Expert Fungal Nail Treatment At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic

Fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) occurs when fungi invade the nail plate or bed, often causing discolouration, thickening or brittleness.

Our comprehensive fungal-nail service offers an advanced multi-modal approach:

Laser therapies (including low-level “cold” lasers such as the Lunula system and K-laser)
Professional deep cleaning, debridement and thinning of the nail
Topical antifungal medicines
Oral antifungal medications (where indicated)
Marigold (botanical) therapy support
Swift (pulsed energy) treatment — all tailored to your nail condition and lifestyle.

What’s Included and Possible Treatment Options

Full assessment of your nail condition including severity, number of nails involved, underlying risk factors, footwear/foot environment
Nail preparation: trimming, filing, debridement to allow better penetration of treatments and to reduce as much of the fungal infection as possible.
Laser and/or Swift-based sessions: painless or minimal discomfort, no downtime
- The Lunula laser targets the infected nail with low-level laser light to help eradicate fungus and stimulate healthy growth.
- K laser therapy works by using focused laser light to target and destroy the fungal pathogens beneath the nail.
Prescription of topical antifungal medicine if required.
Oral antifungal medication when indicated (e.g., when infection is at the nail base, spreads, or has not responded to topicals) – under medical supervision.
Marigold therapy adjunct (as part of your personalised plan) to support nail health.
Preventative advice and monitoring: foot hygiene and advice on preventing re-infection.
Progress review and photographic monitoring, with follow-up sessions scheduled as required (nail growth and full resolution can take many months).
We also assess your footwear, foot measurements and biomechanics, as these factors can contribute to nail trauma, persistent thickening, pressure-related damage and environments that encourage fungal infection. Correcting these issues helps reduce recurrence and supports healthier long-term nail growth.

On arrival: registration and consultation with a podiatrist/foot specialist – we will review your health history and examine the affected nails.
Nail preparation: we’ll file/trim and debride the nail plate so treatments can work more effectively. (if needed and required)
Could include Laser/Swift session if recommended: you will be seated comfortably while the device is applied to the nail(s). The procedure is quick (often ~10-15 minutes).
Prescription of topical and/or oral medicines as required, with full explanation of usage, duration and possible side-effects.
Advice on aftercare: keeping your feet clean, dry, changing socks/shoes, avoiding environments that encourage fungal growth; and schedule of follow-up visits or check-ins.
The initial visible improvements may take up to a few months, because nails grow slowly; however you may see healthier-appearing regrowth at an earlier stage.
