Fungal toenails (onychomycosis) are a common condition that can cause nails to become thickened, discoloured and brittle. While they are often painless, fungal infections can progress over time and may cause discomfort, difficulty cutting the nail or cosmetic concerns.
PACT® is a safe and effective treatment used to target fungal nail infections. The treatment uses a specialised light-activated gel that is applied to the affected nail. When exposed to a specific wavelength of light, the gel targets and destroys fungal cells within the nail.
Before treatment the affected nail is gently reduced to allow the therapy to penetrate deeper into the nail plate where the fungus lives. The treatment is comfortable and has no reported side effects.
PACT therapy is commonly used to manage:
• Fungal toenails (onychomycosis)
• Thickened or discoloured nails
• Long-standing nail infections
Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve the best results while the healthy nail gradually grows out.
