discomfort
- No downtime
- Healthier, clearer nails
- Improved nail appearance
- Greater confidence
Results develop gradually as healthy nail tissue grows. Your dermatologist will provide aftercare instructions to help maximize the long-term success of your treatment.
