Fungal nails are a common condition that can cause discolouration, embarrassment, pain and skin infection. Tinea that commonly occurs on the skin of the feet and between the toes can also cause these unsightly nail infections.
We are proud to introduce a new and proven technology to our clinic which has been used in the United Kingdom for some years with great success. The technique involves drilling many holes in the nail approximately 0.4 mm deep so that an appropriate anti fungal can be applied to the nail and actually penetrate to the nail bed where the fungus thrives. Client often persist with application of anti fungal without success owing to this fact.
The specially designed computer controlled drill ensure we can penetrate the nail without penetrating your toe. No pain no bleeding.
Call now for an appointment to have your nails assessed.
