What to Expect from NOHAJI Treatment

Treating toenail fungus involves two distinct phases: elimination and protect.

  1. Elimination of Fungus Phase: The goal is to eradicate the fungal infection, which may take weeks to months. During this phase, the infected nail may crumble, shard, or detach from the nail bed (onycholysis) as the fungus dies and the weakened keratin breaks down. This is a normal sign that the treatment is effective, as it allows deeper penetration of the treatment in subsequent applications. The treatment consists of soaks and wraps applied for three consecutive days each month, repeated over three months (a total of nine sessions). For detailed application instructions, refer to our guide [insert link or reference].

  2. Protect & Restore Phase: After the infection is eliminated, healthy nail begins to grow from the nail matrix, gradually pushing out the damaged nail. This regrowth process typically takes 6–12 months, depending on the infection’s severity and your nail growth rate, which averages 1.6 mm per month—a slow process. To prevent reinfection during this phase, when the nail remains vulnerable, a single foot soak once a month is highly recommended until the nail has fully regrown.

 

Month 1: Initial Application and Early Response Phase

Plus Icon Minus Icon
  • Follow the NOHAJI instructions carefully, applying the treatment consistently for the first three days.
  • You may notice subtle changes, such as the nail feeling softer or less brittle, as Pythium oligandrum begins to work.
  • By the end of the month you may notice that dry flakey skin is gone.
  • Perform the full NOHAJI treatment (soak and wrap) once weekly, following the same steps as in Month 1.
  • You may start to see visible improvements, such as reduced yellowing or less thickening of the nail.
  • Dead nail material may begin to separate, making it easier to trim or file away affected areas.
  • Continue spraying shoes and avoid sharing footwear or walking barefoot in public spaces.
  • Be patient, as nail recovery is slow, and results depend on the severity of the infection.
  • Healthy nail growth may become more noticeable, with clearer nail emerging from the nail bed.
  • Continue trimming and filing to remove any remaining infected nail material.
  • Monitor for any signs of reinfection, such as new discoloration or thickening, and address immediately with a full treatment cycle.
  • Keep spraying shoes regularly to maintain a low-risk environment for reinfection.
At this point for most users the elimination of the fungus has occured but the nail will still appear unpleasant. While this regimen is not required it is highly recomnded to ensure the fungus doesn´t return while the nail is in a weakend state.
  • Switch to NOHAGI Protect & Restore: Involves foot soaks every 14 days.
  • The affected nail should show significant improvement, with a larger portion of healthy nail visible.
  • Some users may see near-complete resolution of minor infections, though severe cases may need more time.
  • Maintain hygiene practices, such as keeping feet dry and avoiding tight, non-breathable shoes.
  • If progress stalls, consult a podiatrist to assess for underlying issues or resistant infections.
  • Perform maintenance treatments every 2-4 weeks to prevent recurrence.
  • Most users with moderate infections should see significant or complete nail recovery by now.
  • Continue spraying shoes and rotating footwear to keep them dry and free of fungal spores.
  • Monitor nail health regularly and resume full treatment cycles if any signs of infection reappear.
  • Adopt long-term foot hygiene habits, such as using breathable socks and keeping feet clean and dry.
