Onychomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the nails that affects a high percentage of the population and leads to yellow, thick and deformed toenails. Onychomycosis / Nail Fungus is a chronic fungal infection of the nails that affects a high percentage of the population.
The nails with fungus often become rough and brittle, and often tend to separate from the nail bed. The nail fungus / onychomycosis that infects the toenail is usually the same fungus that causes athletes foot. It tends to be a progressive infection that damages the nail. It can affect a single toenail or several nails on one foot or both feet. The nail fungus thrives in moist and dark environment. Therefore is more likely to affect toenails (sweaty feet inside shoes) than fingernails.
Toe Nail fungus / onychomycosis is a chronic condition that impacts your quality of life and can even lead to serious health problems for patients with diabetes or immune disorders. The treatment of toenail fungus is difficult because the infection is under the nail, which makes it hard for medications to reach and fight the nail fungus.

Flawless Feet provides Fungal Nail Laser Treatment in Newcastle. Until recently the Nail Fungus / Onychomycosis treatment options were limited to topical creams, Nail Lacquers/Paints and oral medication.
However, today, advances in medical technology allow us to apply a new effective onychomycosis / nail fungus laser treatment method: S30 Podylas Laser which treats nail fungus quickly, safely, painlessly and without side effects.
Laser treatments kill the fungus that lives in and under the nail. The laser light passes through the nail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. This increases the temperature of the fungi and causes the destruction of the hyphae, thus preventing their reproduction.
At the time of the procedure, the toenail will not become instantly clear— it takes time to grow out.
In a recent study done by the university of Barcelona, treating 150 patients, using the S30 PODYLAS ™ Laser, preliminary results have proved a success rate of 90%.
Most patients feel no pain. Some may feel a warming sensation or a slight pinprick.
The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes.
There is no recovery period and you should be able to continue your regular activities.
Usually, it is recommended to have four sessions one or two weeks apart. Further sessions may be required if the infection is severe.
There is always a chance of reinfection because the fungus is present everywhere in the environment. We will give you guidance to help reduce a recurrence of the infection.

"Having had problems with my feet for a while I had the Newcastle Foot Clinic recommended to me by a colleague. The service I received was fantastic, the chiropodist listened to my problems, he then examined my feet and explained why I was having problems. I have undergone a course of treatment and my feet have never been better. They offer exceptional value for money and I highly recommend them."
"After suffering with Plantar Fasciaitis for some time I went to see Craig at the Newcastle Foot Clinic to recieve 'shock wave treatment'. The results were unbelievable, for the first time in months I am pain free and that is after just one consultation. I found the clinic extremely professional and relaxing, Craig gave me a detailed description of the treatment as it was happening and advice on how to help avoid it. I cannot thank the Newcastle Foot Clinic enough, it's help me be mobile again. First class and very friendly."
"I had a very thorough consultation - a highly professional, friendly service. Lots of good advice. My appointment was followed up with a fitting of orthotic shoe inserts which are amazing. I can feel the difference already after just a couple of days. All in all, a brilliant service - very highly recommended!"
