Are you suffering from a fungal nail? Then our laser is the solution! A yellow or white discoloration, thickening, and brittle nail bed can be very bothersome and sometimes even painful.

The new revolutionary laser, the Quanta System Duetto MT EVO, kills the fungus in no time. How exactly does lasering work? The laser is a light source operating at a specific wavelength (Nd:YAG 1064 nm), which is absorbed by hemoglobin in the skin, heating the nail plate and killing the fungus. The affected part of the nail grows out and makes way for a healthy nail. Because the nails need to grow, the results will be visible after 3 to 6 months.

How many treatments are needed? The laser treatment must be repeated an average of four times, with a treatment frequency of two to three weeks.

The laser can be used for the following indications:

• Fungal nails (chalk nails)

You cannot undergo the treatment if you have the following indications and/or characteristics:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Epilepsy
• Acute active infections (herpes simplex/cold sores) in the treated area
• Medication (antibiotics, prednisone, penicillin, isotretinoin/roacuttane/vitamin A cream and St. John's wort)
• Fever
• Presence of a pacemaker
• Eczema and psoriasis in the treated area
• Scleroderma
• Tendency to keloid scars
• Raised lesions in the treated area (moles)
• Tattoos in the treatment area
• Sunburned skin
• Recent chemical peel/dermapen treatment in the treatment area
• Skin cancer, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in the past 5 years.

Always wait two weeks before scheduling a treatment after stopping certain medications. If you have any doubts about whether a particular medication could affect your treatment, please always contact us. 

You may undergo the treatment if you are using medication for fungal nails.

Aftercare

It's very important to dry your feet thoroughly after a shower or bath, including between your toes. Keep your feet dry. Wear clean, cotton or wool socks every day and well-ventilated, but not too tight shoes.

Wear slippers in areas where many people walk barefoot, such as shower rooms and swimming pools.

You can file a deformed nail or one that's causing problems with a pumice stone or file. Please also file your nail before each laser treatment.

In addition to the antifungal pills prescribed by your GP, you can also undergo laser treatments to optimize the results.
