Description
Develop your existing Laser and IPL skills and knowledge with Laser Tattoo Removal and Fungal Nail Infection Treatments. This course will take half a day including practical and theory training.
Different types of lasers have been used to treat these nail plate fungal infections with varying degrees of success. One of the first was long pulse Nd:Yag systems designed to heat the nail bed in an effort to destroy the filaments of fungus. Now we can also use Q switch lasers.
Recent studies published by a team of European researchers describe the use of Q switched lasers which are normally used for laser tattoo removal and laser pigmentation treatments for effective treatment of nail fungus.
Traditional methods of treating fungal nail infections can take a long time and often only work on a topical basis.
Using laser to treat the infection works by increasing the temperature underneath the nail bed which kills the fungi.
