This is a relatively pain free treatment which involves drilling multiple micro holes into the nail plate to enable an anti fungal spray to reach the fungal spores beneath.

Once the holes are drilled in the nail plate, daily application of Lamisil is required by the patient in order for the treatment to be successful.
