These products usually do not penetrate deep enough into the nail to effectively combat the fungal infection at the root &#8211; the nail matrix. This can lead to a long-lasting and disappointing fight against the fungus.  <\/p><p>At our <strong>dermatology practice in Frankfurt<\/strong>, we therefore rely on an innovative treatment approach that combines the use of <strong>nail fungus laser therapy<\/strong> with topical or systemic therapies. In this way, we maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and fight the fungus from different directions.

Targeted heating of the nail to up to 300 \u00b0C effectively kills the fungal hyphae and spores.
