TREATMENT
Nail Fungal Treatment
Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a common condition that begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the fungal infection progresses, it may cause discolouration, thickening, and crumbling of the nail. This condition can affect several nails, making it essential to seek effective treatment to preserve the health and appearance of your nails.
How does nail fungus treatment work?
Nail fungus treatment at Avané Clinic involves a thorough diagnosis to identify the type of fungus and the severity of the infection. Our dermatologists then recommend appropriate treatments, which may include topical creams, antifungal pills, laser treatment, or, in severe cases, surgical removal of the affected nail. The goal is to eliminate the fungus and prevent recurrence.
What to expect during nail fungus treatment?
During your consultation, our dermatologists will examine your nails and possibly take a sample for lab analysis. Treatment options will be discussed, including topical or oral antifungals, and the expected duration of treatment. In some cases, removal of the damaged nail or skin may be necessary. Follow-up appointments ensure the infection is fully treated and to monitor for recurrence.
What are the results and benefits of nail fungus treatment?
Effective nail fungus treatment results in the elimination of the fungal infection, restoring the normal appearance and health of the nail. Patients often experience relief from pain and discomfort associated with thickened, discoloured nails. Successful treatment also reduces the risk of the fungus spreading to other nails or skin areas.
