age;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>skin barrier damage (cuts, wounds, cracked nails);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>genetic predisposition;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>poor blood circulation in hands or

The most effective is laser therapy, as it allows the infection to be targeted with maximum precision. Laser treatment is virtually painless and has no side effects. After the session, you can immediately return to your normal activities, as there is no recovery period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Decus Clinic, we use a special technology that combines two different lasers. In addition to eliminating the infection, the treatment also helps to develop long-term immunity against recurrence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nail fungus can also be treated with topical medications such as ointments, gels, solutions, and nail lacquers. However, these are generally the least effective methods, as the treatment period can last up to a year. If you are not consistent with the application \u2014 for example, if you forget to use the medication regularly \u2014 the effect may quickly disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-card\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><button itemprop=\"name\" type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-header d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center w-100 position-relative\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-25636\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-25636\"><h3>How can nail fungus be recognised?<\/h3><span class=\"position-absolute d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center justify-content-center\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 14\"><path d=\"M8.583,17.4H20.221l-4.456-4.366a.612.612,0,0,1-.02-.848.572.572,0,0,1,.825-.021l5.089,4.986a1.224,1.224,0,0,1-.01,1.707l-5.079,4.976a.572.572,0,0,1-.825-.021.612.612,0,0,1,.02-.848L20.239,18.6H8.583a.6.6,0,0,1,0-1.2Z\" transform=\"translate(24 -8) rotate(90)\" fill=\"#353535\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><div itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" id=\"faq-25636\" class=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#faq\"><div class=\"accordion-body editor-content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are four types of nail fungus:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Distal subungual fungal infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superficial white fungal infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proximal subungual fungal infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeast-induced nail fungus<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to recognise nail fungus depends on the specific type.
