PACT Fungal Nail Treatment in Albury, Wodonga & Wagga Wagga

PACT Fungal Nail Treatment is an advanced therapy designed to treat fungal nail infections using a combination of light-sensitive gel and targeted light. It works without damaging healthy tissue, making it a safe and effective alternative to more invasive treatments.

At The Foot Clinics, we provide PACT treatment across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga to help patients manage fungal infections and restore healthier nails.

PACT FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENT

What is PACT Fungal Nail Treatment?

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.

PACT FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENT

How Does the Procedure Work?

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

PACT FUNGAL NAIL TREATMENT

The Process

01

Preparation

The nail is cleaned and debrided to remove any loose or damaged tissue. This step allows the PACT light to penetrate deeper into the nail bed and be more effective.
02

Application of Photosensitizer Gel

A special gel, which reacts to light, is applied to the affected nails. The gel helps target the fungal cells and ensures the light therapy is focused only on the infection.
03

PACT Light Activation

A PACT light source emitting a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light is directed at the treated nail for 9-10 minutes. The light activates the photosensitizer, destroying the fungal cells while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.
04

Post-Treatment Guidance

After the session, patients can resume regular activities immediately. No bandages or wound care are required, and there’s no discomfort during or after the treatment. However, patients are advised to maintain proper nail hygiene and avoid exposure to environments that could lead to reinfection.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PACT painful?

No, the treatment is non-invasive, heat-free and painless.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients require multiple PACT fungal nail therapy sessions, with the exact number depending on the severity of the infection and how the nail responds over time. As nails grow slowly, treatment usually takes place over several appointments. Your podiatrist will tailor the plan to your individual needs.

When will I see results?

Results from PACT fungal nail therapy are usually seen gradually over time, as the nail needs to grow out. Some improvement may be noticed in the months following treatment, but full results can take longer depending on the nail involved.

Is it better than oral medication?

Not necessarily better, but it is non-invasive and avoids the systemic side effects linked with oral medication. For some patients, that makes PACT a safer or more suitable option.

Can the infection come back?

Yes, fungal nail infections can come back, even after successful treatment. Good foot hygiene, appropriate footwear, and ongoing nail care can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
