Nail fungal infection treatment

Fungal nail infections if mild can be treated with topical paint on nail lacquers. Success rates are variable and the treatment takes many months.

Tablet treatments can take up to six month, but is more successful, and also suitable for more severe infection. Success rates are between 40-80% in clinical trials.

Some types of fungus such as moulds, however, do not respond to tablet treatment. The tablets commonly cause side-effects and for some people require blood test monitoring in case of drug-induced liver inflammation.

Initial assessment is by our laser practitioner. Onward private referral to a dermatologist or back to your GP may be required if the diagnosis is not nail fungal infection.

It is the responsibility of the client to remove his or her own nail varnish completely before booking an assessment or treatment appointment.

A laser treatment course of 4 treatments (one each week) has over an 80% success rate and several nails can be treated at each treatment session. We can also provide you with advice to prevent re-infection.

Price

£50 per treatment of up to five nails. £200 per treatment course.
£100 per treatment of more than five nails. £400 per treatment course.

Laser treatment available at Exeter Medical only. Other treatment options include topical anti-fungal and tablet treatments. A consultation may be required to work out what is best for you.
