Medical-Grade Laser Therapy in Mayfair

​

At Hanover Mayfair Clinic, we offer advanced laser treatment for fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) using clinically proven technology and a structured medical protocol designed to deliver consistent, effective results.

​

What is a Fungal Nail Infection?

Fungal nail infections occur when dermatophyte fungi penetrate the nail bed, leading to progressive changes in the nail’s appearance and structure.

Common symptoms include:

• Yellow, white, or brown discolouration

• Thickened or distorted nails

• Brittle or crumbly texture

• Debris beneath the nail

• In some cases, discomfort or pressure in footwear

Without treatment, fungal infections can spread and become increasingly resistant.

Our Treatment Approach

At Hanover Mayfair Clinic, we follow a clinically guided laser protocol using long-pulsed Nd:YAG (1064nm) technology, supported by evidence demonstrating its effectiveness in targeting fungal organisms within the nail. 

Our approach is designed to:

• Penetrate deeply into the nail bed

• Create a controlled thermal effect to disrupt fungal cells

• Preserve surrounding healthy tissue

• Support the regrowth of clear, healthy nail

How the Treatment Works

1. Nail Preparation

Where appropriate, the nail is gently reduced in thickness to enhance laser penetration and improve treatment efficacy. 

2. Laser Application

We use a medical-grade long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser, delivering energy through the nail plate to the underlying infection. The treatment produces a controlled warming sensation, indicating effective fungal targeting. 

3. Comprehensive Coverage

Each affected nail is treated thoroughly, including:

• The entire nail plate

• Surrounding cuticle and skin

• Multiple passes across each toe to ensure complete coverage 

This ensures fungal activity is addressed not only within the nail, but also in surrounding areas where reinfection can occur.

Treatment Plan

Your treatment plan is tailored based on the severity of the infection.

• Minimum course: 3 sessions

• Typical protocol: sessions every 2–4 weeks

• Advanced cases: may require additional treatments

Each session is quick, with no downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately. 

Supporting Your Results

For optimal outcomes, we take a comprehensive approach:

• Daily use of a topical antifungal treatment at home

• Guidance on foot hygiene to prevent reinfection

• Treatment of all affected nails, even if only mildly involved

This combined strategy helps keep fungal activity suppressed while the nail heals. 

Results & Recovery

Laser treatment targets the infection quickly, but visible improvement depends on natural nail growth.

• Early signs of improvement: within months

• Follow-up assessment: 3–6 months after treatment

• Healthy nail gradually grows through as the damaged nail is replaced 

As shown in clinical case progression (see protocol imagery), nails become progressively clearer with each treatment cycle.

Is the Treatment Comfortable?

The procedure is generally well tolerated. Most patients experience a gentle warming sensation during treatment, with no need for anaesthetic.
