Male Nail Fungal Treatment
Male Laser Nail Fungal Infection Treatment In London
Fungal nail infection (Onychomycosis) is a common condition affecting every three in a hundred people in the UK. It makes the nail look discolored, thickened, and crumble at the edge. It can affect one or several nails. Lynton long pulsed ND: YAG Laser can effectively treat nail infection.
Why Fungal?
Common Reasons –
*Wrong Shoes
Shoes are a big problem for a lot as they are a closed environment where the toe can’t breathe very well.
Sports trainers are a problem as typically they get really hot sweaty and humid
Ballet type shoes worn commonly by women are also an issue as often socks are not worn
Lastly, synthetic shoes are bad news as they have no breathability
*Gel polish
As pretty as nail varnish and gel polish can look the problem is that the toenail cannot breathe especially through gel and acrylic
Sometimes the gel/acrylic will lift and water will get trapped inside… perfect environment for fungi!
Barefoot sports
We all know that the classic swimming pool where people so often walk around barefoot is a commonplace to pick up some sort of fungal problem on the feet
But anywhere such as yoga studio’s, spa areas or communal shower areas are just as bad as people walk barefoot in these humid environments.
Other reasons
- Age (Poor circulation)
Contagious – (living with someone who has one)
Repeated nail trauma/injury - Diabetes
Poor immune function
Inability to maintain good foot health
How can we treat Nail Fungal?
Pulses of light from the Lynton laser pass through the toenail to the fungus underneath. The fungus is irradiated without any damage to the surrounding nail or skin.
Depending on how many toes are being treated, the procedure will take 20-30 minutes.
Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable and no anaesthesia is required.
Pre – Male Nail Fungal Treatment
- Prior to treatment, we suggest you visit a Chiropodist/Podiatrist to confirm the diagnosis of the fungal nail and have the nail paired down if necessary.
- Before treatment, a patch test should be performed (normally done in the consultation). As usual wait 7 days
- There must be no nail varnish, gel polish, etc… The client should be advised to ideally bring a clean pair of socks to put on afterward
Male Nail Fungal Treatment Technique
- Clients will need a minimum of 3 treatments up to 6 Treatments are repeated every 2-4 weeks
- For successful treatment, the chain of infection must be broken so it is essential clients follow the aftercare advice
- Future treatments may be needed. It’s not a cure!
- Clients can see the result. It may take 6-12 months, as your nail grows out, the new nail growth should be clear.
- Clients can be reinfected with toenail fungus anywhere from your environment. Consult with your healthcare professional to understand how to prevent toenail fungus from reoccurring.

Aftercare
- Wash feet every day and dry well between the toes
- Wash beddings, socks, tights, towels, etc. on a 600 wash
- Always wear clean socks daily and wear clean socks at nighttime to prevent the fungus from spreading onto bed sheets
- Where possible, wear open-toe sandals or flip flops without socks whilst treatment continues (and as much as you can in the future)
- This allows the toenails to breathe
- If possible, throw old shoes and slipper away
