The procedure

What does it involve this treatment?

Here's an explanation of the treatment for nail disorders: The evaluation of the nail involves a clinical examination, onychoscopy, and, when necessary, additional tests to identify the cause.

Nail disorders include brittle nails, leukonychia, onycholysis, longitudinal ridges, ingrown nails, and discoloration, among others. During the consultation, we perform a systematic evaluation of the nail plate, nail bed, and nail matrix to guide the diagnosis. Based on the findings, we determine whether to prescribe a topical treatment, address the underlying cause, or perform a minor outpatient procedure. The key is to act early to prevent permanent damage to the nail matrix and restore the nail to health.

Technology used: Onychoscopy with a contact dermatoscope, prescription keratolytics, and nail reconstruction regimens.

Frequently Asked Questions

We resolve your doubts before booking your first appointment with our team.

Yes. With a diagnosis of the cause, appropriate topical treatment, and daily care, the nail gradually regains its strength.

It may be a sign of trauma, nutritional deficiencies, or infection. Onychoscopy allows for an accurate determination of the cause.

Fingernails grow back in 3 to 6 months and toenails in 9 to 12 months, which is why the results are gradual.

No. Nail procedures performed in the office are carried out using gentle techniques and, when necessary, with local anesthesia.

They are not recommended during treatment, as they prevent the nail from getting oxygen and can lead to infections.

In most cases, two sessions are sufficient: an initial session for diagnosis and treatment, and a follow-up session to monitor progress.

The causes of nail disorders vary from case to case: fungal infections, trauma, systemic conditions, or other factors. Only a medical evaluation can correctly identify the cause.

The diagnosis is made during a clinic visit through a clinical examination of the nail and, when necessary, additional tests. The evaluation determines the most appropriate course of treatment.

The duration depends on the type of condition and each person's response. Your doctor will provide you with a treatment plan that includes realistic timelines after the evaluation.
