Fungal Nail Treatment

At Reed Footcare we understand that fungal nails can be frustrating and unsightly, despite your best efforts. The Lacuna method has been clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of fungal nails. Short-term studies have been very encouraging although no treatment can be guaranteed to be 100% successful. We can offer the Lacuna method of treating fungal nails. By introducing micro-holes through the nail plate, an anti-fungal solution can be applied daily and reach the nail bed (the site of infection) directly.

Lacuna is an effective, therapeutic treatment which does not require anaesthesia and treats the fungal infection at source on the nail bed rather than the traditional over the counter antifungal solutions which are painted or applied to the nail plate which fail as they cannot penetrate the nail plate to reach the actual infection is on the skin under the nail (i.e. the nail bed) – not the nail itself.

It is an effective treatment that goes one step further in eliminating Onychomycosis (nail fungus) by micro-drilling treatment followed by administration of a topical medicament daily (at home). The affected nails may be reduced in thickness before the Lacuna method is used. A before and after photo will be taken and a return appointment every 10 weeks are often advised during treatment. We often used a combined therapy of topical and oral antifungal if the infection is significant.

Reed Footcare Clinic is a pioneer of this treatment approach in Ireland and is one of the few clinics carrying out this procedure which has been specifically designed to target and treat fungal nail conditions. We have had huge success with this treatment at our clinic – contact us today to find out more information and see if this is the solution to your fungal nail problems.
