Before treatment, it should therefore be confirmed whether a fungal infection is actually present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diagnosis may be confirmed using microscopic examination, fungal culture or other appropriate diagnostic methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nail fungus treatment with Candela Nd:YAG laser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>Era Esthetic Avenue Frankfurt<\/strong>, we use the <strong>GentleMax Pro laser systems by Candela Medical<\/strong>. These systems combine two different laser wavelengths: Alexandrite 755 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the treatment of nail fungus, the <strong>1064 nm Nd:YAG technology<\/strong> is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The laser energy penetrates the nail plate and generates controlled heating in the treatment area. The aim is to create conditions that interfere with the growth of the fungi responsible for the infection and support the healthy regrowth of the nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surrounding skin is specifically protected during treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does laser treatment for nail fungus work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before treatment, the affected nails are assessed and an individual treatment plan is determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nail polish and artificial nails must be completely removed before treatment. Severely thickened nails may be appropriately prepared beforehand if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the procedure, the Nd:YAG laser is applied systematically over the affected nail plates. This creates controlled heating, which may be felt as a noticeable sensation of warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treatment time depends on the number of affected nails and is generally short. No extended downtime is usually required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many treatments are required?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nail fungus is often a persistent infection. For this reason, several treatments may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, <strong>3\u20134 laser treatments<\/strong> are planned. More sessions may be necessary in cases of more extensive or long-standing nail fungus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact number of treatments and the intervals between sessions are determined individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the already damaged part of the nail does not disappear immediately, the result becomes visible as a healthy nail grows out. Fingernails grow faster than toenails, while complete regrowth of a toenail can take many months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combination with other treatment methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the individual findings, laser treatment can be combined with topical or systemic antifungal therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most appropriate treatment or combination depends on factors such as the number of affected nails, the extent of changes to the nail plate and how far the infection has spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The treatment plan is therefore determined individually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you know before treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nail polish and artificial nails should be completely removed before laser treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If tests for nail fungus have already been performed, the available results should be brought to the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any existing antifungal treatment should not be discontinued or changed without professional advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you know after treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Normal daily activities can generally be resumed immediately after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consistent nail and foot hygiene is also important for long-term treatment success. Shoes and socks should be kept dry, and nail care instruments should not be shared with other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If additional topical or systemic antifungal therapy has been recommended, it should be continued according to the individual treatment plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thickened, discoloured, brittle or irregular nails may indicate a fungal nail infection.
