What is Onychomycosis?
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection affecting the fingernails or toenails, leading to discoloration, thickening, and detachment from the nail bed. It is the most prevalent nail infection, impacting approximately 10% of the population. This condition is more frequently seen in older individuals and those with diabetes, HIV, or other immune-compromising health conditions.

Onychomycosis Symptoms
Onychomycosis symptoms can manifest in many ways, like:
- Discoloration: The nail may take on shades of white, yellow, black, or green.
- Thickening: Affected nails can become thicker and harder to cut.
- Deformation: Nails may lose their natural shape or develop irregular contours.
- Brittleness: The nails may become fragile, crumbly, or prone to breaking into pieces.
- Pain or Discomfort: The infected nail may cause discomfort or pain, particularly under pressure or during use.
- Separation: The nail may detach from the nail bed, a condition called onycholysis.
- Odor: An unpleasant smell may be associated with the infected nail.
- Chalky Scale: A white, powdery substance may form beneath the nail’s surface.
- Debris Accumulation: Material can build up under the free edge of the nail.
Onychomycosis Causes
Onychomycosis, or nail fungus, can result from various microorganisms, including:
- Dermatophytes: These molds account for over 90% of onychomycosis cases, with common species including Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum.
- Candida: A type of yeast more frequently linked to fingernail infections, particularly in individuals with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.
- Non-dermatophyte Molds: Although less common in the general population, these molds are more often associated with infections in people living with HIV.

How to treat Onychomycosis?
At Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital, we address onychomycosis (nail fungus) using Fotona laser technology. Our practitioners utilize this method to apply precise heat to the infected nail bed and surrounding tissues. This process effectively targets and destroys fungal organisms by penetrating deep into the nail plate while preserving healthy tissue. Treatment typically involves a series of sessions. Initially, the nail is filed down to enhance laser penetration. The laser is then applied in a circular motion across the entire nail and nail fold, often requiring multiple passes to ensure comprehensive coverage.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Our Fotona Laser treatment for onychomycosis involves precisely targeting the infected nail bed with concentrated laser energy. This energy penetrates the nail, effectively destroying fungal pathogens while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The procedure is quick, painless, and requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
What to Expect During the Procedure
During your treatment, you can expect a comfortable and efficient procedure designed to restore nail health. We will begin with a thorough consultation to assess the severity of the infection and discuss treatment goals. Your nails will be prepared by cleaning and removing any polish or debris. The Fotona Laser emits precise pulses of energy targeted at the infected nail bed, a quick and painless process lasting 15 to 30 minutes. You may feel a gentle warming sensation, but discomfort is minimal. Depending on the severity, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. After treatment, receive post-care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
What to Expect After Onychomycosis Treatment
Following the Onychomycosis treatment, you can anticipate a gradual improvement in the health and appearance of your nails as the fungal infection clears. While results may vary based on individual factors, most patients experience significant relief from nail fungus and restoration of nail health over time. Your dermatologist will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and maximise the longevity of your results.
