Overview

Tackling Persistent Fungal Nails

Fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) turns nails yellow or brown, thickens them and makes them brittle. It's common, harmless in most people, but frustratingly hard to shift - topical lacquers struggle to penetrate the nail, and oral antifungals aren't right for everyone.

Laser therapy passes energy through the nail to target the fungus in and beneath the nail plate. It's done in-clinic with no medication and no downtime. Nails grow slowly, so the healthy appearance emerges gradually as new nail replaces the affected part over the following months.

Confirming It's Actually Fungal

Thick, discoloured nails aren't always fungal - trauma, psoriasis and other conditions can look identical. We assess the nail first, and where it will change the plan we can arrange testing, so laser is used on nails that will genuinely benefit rather than on the wrong problem.

MediPedi and KeryFlex Restoration

Alongside laser we offer two options that improve how the nail looks and feels while treatment takes effect. A MediPedi (medical pedicure) is a clinical, hygienic pedicure performed by a podiatrist - reducing thickened nail, clearing debris and caring for the surrounding skin. KeryFlex nail restoration applies a flexible, natural-looking resin over a damaged nail to restore a normal appearance for special occasions or day-to-day confidence. Neither is a cure on its own, but both make a real difference to appearance during the months a nail takes to recover.

How It Works

What to expect.

01

Assessment

We examine the nail, confirm the likely cause and arrange testing where it will change the plan.

02

Laser treatment

Laser energy is applied to the affected nails in-clinic. It's quick, needs no anaesthetic and has no downtime.

03

A short course

Fungal nails usually need a series of sessions, with the schedule set to your presentation.

04

Restore and review

MediPedi or KeryFlex can improve appearance meanwhile, and we review new nail growth over the following months.

Common Questions

Fungal Nail Laser Treatment FAQs

Does laser nail treatment hurt?

Most people feel only a warming sensation over the nail during treatment. There's no anaesthetic and no downtime - you can put your shoes back on and carry on with your day.

How long before the nail looks clear?

Because nails grow slowly, improvement appears gradually as healthy nail replaces the affected part - typically over several months for a toenail. We'll set realistic expectations at your assessment.

Is laser guaranteed to work?

No treatment for fungal nails is guaranteed, and results vary with how advanced the infection is. We'll give you an honest view of your likely outcome and combine laser with good nail care to improve the odds.

What is a MediPedi?

A MediPedi is a medical pedicure performed by a podiatrist in a clinical setting - reducing thickened nail, clearing debris and caring for the skin around the nail. It's hygienic and safe, including for people with diabetes or at-risk feet.
