Onychomycosis in
Nerja

The Q-Switched laser helps treat onychomycosis by precisely and safely targeting nail fungus without damaging healthy tissue.

01

Fungal nail treatment (onychomycosis)

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the nails, causing changes in colour, thickening, brittleness or deformity. Q-Switched laser treatment uses highly precise light energy to target the microorganism responsible for the infection without damaging the nail or surrounding skin. The laser energy creates an unfavourable environment for the fungus, helping to eliminate it gradually.

This procedure is safe and non-invasive, and encourages healthy nail regrowth over the following months.

Benefits

Laser treatment for onychomycosis directly targets the infection without the need for systemic medication in many cases. It is a quick, safe and non-invasive procedure that helps eliminate the fungus gradually. It also encourages nail regeneration and improves its appearance. Over time, the nail grows stronger, healthier and more even, reducing the brittleness, thickening and colour changes characteristic of this infection.
