IPL is a highly effective treatment in killing the infection that causes fungal nails on both hands and feet using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).  We use the Forma Light machines that safely deliver medical grade treatments. We can safely treat all skin types for fungal nails.

It is advisable for your nail to have been tested by your G.P.  You will need at minimum of 9 to 12 sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart and all nails are treated on the effected feet or hands to stop cross contamination.  Light and heat travel into the nail, subsequently killing the virus causing the fungal infection.  It is highly advisable that you regularly use a sanitizing foot spray between treatment sessions.  We recommend Mundo Sanitizing Hand and Foot Spray which we have available for you to purchase.

IPL fungal nail treatments are fairly simple procedure. The nails are cleaned and filed flat then a cooling IPL Gel is applied to protect the nail and surrounding skin. IPL light is used. We treat all toes to prevent any cross infection.  

Following the treatment, it is advisable to have your shoes sterilised and also purchase a supply of new socks – enough to change into a freshly laundered pair at least once every day. You need to be sure you keep your feet dry and sanitized between cleansing (bathing or showering) especially if you suffer from excessive sweating of the feet.  Your damaged nail will grow out leaving a new healthy nail in around 9 to 18 months.  You should see the damaged nail reducing as this happens.
