Condition Overview
Onychomycosis is the medical name for fungal nail disease. It affects two to fourteen per cent of the adult population. Symptoms may include white or yellow nail discoloration, thickening of the nail, and separation of the nail from the nail bed. Toenails or fingernails may be affected, but it is more common for toenails to be affected.
In the past, this condition was treated by oral medication and other topical treatments. We can now treat this condition safely and effectively with our laser machine. The Quanta Duetto laser is tuned to a specific frequency that obliterates cells responsible for the fungus by raising the temperature under the nail bed, in turn creating an inhospitable environment.

“What can I say? You have been so welcoming and warm towards patient care. You are such an amazing person. I absolutely love the enhancement!! You break the stereotype of the ‘plastic look’. I had anti-wrinkle injections and filler done. Pain – minimal. I absolutely love it! When I apply my make up, it is so natural, people can’t even tell the difference. I am super excited for Dr Nishi’s new clinic in Sunningdale.”
