Onychomycosis, or fungal nail infections, can be difficult and painful to treat and cure. Treating it promptly is the optimal course of action. Laser fungal nail treatment in London is a popular choice because it is painless, efficient, and has few side effects. Take a look below at some of the aspects you should consider before going for this kind of treatment.
Factors to Consider Before a Laser Fungal Nail Treatment
Expertise and Clinic Reputation
Investigate the clinic's reputation and the qualifications of its medical team. Consider previous patients' testimonials, as well as the podiatrist's years of practice experience. A clinic with skills and expertise in foot health, chiropractic, podiatry, podiatric medicine, and laser treatments is preferable. Certification and training in laser therapy are professional signs of expertise.
Types of Laser Technology
Different lasers are used in podiatry clinics for treatment. For example, we use low-level lasers and diode lasers at the Harley Street Foot Clinic in London. You need to see whether they use FDA-approved laser technology created especially to address fungal nail infections. You should properly assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment, as some clinics also use CO2 and Nd lasers.
Treatment Plans and Sessions
Usually, laser fungal nail treatment in London calls for several sessions, and one should discuss these requirements while booking a treatment. You should ask how many sessions are required, how long each session lasts, and how long the interval between sessions is. Being aware of the treatment schedule enables you to set realistic expectations and make plans accordingly.
Diagnosis and Consultation
A thorough consultation and diagnosis with a patient-focused pre-treatment consultation are required. This procedure adds efficacy to the laser treatment necessary to determine the nail fungus’ severity, making it more patient-oriented with better outcomes.
Cost and Insurance Coverage
Laser treatments are expensive, and insurance may cover surgery, leaving out medication and dressing. Request a complete cost estimate that includes consultation fees, pre-authorization, treatment sessions, and follow-up visits.
Follow-up and Post-treatment Care
Successful fungal nail treatment goes beyond laser sessions; there can be more than one, including other additional treatments or blood tests. Enquire about follow-up appointments and directions for post-treatment care for better results.
