Nail fungus
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common disease affecting both fingernails and toenails. It manifests itself through thickening, discoloration, and brittleness of the nail. Without treatment, the condition gradually worsens and can cause pain and spread infection. At the Vasmedic clinic, we offer modern diagnostics and effective treatment of nail fungus, including gentle laser treatment.
How can you recognize nail fungus?
Typical symptoms include:
- yellow, white, or brown discoloration of the nail,
- thickening and deformation of the nail,
- brittleness and crumbling,
- pain when walking or applying pressure,
- spread of infection to other nails or skin.
Causes of fungus
- visits to public swimming pools, saunas, and showers,
- excessive sweating of the feet,
- wearing tight and non-breathable shoes,
- nail injury,
- weakened immunity or diabetes.
Diagnosis and treatment at the Vasmedic clinic
Treatment begins with a dermatological examination and, if necessary, laboratory tests to determine the cause of the infection. Based on the results, we recommend:
- local treatment – special antifungal solutions or lacquers,
- systemic treatment – tablets in more severe cases,
- laser therapy – a modern method in which laser light penetrates the nail and destroys fungal microorganisms without damaging the surrounding tissue,
- combined treatment – a combination of topical preparations, medications, and laser for the best results.
Advantages of laser treatment for nail fungus
- non-invasive and painless,
- no side effects on the liver (unlike tablets),
- quick procedure,
- highly effective with repeated treatment.
