Nail Fungus

Onychomycosis (nail fungus) can affect finger or toe nails. It becomes more common with age and certain other groups have a higher risk of developing the condition. Athletes, runners and active gym attenders who sweat more or use communal showers tend to develop it. It is also more common in patients who suffer with diabetes, athlete’s foot or who have circulation problems.

• Yellow streaks in the nail bed and on the underside of the nail
• A build up of debris under the nail
• A discoloured, thickened nail that may separate from the skin under the nail
• A powdery nail surface, as the infection gets worse
• A brittle and broken nail

All skin and nail types can be treated.

A series of flashes of infrared light is aimed across the whole nail, including the nail folds. This heats up and destroys the fungus that is present. To ensure complete coverage, the whole series of pulses is repeated four times and the individual flashes overlap each other

As fungus can spread from one nail to another, normally all ten nails are treated. For this reason the whole ten nails normally takes 15minutes to complete

Typically a course of 3-4 treatment sessions is necessary. We recommend a series of 4 sessions every 2-4 weeks followed by a follow up session 2 months after the last treatment

• Like any other treatment of nail fungus, Ellipse Nordlys Onychomycosis treatment is a treatment, not a cure. It treats the existing problem, but does not provide immunity against infection in the future
• Please make sure you remove any nail polish or gels before your session

Not at all, it’s the same sensation as “gentle warmth”
