Treatment of Onychomycosis

IPL to the Rescue: Rapid Relief for Onychomycosis

Dealing with a nail plate infected by a fungus poses a formidable challenge, especially when it comes to eradicating fungal bodies deeply embedded within the layers of the nail plate.

The Dilemma:

Known methods often fall short in effectiveness due to the high density of the nail plate, leading to low drug concentration that takes a long time to reach the affected area. Enter the treatment of onychomycosis using IPL devices, a revolutionary solution to this persistent problem.

The Power of Photothermolysis:

Photothermolysis swiftly addresses the challenge of onychomycosis by improving the condition of the affected nail plate. The physiology of this process is intriguing – during the life of fungal bodies, there's a minimal amount of fluid around them containing porphyrins, complex organic molecules and waste products of fungi. When exposed to intense light of a specific wavelength, powerful disinfecting agents are released from these porphyrin molecules, effectively killing fungal bodies within the layers of the nail plate. This leads to a potent sanation of the fungal plates, a result unparalleled by other known treatment methods. Remarkably, this destruction of fungal bodies occurs without the need for additional chemicals and without irritating the skin.

Visual Transformation:

The effect is maximal, with visually noticeable improvement of the nail plate within a relatively short period. The recommended course comprises 6-10 treatments, spaced one week apart. This method is crucial in the treatment of onychomycosis and complements general and local procedures, enhancing their results. The treatment is painless, ensuring a comfortable experience without any side effects.
