PACT Fungal Nail Treatment

Highly Effective Fungal Nail treatment

PACT Fungal Nail Treatment

Fungal nail infections, also known as onychomycosis, can be challenging to treat with conventional methods like oral medications and topical creams. PACT (Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy) offers an advanced, non-invasive solution that effectively targets the fungus causing the infection without harming the surrounding tissue.

What Is PACT?

PACT Stands for Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy. It is a modern treatment method that uses a combination of a special light-sensitive gel and a specific wavelength of light to eradicate fungal infections. The PACT system targets the fungal cells, breaking down their structure and stopping the infection from spreading.

Light-Sensitive Gel: The treatment begins by applying a gel to the affected nail. This gel contains a photosensitizing agent that selectively binds to the fungal cells.

Targeted Light Application: After the gel has been absorbed, a specialized light source is applied to the nail. The light activates the photosensitizing agent, producing reactive oxygen species that destroy the fungal cell

The Benefits Of PACT

PACT therapy is an attractive option for patients seeking an alternative to traditional treatments. Some key benefits include:

Non-Invasive and Painless: PACT therapy is a gentle treatment that does not involve surgery or cause discomfort.

Highly Effective: Clinical studies have shown high success rates in treating fungal infections, even those resistant to other treatments.

No Systemic Side Effects: Unlike oral antifungal medications, PACT therapy does not pose risks to your liver or other organs.

Fast Treatment Time: The treatment is quick, typically requiring only a few sessions to achieve noticeable results.

PACT Treatment Process

Initial Consultation: Your podiatrist will examine your nails, review your medical history, and discuss your treatment options.

Treatment Sessions: The PACT treatment involves multiple sessions, typically spaced a week apart. Each session lasts about 10-15 minutes per nail.

Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, your podiatrist will provide advice on how to care for your nails and prevent future infections.
