Fungal Nail Assessment & Treatment
Fungal Nail Treatment
Assessment and treatment on the day £50
Fungal nail infections can be stubborn, but damaged nails are not always fungal. We’ll assess the nail, explain the likely cause and begin treatment during your first appointment. Treatment depends on the number of nails involved, the severity of the infection, your general health and what you’ve already tried.
Signs of a Fungal Nail Infection
Common changes include:
- Thickening
- Yellow or white discolouration
- Brittle or crumbly nail
- Nail lifting
- Difficulty cutting the nail
- Associated athlete’s foot
Other nail conditions can look similar, which is why assessment is important before committing to longer-term treatment.
What Happens at Your First Appointment?
- We discuss how long the nail has been changing, previous treatment and relevant medical history.
- We examine the affected nails and surrounding skin.
- We professionally reduce and treat the affected nail.
- We explain the ongoing treatment options, limitations and realistic timescales.

Our most comprehensive treatment programme for moderate, severe or persistent fungal nail infection.

- Regular clinical review
- Professional nail reduction
- Class 4 laser therapy
- Medical-grade topical treatment

Toenails grow slowly. Treatment targets the infection, but the damaged nail has to grow out before the cosmetic improvement becomes fully visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is treatment included at my first appointment?
Yes. Your £50 appointment includes assessment and initial treatment.
Will it clear on its own?
Established fungal nail infections often persist without treatment.
Is treatment painful?
Assessment, nail reduction and treatment are generally comfortable. Laser normally produces warmth rather than significant pain.
Will my nail need removing?
Usually not.
Can you guarantee it will clear?
No. Outcomes depend on the diagnosis, severity, nail growth, general health and risk of reinfection.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment takes several months, while complete nail replacement can take considerably longer.
Can fungal nails come back?
Yes. We provide advice to reduce the risk of reinfection.
Can it spread?
Yes. Fungal infection can spread to other nails and sometimes other people.
