Fungal nail infections are common. They’re not serious but they can take a long time to treat. Fungal nail infections usually affect your toenails, but you can get them on your fingernails too (NHS).
Lynton’s fungal nail, wart and verruca masterclass course is an online training course where you can learn in your own time at your own pace in the comfort of your own environment. The online learning includes; training videos, treatment videos (using a Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG laser), treatment protocols, consultation forms, contraindications to treatment, and aftercare information.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course, and places are available to anyone who has an interest in learning about fungal nail, wart and verruca laser treatments and wants to gain knowledge and experience or sharpen existing skills.
Please be aware that this is an online only course – f you are new to laser, then it is always advisable that you attend practical training for this which can be provided by Lynton, which can be discussed by contacting us.
Course Agenda
This course will look at these conditions and provide more information on how and why they occur and the variabilities within these disorders. We will then look at the theory of light and how light can be used to treat fungal nails, warts, and verrucas, considering the following factors:
-
- What lasers and wavelengths you should use (mainly Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG, Q switch 1064nm, and CO2 laser)
- Treatment protocols and how to programme your machine
- Pre- treatment and post-treatment care
- How many treatments are required and how often you should treat and maintenance (considering future re-occurrence)
- Assessing the suitability of the client (looking at the conditions itself but also contraindications, and overall suitability)
- Managing client expectations and results
- Considering side-effects
