There are several varieties of skin fungal infections which can affect almost any part of the body. These can include jock itch, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and yeast infection. The majority of these infections are caused by a type of fungus known as candida, which thrives in warm and moist conditions. Skin areas that touch such as folds, armpits, groin and others are a potential base for the fungus to develop and should always be thoroughly cleansed.

Fungal infections begin to take root if the conditions are suitable and this may be caused by humid weather, a lack of hygiene, or restrictive clothing and footwear. The skin naturally protects itself against infection but cuts or breaks in the surface may allow the fungus to set in and cause an infection.

The treatment will create sub-dermal heating under the surface of the skin and destroys the fungus without affecting the nail. With proper and regular care, patients can enjoy immediate results after just one short treatment with less yellowing and improved skin texture around the nail.

Patients may experience some minor discomfort like a local sensation of heat, mild needle pricking and pain, which will immediately subside and disappear when the laser application ends. The feedback may vary from one patient to other patients. However, the discomfort caused by the treatment is bearable which did not interfere with treatment continuity.

Patients will experience no major side effects and can resume daily activities immediately since no downtime is required after the treatment.

As the skin infection treatment is short and simple, patients can come during lunch break and immediately get back to work after the treatment with no symptoms.
