Step 6 of 6

Where do we send your plan?

Preliminary check only — suitability confirmed by Dr. Sarat Anandh at consultation.

Sound familiar?

Nails you’d rather hide

Discoloured or crumbly nails

Fungal changes that polish can cover but never cure.

Pain with every step

Ingrown nails that flare again and again.

Years of failed remedies

Paints and powders rarely reach where the problem actually lives.

If this sounds familiar, it isn’t a failure of effort. Most skin, hair and body concerns are medical — and they respond to the right medical treatment.

About the treatment

What it is, honestly

Deep-heating Nd:YAG pulses inactivate fungal colonies through the nail plate — a drug-free option when creams fail and tablets aren’t suitable.

Best results combine laser sessions with strict shoe/sock hygiene guidance we’ll give you.

Drug-free optionThrough-the-nail actionHygiene protocol included

Who it suits — Texture, scars, pigment, laxity, redness, unwanted tattoos — if light can treat it, we have the wavelength and the protocol.

Your journey

What to expect

Consult & protocol

Your skin is examined and a protocol chosen — depth and downtime tuned to your calendar.

The session

Cooling, numbing where needed, precise passes; most sessions finish within the hour.

Healthy nail grows in

With the fungus treated, clear new nail replaces the damaged plate as it grows out over months.

The technology

How Fotona ClearSteps® works

ClearSteps® is Fotona's laser treatment for nail fungus (onychomycosis) — controlled Nd:YAG heating of the nail bed targets the fungus directly, a drug-free alternative to long courses of oral antifungals.

The science

The science behind ClearSteps® - Nail Fungus

Through the plate

Laser energy penetrates the nail plate to the bed — where the fungus actually lives.

Fungal load collapses

Heat disrupts fungal cells that creams and paints never reach.

Healthy regrowth

Clear nail grows out from the base over the following months.

What you can expect

Results, honestly timed

First weeks

Clear growth appears at the nail base.

Months 2–4

Healthy nail steadily replaces the damaged plate.

Full regrowth

Nails you stop hiding — maintained with simple hygiene.

Timelines are typical, not promised — your skin, your plan and your review schedule decide the pace. We track progress with photographs at every stage.

Why ours is different

Fotona SP Dynamis NX Line — not the usual machine

What it is

Named Best Device 2025 at the Aesthetic Awards — a top-tier dual-wavelength (Nd:YAG + Er:YAG) platform whose power and precision most clinics simply don’t have.

Why it matters to you

Higher peak power means shorter, safer, more effective sessions — and parameters are set by the doctor, not a preset menu.

Doctor-set, always

Parameters are personalised at every session — the same machine in different hands gives different results. Ours are the doctor’s.

Before & after your session

Simple prep, simple care

Before your session

Come with clean skin — no makeup, retinoids paused as advised.
Avoid heavy sun exposure for a week prior.
Tell us about new medicines, peels or treatments elsewhere.

After your session

Expect mild warmth or pinkness for a few hours — it settles on its own.
Sunscreen is non-negotiable; we’ll give you the exact routine.
Follow the simple aftercare card — and message us anytime, we actually reply.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How soon will nails look normal?

The infection is treated now, but clear nail must grow out — expect visible improvement over 3–6 months as it does.

How many sessions?

Typically 3–4 at monthly intervals, tracked with photos.

How long until nails look normal?

Nails grow slowly — expect visible improvement over months as the healthy nail replaces the old.

Do I still need medicines?

Sometimes — laser and medical therapy work best combined; the doctor decides after examining you.

Who performs the treatment?

Every plan is set by Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL, and procedures are performed under his direct supervision — never handed off to a counter.

How do I know the price?

Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll share your exact, itemised quote in a moment. Session packages are available for many treatments.

Is it safe for Indian skin?

Yes. Parameters are chosen specifically for melanin-rich skin — that’s the doctor’s job, and it matters more than any machine name.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Often — many concerns respond best to a planned combination. We suggest one only when it genuinely adds benefit.

What if this isn’t suitable for me?

We’ll tell you honestly at the consult and point you to what will actually help — even if it’s simpler and cheaper.

Details, suitability and pricing are confirmed at consultation with Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL. Individual results vary.
