Fungal Nail Infection Laser Treatment

wellynais — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:23:38 +0800

Fungal nail infections or ‘Onychomycosis’ affect a huge number of adults in Asia, with some estimates reporting it to be present in 60% of the adult population.

Given its widespread nature, there is relatively little public awareness of the disease and the treatment options, with many people visiting our clinic not even knowing that they have fungal toenails because it’s normally painless, and the symptoms may only be discoloration and thickening of the nail.

There are a number of ways of getting fungal toenails with one of the most common being the spread of other fungal infections like athletes foot from your toes to your nails. Other include walking in damp places where fungi live like swimming pools.

A damaged nail is often the way and starting point for any infection, and a poor general state of health can often increase the risk, as does a family history, increasing age and poor footwear choice.

Fungal Nail Treatment With Lasers

The Laser we use for this treatment is called Candela GentleYAG laser. Our Candela GentleYAG Laser operates at a very specific wavelength of 1064nm which clinical research shows during the months that follow post-treatment fungal spores are greatly reduced and in a majority of cases totally eradicated.

However we also like to combine treatments to provide the maximum chance of success. Combinations include the removal of fungus using a scalpel, topical treatments, and the laser.

Opt for laser treatment to get rid of tattoos

Laser treatment is safer compared to skin grafting or dermabrasion.

Those who wish to remove their tattoos should opt for laser treatment carried out by certified medical practitioners.

The treatment is safer compared to other methods such as skin grafting or demabrasion (removing the top layers of skin).

This method would require one or more visits to the clinic, depending on the colour and depth of the link penetration. In fact, this technology has existed for at least 20 years and the risk is minimal and there no report of skin infection.

Regarding the case of would-be policeman N.Dinesh Nair who died two weeks after he underwent a tattoo removal procedure at a private clinic in Sungai Petani, the initial probe revealed that Diniesh could have died of excessive bleeding due to skin infections and other medical complications.

It was reported that he had begged a private doctor to remove the tattoos as he had an impending police recruitment interview. On Dinesh dieath, it could be due to allergy to the medication and anesthetic.

Doctor would factor age, health conditions and skin allergy reaction before carrying out tattoo removal on customers using laser treatment. They will turn away those with diabetes, hormone imbalance and heart-related problems. Those who have sensitive skin and are allergic to certain medication will not be entertained as well.

Most of would-be brides and grooms are expressed regrets about their tattoos. Some women also wanted to remove their tattoos so that they look better wearing V-neck or low-backed clothes. There were also some who wanted to get rid of tattoos because the design no longer look nice on their flabby skin.

Black tattoos were easier to remove while pink and green were difficult. Doctor will normally advise customers to return a month after the first treatment. That's the recovery period needed before perform a second one.

Excessive Sweating of the Palms, Feet, Armpit and Face

Sweating is an automatic process. However some people experience excessive sweating believed to be caused by the over activity in the Sympathetic Nervous System. This excessive sweating is also known as Hyperhidrosis. An average 3% of the population silently suffers from Hyperhidrosis.

It most commonly affects the hands (palmar), feet (plantar) and armpit (axillae). It is known to make simple everyday tasks difficult or embarrassing to it’s sufferers. Studies have shown that treating hyperhidrosis will dramatically improve the sufferer’s quality of life.

Do you have the following symptoms?

Carry towels, extra clothes, powders etc to manage your sweating
Constantly think about excessive sweating
Sweat without an apparent reason
Sweating not triggered by exercise
Sweat is intolerable and hinders daily activity

Botulinum Toxin A can reduce sweating. This treatment makes the treated body part less sweaty up to 6 months.

Botulinum Toxin A is injected into the area in which excessive sweating occurs and stops sweating by temporary blocking the nerve endings in that area and decreasing the transmission to the sweat glands.

A numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated. Multiple injections of Botulinum Toxin A are administered to the treatment area spaced 1 cm apart. The injections are given using the finest needle to make it more comfortable.

After the injections, no painkillers or special precautions are necessary. You may immediately go back to work, exercise or perform your daily routine.
