Laser treatment

The first signs of nail fungus can be noticed if the plates of your nails lose their healthy shine, spots appear on them or there is a change in color (yellow, gray, brown or green), nail plates get thinner or on the contrary they get thicker, and under the nail plates there form keratinized tissues. Itching, inflammation and redness should also be a signal for you that it is time to see a doctor immediately. And after diagnosis and confirmation of a nail fungus – proceed with treatment. The sooner you start it, the better the result will be. Especially if we turn to modern laser technologies, which have already proven their clinical effectiveness in the treatment of onychomycosis.

In Aesthetic Medicine Clinic Myroslava Novosilska, we use Harmony XL Pro platform with the most cutting-edge lasers in the world and the only one in Ukraine for treatment of nail fungus. The most effective for such procedures is the use of ClearLift (4D). This is a high-power Q-Switch ND: YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, which provides a unique intensive fractional non-ablative skin treatment without pain and subsequent rehabilitation. And in combination with the long-pulse neodymium ND: YAG laser LP 1064 nm featuring contact cooling, it provides excellent clinical results in treatment of onychomycosis.

The feature of the second laser is a longer pulse duration, which provides more powerful heating and deeper penetration into the damaged areas that require treatment. The technology of simultaneous contact cooling, inbuilt in a pointer, cools down skin during the treatment procedure, thus minimizing risks of side effects and providing more comfortable treatment. Laser treatment of onychomycosis proved its efficiency: the statistic data show that complete recovery is achieved in 86,2% cases. The first results can be seen in 1 month after the treatment beginning.

ClearSkin is the first technology and the only one in Ukraine at the moment that combines non-ablative laser Er Glass 1540 nm with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum for fast and effective treatment.

Its influence:

• Suppresses inflammation of sebaceous glands
• Destruction of acne bacteria
• Decreased sebum (fat) secretion.

1 procedure is enough to partially reduce inflammation, smooth skin and return its healthy look.

The procedure is completely painless and does not cause any discomfort.

Guaranteed result, no injuries, you can keep going with your regular social activity immediately afterwards.

• Treatment immediately affects all components of the pathogenesis (“causes”) of acne, including excessive secretion of sebaceous glands.
• Treatment of almost all forms of acne, including pustular, moderate and severe cases, up to cases of cystic and acne conglobata.
• Improvement after the first treatment session
• Painless and safe treatment
