Laser Fungal Nail Treatment
in Southampton
Thickened or discoloured nails are not always fungal. Our Southampton nail assessment looks at whether laser is a reasonable option and when testing, podiatry or medical treatment is needed first.
Patch test at least 48 hours before treatmentAll laser treatments require this minimum interval. Our booking policy also applies it to light treatments. Longer observation may be advised.

Understanding your options
How the treatment is approached
Laser is used as an option for suitable nails, but research does not establish a guaranteed fungal cure. Clearer-looking nail and proven eradication of infection are different outcomes. We discuss alternatives and the limits of laser before a course is agreed.

Areas and treatment options
Both hands or both feet
The full-set price means both hands or both feet, rather than all four limbs. Coverage is agreed before treatment.
Thick or damaged nails
Nail thickness and surrounding skin need assessment. A podiatrist may be needed for safe nail preparation or diagnosis.
Recurrent changes
We review previous antifungal treatment, footwear and associated athlete’s foot. Diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation require particular care.
Experience behind your care
Clinical practice.
Professional education.
Established in Southampton since 2011, Skintastic brings over 15 years of industry experience to consultation and treatment planning.
An academy as well as a clinic
We deliver Ofqual-regulated qualifications. Our owner is an assessor and Internal Quality Assurer (IQA), and also acts as a UK Responsible Person (UKRP) for medical devices.
For this laser or light service, we use medical-grade equipment registered with the MHRA, as part of our assessed treatment protocols.
Ofqual regulates qualifications and awarding organisations. MHRA device registration is not approval or endorsement of a device or clinic. Professional experience does not remove treatment risks, which we discuss individually.
Results & recovery
What to expect
The evidence for laser fungal-nail treatment is mixed and varies by device and protocol. It is not a proven guaranteed cure or a replacement for appropriate antifungal care. We explain this uncertainty before a course. Any visible improvement depends on new nail growing through, which takes months; reinfection remains possible.
Suitability and risks
Discomfort, heat, burns and damage to the nail or surrounding tissue are possible. Diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation, immunosuppression or an unexplained dark nail mark require particular assessment or referral.

Before & after
Plan for your appointment
Before you attend
Start with a consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before treatment. Tell us about medicines, recent tanning, previous reactions and changes in health. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber’s advice.
Aftercare and follow-up
Follow foot and nail hygiene advice, keep footwear dry and address coexisting athlete’s foot through an appropriate healthcare professional. Do not share nail tools. Discuss prescribed antifungals with the prescriber rather than stopping them for laser.
Your questions
Before you decide
Will this eradicate nail fungus?
Eradication cannot be promised. Diagnostic testing and follow-up may be needed to establish whether infection has cleared.
Why does the nail still look damaged?
Existing damaged nail must grow out. A change immediately after treatment is not proof of success or failure.
Can laser replace tablets?
That depends on diagnosis and your circumstances. Discuss medical treatment options with your GP or podiatrist.
How much will my treatment cost?
The £10 consultation and patch test is charged separately; the course or package price excludes it. Single nails are not priced separately. Any further sessions are charged at the listed rate; no guaranteed-eradication package.
Will I need a course?
That depends on the concern, suitability and response. We discuss the likely commitment and review progress before recommending more appointments.
Can I have treatment on the day of my patch test?
No. Our minimum interval is 48 hours for laser and light treatments. Some circumstances require longer observation. A patch test cannot eliminate every risk.
