Description

Penetrates the nail without filing and acts fast to block the progression of the fungal nail infection. Visible results from two weeks on.
Helps to rebuild the damaged nail structure. This will improve the cosmetic aspect of the nail and provides a barrier against fungal nail infections.
The nails grow back healthier and stronger so re-contamination is being prevented.

Is this product suitable for use by diabetics?

Excilor® physically impedes the growth of infectious fungi by reducing the pH value of the nail (making it more acidic). This is not a pharmacological effect so there are no contraindications for diabetics. A combination of acidic substances penetrates the nail creating an environment that is hostile to dermatophytes (the fungi responsible for mycosis). The action is localised and targeted. Nonetheless it is recommend that diabetics with foot problems consult their doctor when starting to use Excilor nail fungus treatment (including ULTRA).

My nail has a fungal infection. How long will it take to eliminate the fungus?

As explained on the packaging the product should be applied to the affected nail(s) twice a day until the nail has grown back as a normal healthy nail. By then the patches and/or spots should have disappeared or the nail is no longer thickened or brittle.

A nail only grows about 1.5 mm a month. Excilor® not only makes the white/yellow patches on your nail disappear. More importantly – it gets rid of the actual micro-organisms (the dermatophytes or fungi) which live under your fingernail or toenail. It can take several weeks to make all the micro-organisms disappear. Meanwhile the healthy nail grows back and if you regularly trim the nail using nail clippers the dis-colouration will gradually vanish.

Uses / Instructions

Clean the nail and if wearing nail varnish remove completely before using Excilor®.
Use the applicator to coat the complete nail and underneath the nail rim with the product. Make sure you apply Excilor® generously twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening). For the best results treat the infected area for a minimum of 3 months. It is recommended to continue treatment until the healthy nail has re-grown.
Allow the nail to dry (1 to 2 minutes) before putting on socks and/or shoes. (After each application, you can use your usual nail polish or lacquer, but don’t forget to remove the nail polish before the next treatment).
Make sure the applicator is properly closed after each treatment to prevent evaporation.
Regularly cut your nails.
The applicator contains fluid for approximately 400 treatments.
