Clearanail Fungal Nail Treatment

We are kicking off 2021 with an exciting addition to our clinic services. Geelong Podiatry is the first in our region to offer Clearanail, a clinically proven treatment for fungal nail.

You might be wondering, what is fungal nail? Fungal nail (known as Onychomycosis) occurs when a fungus, that’s normally in your toenail, grows underneath the toenail. This fungal infection is the same type as Athlete’s Foot.

So, how do we treat fungal nail using Clearanail?

The Clearanail device produces micro holes (0.4 mm in diameter) in the nail, to allow anti-fungal medication to penetrate the nail plate and easily reach the infection underneath. The computer controlled treatment ensures that the device retracts as soon as it breaks through the nail bed. This means the treatment is pain free and won’t damage your nail bed. Typically, your podiatrist will only need to create the holes once (twice in more severe cases). Post treatment, your podiatrist will provide you with directions on how to use the topical treatment and discuss your treatment plan to ensure the best results. A visible improvement in the nail will typically be seen in just 2-8 weeks.
