Overview

Struggling with persistent fungal nail infections (onychomycosis)? Fine Podiatry Clinic offers PACT® Med treatment, an innovative and effective light-based therapy designed to target and destroy nail fungus without harming surrounding skin. This modern approach provides a safe alternative to traditional treatments, helping you achieve clearer, healthier-looking nails right here in Singapore.

Key Benefits

Choosing PACT Med treatment at Fine Podiatry Clinic offers several advantages:

  • Pain-Free & Non-Invasive: The treatment process is comfortable and does not involve needles or surgery.
  • Targets Fungus Directly: Effectively destroys fungi, yeasts, and bacteria within the nail.
  • No Systemic Side Effects: Unlike oral antifungal medications, PACT Med acts locally on the nail, avoiding potential side effects on the rest of your body.
  • Safe for Most Patients: Generally suitable for a wide range of individuals, including those with diabetes (subject to assessment).
  • Promotes Healthier Nail Growth: Helps create a better environment for new, healthy nail to grow out.

What to Expect

The PACT Med procedure is straightforward and typically involves these steps performed by our trained podiatrists:

    • Nail Preparation: The affected nail surface is gently prepared (thinned and debrided) to allow the treatment to penetrate effectively.

    • Gel Application: A special photosensitive blue gel, harmless on its own, is applied to the affected nail and left to absorb for a short period.

    • Light Activation: The PACT LED lamp is shone directly onto the treated nail. The light activates the gel, triggering a chemical reaction that specifically targets and destroys fungal cells.

Each session is relatively quick, and multiple session

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
