frequently asked questions
Who can be affected?
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.
What are the symptoms of nail fungus?
- 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
Who can be treated?
All skin and nail types can be treated.
How does the treatment work?
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
How long does the treatment take?
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
How many sessions do I need?
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
Do I need to take special precautions before and after 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
Does it hurt?
Not at all, it’s the same sensation as “gentle warmth”
How can I be sure Ellipse is safe and effective?
Clinical trials documenting Ellipse’s safety and effectiveness were carried out by leading doctors prior to the launch of the treatments, and these were published in respected, referenced medical journals. You are welcome to view these scientific papers on the Ellipse website at www.ellipse.com.

Hi, my name is Jean-Claude. I’ve been coming to this clinic for nearly a year now and I must say I’m more, more, more than satisfied. I’ve been having Kiloid for nearly 5 or 6 years and I’ve been everywhere to cure it and I’ve never had someone to help me. Since I’ve come in here, I see a big, big improvement. And to be honest with you, it’s not the medication they’re doing me, but it’s the people here. They are so professional and they’re so nice. They’ve been talking to me, make me feel like I’m okay already. And they make me bring me a new feel of life because there was a point I wanted to kill myself. because of the killer eat and I lost hope and since I came here I mean everything changed my life changed I’m happy to leave and I don’t know it’s amazing thank you.

Incredibly happy with my gummy smile fix. It was my first time getting a cosmetic procedure and the LCC made me feel incredibly comfortable. Thank-you to Dr Johnson who walked me through the procedure ( which was incredibly fast and pain free!) and a massive thank you to Rahena! Your customer service was exceptional and made me feel really assured and comfortable. Will definitely be recommending the LCC to everyone. Incredibly professional and well priced clinic. I can already see a difference in my smile!
