While discoloured or thickened nails can suggest a fungal infection, other conditions can have a similar appearance. The only way to know for sure is through testing. That's why we offer our quick 5-minute test right here in the clinic - no waiting for lab results!
Just 5 minutes! Unlike traditional testing that requires sending samples to a lab, our in-clinic test gives you immediate results so we can start treatment straight away.
This depends on several factors including how many nails are affected, the severity of the infection, and your overall health. We offer multiple options including K-Laser therapy, topical treatments like Emtrix, and more advanced options like Lacuna treatment.
Each K-Laser session takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of nails being treated. A course of sessions is required, spread over several months, to achieve the best results. Ask about our K Laser package for full details.
With proper treatment and patience, many people see significant improvement. Remember that nails grow slowly - it can take up to 12 months months to see the full results as the healthy nail grows through. And while the discolouration should improve, the nail bed may be left damaged by the infection and so clear, healthy nails may still seem thicker.
This depends on which treatment you're having. We'll advise you specifically, but generally, during active treatment, it's better to leave nails natural so we can monitor progress.
We'll give you specific prevention advice, but key tips include keeping feet dry, using anti-fungal sprays in shoes, and being careful in public swimming pools and changing rooms.
Many private health insurance schemes offer coverage for podiatry treatments. We can provide detailed receipts for you to claim through your provider's cashback scheme, but we advise checking with them before commencing treatment.
Don't let fungal nails affect your confidence any longer. With our quick diagnosis and range of treatment options, you can start your journey to healthier nails today.
We'll make sure you receive the care you need in our welcoming clinic, with free parking right outside for added convenience.
