Nail onychomycosis are a common problem that can cause nail deformation, thickening, and pain. While traditional medication-based treatments can be lengthy, the ND:YAG laser method has become a modern and effective solution — fast, safe, and with minimal discomfort.
How the ND:YAG Laser Works
The ND:YAG laser (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) destroys fungal mycelium and prevents its spread to neighboring nails or the foot.
How the Treatment Is Performed
- A precise diagnosis of the fungal infection is made, and medication treatment is prescribed.
- The ND:YAG laser is used as an adjunct therapy, always combined with medication.
- The procedure is non-invasive, pain-free, and comfortable.
- Each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes, and the course of treatment depends on the severity of the infection (usually up to 4 sessions with 25–30 day intervals).
At the dermatology department of Optimum, nail fungus treatment is performed using the Brazilian Vydence Long Pulse laser device.
The ND:YAG laser method is considered today the most effective, safe, and modern solution for treating onychomycosis. It provides fast results, long-lasting protection, and minimal discomfort for the patient.
