Laser Fungal Nail Treatment
Laser fungal nail treatment is a non-toxic option for treating nail fungus, using a laser on the infected nail. Mike Lee Laser & Skin Clinic offers it in Newton-le-Willows. The clinic says most people need just one session, though some need more depending on how severe the infection is.
Experience Effective Removal
Fungal nail infections are very common but can be dangerous if left untreated; the complete nail plate may become infected with the potential loss of the nail. New laser treatments offer an easy non-toxic option. Clinical studies show that the laser kills toenail fungus and promotes clear nail growth with a single treatment in more than 80% of cases. The laser treatment is safe, effective, and most patients improve usually after their first treatment.
Most clients describe the treatment as pain-free, with only a mild heat sensation felt throughout. This allows us to effectively treat the infection thoroughly and effectively. Most people respond excellently to the treatment and are able to achieve the result they’re looking for from just 1 session, however, please be aware sometimes more may be required depending on the severity of the infection. It is far easier to treat in the earlier stages of the infection as the infection can intensify if left untreated and even spread across to the nearby areas (toes, etc…)
Innovative Laser Treatment
Some traditional home remedies can work for some clients whilst others may only temporarily reduce either the infection or the symptoms. Whilst we know this can be very helpful, laser is one of the most impactful methods of treatment and the treatment itself can sometimes immediately improve any discolouration too.
What you should expect following your session is some mild redness, sometimes mild sensitivity and this is completely normal. Please be aware that, as the quality of the nail has been compromised by the infection, sometimes the true results can only be seen as the new nail starts to grow out. We therefore recommend trimming regularly following your treatment. For more information on this and any other of our services, please get in touch with a member of the team.

After a free consultation, the laser is used on the affected nail. The clinic says clients mostly find it free of pain, noticing only some gentle warmth. You may notice mild redness or sensitivity afterwards, which the clinic describes as normal. Many people need only one session, but more may be required for severe infections.

Aftercare
The clinic says mild redness and sometimes mild sensitivity after your session are normal.
