Obliv Clinic Seoul Origin Branch —
a three-step treatment system
Medication struggles to penetrate a nail, so Obliv treats it precisely with lasers.
step 1 Clearing the fungal mass (pre-conditioning) We first safely remove the mass of fungus hiding inside the thickened nail and dead skin. Only once this is done can the laser reach deep into the nail.
step 2 Non-thermal laser The latest laser treats a wide area safely, without pain or any risk of burns. We hold one of the widest ranges of devices in Korea, so we can pick the laser that suits your condition exactly.
step 3 Precision laser by the medical team A high-intensity laser, applied by the doctor, treats even the fungus deep inside with precision. The intensity can be adjusted, so it is comfortable even for sensitive patients.
Obliv nail treatment can be claimed on private health insurance.
A nail usually takes six months to a year to grow out completely.
Fortunately, toenail fungus treatment can be claimed on private health insurance.
We will walk you through the insurance paperwork at reception.
※ Eligibility for a private insurance claim requires prior diagnosis by our medical team; please confirm the details with your insurer, and an excess may apply.
Toenail fungus FAQ
Before treatment, we talk through
your worries and concerns.
+ What is the difference compared with care at a nail salon?
Obliv Clinic takes a medical approach: we look at the root cause of a problem toenail and treat it through a systematic programme. Unlike general nail care, there are clear differences in hygiene management, treatment planning, the use of MFDS-certified medical devices and personalised prescriptions.
+ Can I make a claim on my private health insurance?
Yes — if a disease code is registered after your consultation, the treatment can be claimed on private health insurance. (※ Coverage may vary depending on your insurer and policy terms.)
+ Is this a treatment where the toenail is removed?
No. Obliv works on the principle of non-surgical, conservative treatment that does not remove the nail. We combine corrective devices, medication and lifestyle guidance so the nail can recover naturally and safely.
+ Is the treatment very painful?
Most treatment is carried out without anaesthesia, and pre-conditioning and laser treatment tend to involve very little pain. The intensity can be adjusted to your sensitivity, so you can set your worries aside.
+ How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition of your nail and the type of disease, but it takes several months for a healthy new nail to grow out. The number and frequency of sessions are adjusted according to our medical team’s diagnosis.
