The procedure

What does it involve this treatment?

Here's an explanation of the treatment for onychomycosis: The treatment combines topical therapy, mechanical removal of the affected nail, and, when necessary, supervised systemic medication.

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail that causes thickening, yellowish discoloration, and brittleness of the nail plate. During the consultation, we confirm the diagnosis through a mycological examination and determine the depth of the involvement. Based on the findings, we may begin treatment with topical antifungals or oral treatment under medical supervision.

Technology used: Direct mycological examination and a treatment plan involving systemic and/or topical antifungal medications.

  • check_circle Confirmed diagnosis — A mycological test that identifies the fungus before treatment begins.
  • check_circle Direct application — Topical medication applied directly to the nail.
  • check_circle Comprehensive Treatment — A combination of topical treatments and systemic therapy when indicated.
  • check_circle Healing Follow-Up — Follow-up visits to monitor the growth of the new nail until healing is confirmed.

The fungus can persist and cause a relapse. It is essential to complete the prescribed treatment sessions and follow the recommended care instructions.

The cause of onychomycosis varies from case to case: fungi, trauma, systemic conditions, or other factors. Only a medical evaluation can correctly identify the cause.
