PACT Antifungal Therapy
What is PACT Antifungal Therapy?
PACT Antifungal Therapy or Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy is an advanced non-invasive treatment option designed to manage fungal nail infections. It is a painless treatment option with practically no side effects and is commonly used in conjunction with topical antifungal medications to achieve the best outcome.
How does PACT work?
PACT is often mistaken as laser therapy. Instead, PACT is a form of phototherapy that involves two components: photosensitiser and light.
The photosensitiser is a gel dyed in blue and it binds specifically to the fungal cell wall, making the fungal cells susceptible to the PACT light. The PACT light uses a specific wavelength of the light spectrum, and when shone onto the photosensitiser, it generates oxygen molecules that break down the cell wall of the fungal cells
