PROGRAM
NAIL DISORDERS
Care and Treatment
for Nail Disorders
Nail problems such as abnormally thickened nails, discoloration, brittleness, or chronic ingrown nails not only cause discomfort and pain, but can also affect one’s appearance and self-confidence in daily life.
Nail abnormalities should not be overlooked, as in some cases they may be warning signs of skin conditions or underlying systemic diseases. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are therefore essential.
The starting point of precise treatment
Because many nail diseases have similar external appearances, visual assessment alone may not be sufficient. Therefore, our program begins with a diagnosis by specialist physicians, including:
Comprehensive History Taking
Conduct a thorough medical history assessment to evaluate risk factors such as injuries, chemical exposure, or a history of concurrent skin conditions.
Magnified Nail Examination
Examine the nails and the surrounding skin with a magnifying device to thoroughly assess the nail structure.
Laboratory Investigation
In cases where a fungal infection or a specific condition is suspected, the doctor will collect a nail sample for laboratory testing, such as culture or pathological examination, to confirm the diagnosis.
Common Nail Diseases
That Should Not Be Overlooked
PROGRAM NAIL DISORDERS covers the care and treatment of common nail abnormalities, including:
Onychomycosis (nail fungal infection)
Causes the nails to become thick, turn yellow or brown, and become brittle and easy to crack.
Ingrown Toenail
The edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and an increased risk of infection.
Nail Psoriasis (Psoriasis of the Nails)
Presence of nail pitting, thickened nails, nail separation, or discoloration.
Onycholysis (nail separation)
The nail separates from the nail bed, often with a cloudy white discoloration underneath. This is usually caused by injury or moisture buildup.
Nourishing and restoring hair roots at the cellular level through targeted medical treatment that addresses the root cause
The treatment plan will be designed according to the type and severity of the nail condition in each individual, including:
Oral Antifungal Therapy
The use of oral antifungal medication for fungal infections embedded deep beneath the nail plate will be carefully supervised and closely monitored by a physician to ensure safety.
Topical Nail Treatment
The use of topical medications, such as nail lacquer or solutions with antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties applied directly to the affected area.
Anti-inflammatory Therapy
For nail psoriasis or severe inflammation, the doctor may consider administering localized injections to help control the symptoms.
Specialized treatment for more effective results.
To enhance the effectiveness of treatment, we incorporate advanced medical technologies to complement patient care, including:
Laser Therapy for Nail Fungus
The use of laser energy at a specific wavelength to safely destroy fungal infections beneath the nail without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Minor Surgery for Ingrown Nail
Permanent treatment for ingrown toenails by removing the embedded edge of the nail and selectively destroying part of the nail root to prevent it from growing back and piercing the skin again in the future.
