Fungal Nails & Clearanail Treatment

Where there is life, there is fungus & this is nowhere more apparent on feet, presenting as fungal (mycotic) nails & athlete’s foot (Tinea Pedis).

Fungal spores can be found all around us in damp atmospheres, soil, well used footwear & usually appears on the feet as a skin infection initially (athlete’s foot). When there is damage or small entry points into the toe-nails, the fungal spores can quickly spread from the skin & the infection spreads & attaches to the bed of the nail.

Because the nail plate shields the growth of the fungal spores, up until recently it has been extremely difficult if not impossible for topical anti-fungal preparations to penetrate the nail plate & reach the infected areas.
         
Now however with this new innovative piece of equipment, Clearanail®, I am able to treat fungal nails effectively & with long term success.

The CLEARANAIL® treatment consists of a micro drill used to drill multiple, very small holes into the nail plate through to the nail bed in order for the anti-fungal remedies to penetrate efficiently to the infection source. Terbinafine 1% spray (available as Lamisil or other proprietary brands) is used daily following the micro drill procedure & within 2-4 weeks long standing fungal nail conditions should begin to appear ‘back to normal’ again.

With careful aftercare & review by myself in the clinic, once the new nail has grown forward, good footwear hygiene & regular use of anti-fungal products should ensure fungal-free nails in the future.

Please refer to the Clearanail® website, www.clearanail.com for further information.
