NeoClear by Aerolase® is a technology used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including nail fungus (onychomycosis). It utilizes a unique NeoClear laser system that employs 1064nm Nd:YAG laser technology, which has been proven effective in treating fungal infections in the nails.
How NeoClear Works for Nail Fungus:
- Laser Technology: The NeoClear system uses a high-powered laser to penetrate the nail and surrounding tissue. The laser light targets the fungus beneath the nail, heating and destroying the fungal cells without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Precision and Depth: This non-invasive treatment is designed to reach the fungal infection beneath the nail bed, where traditional topical treatments often fail to penetrate.
- Treatment Comfort: The procedure is relatively painless and requires no downtime. Some patients may experience a mild warming sensation during treatment.
Advantages of NeoClear for Nail Fungus:
- Non-Invasive: Unlike oral medications or topical antifungals, the laser does not involve the need for oral prescriptions or messy creams.
- Fast and Effective: Treatment sessions usually last between 10-20 minutes and are typically well-tolerated, requiring no recovery time.
- Minimal Side Effects: There is little to no risk of side effects, unlike oral antifungals that can cause liver damage or other systemic issues.
- Improved Aesthetic Results: It helps improve the appearance of the nail by addressing the infection and promoting healthier nail growth.
