Well-groomed feet and nails are the first sign of hygiene. However, even when being hygienic it is possible to get a nail infection.
In our days, one of the most common infections is “Onychomycosis”. In other words, fungus, which is a known infection that affects fingernails and toenails. Onychomycosis develops from fungi that live in a moist, warm environment. It is more likely to get fungus from someone, yet there is also a chance to get a nail infection from the fungi that is already present in our body.
The main symptoms of onychomycosis involve yellow streaks under the nail, discoloured nails, buildup of skin pieces under the nail, and broken, thickened nails.
The following facts can be reasons of fungus development: diabetes, having artificial nails, swimming in public swimming pool, skin injury around the nail, and having moist toes for a significant period of time.
If you suffer from any of all of the above, ClearStepsTM is certainly a perfect solution for you!
ClearStepsTM is a non-invasive procedure created by Fotona, that includes a laser treatment that is passed over the infected nail and surrounding tissues. This process weakens and then kills the fungi because of producing a photo-thermal heating effect.
The number of treatments depends on the initial state of the nails, and individual`s resistance to the infection. However, it is proved that the significant results can be already observed after 3-4 visits, and the improvements might be seen after the first treatment. Each session is about 30 minutes long, which allows the laser beam to pass over 10 toenails.
The regular price is $300x per treatment, or $1000 per prepaid package of four.
Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Nothing here is medical advice — book a consultation and we will look at your case.
