Foot care
There are various treatment methods that can be used. Whether external treatment is sufficient depends on the severity of the nail fungus. If the affected nail fungus is already very advanced, only cooperation with a doctor and a podiatrist certified in Switzerland can help.
The earlier the treatment begins, the quicker it will be successful. If a maximum of 3 nails are affected and no more than 70% of the nail surfaces are affected, special fungal nail polishes, ointments and tinctures can be used to treat the fungus. If fungal spores have already penetrated the nail bed, the nail that grows back will also be infected again and again. In this case, only drug treatment with tablets prescribed by the doctor can help.
First, the affected areas of the nail plate are carefully removed and thinned out with a small clipper. This makes the nail more permeable and better able to absorb the active ingredients of the antimycotics administered.
The treatment can take several months to over a year until the new nail is healthy and free of fungal infestation.
The customer must cooperate by regularly applying special nail colors. The daily application of a special foot cream is also necessary. Sufficient lipids and moisture stabilize the skin barrier.
Constant nail care is necessary so that the new nail plate can grow fungus-free.
Persistent and widespread nail fungus is often treated with tablets containing antifungal (antifungal) agents. For some patients, however, this systemic treatment is not possible - either because the drugs must not be taken or because they cause side effects.
Laser therapy for nail fungus is a promising alternative for those affected, as it has few side effects.
Laser therapy is often used to supplement drug treatment in order to shorten it and get rid of the fungus faster
How does laser treatment work? The laser heats the nail—not enough to destroy it, but enough to hit and kill the nail fungus spores.
Treatment with a nail fungus laser is primarily based on the severity of the symptoms. A nail fungus laser treatment usually extends over a few months, with sessions taking place one to four weeks apart. A session usually only lasts a few minutes. All affected nails are irradiated individually.
