The treatment outcome can be reached by a single or double session, but it depends on the severity of the fungal infection. The outcome, the growth of new clear nail structures is therefore not immediately visible. Nevertheless, in about 8 weeks after the initial treatment the first new formed clear nail structures are discernible. If this is not the case, an additional treatment could be implemented. A 3rd treatment (ca. 8 weeks after the 2nd treatment) could be necessary if the fungal infection is very definitive. The ultimate result should be visible in 9 month till one year.
Treatment Parameter
The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the toenails, the laser settings and the speed of the movement. The laser beam should continuously (ca. 2 mm/s) guided over the nail bed, so that the complete nail (nail plate, nail wall and eponychium) is repeatedly irradiated reticular or spiral-shaped.Due to the applied total energy there has to be a notable warming perceptible. The treatment could be temporary (about 5 seconds) paused, if the patient feels a heating pain before the necessary total energy is reached. After each treated nail the automatic pulse countershould be reset by a singular touch.
