Single treatment, treatment series or long-term care?

The short answer.

Hottinger Podologie distinguishes three forms of treatment: the single treatment for a one-off concern, the treatment series for courses that need several sessions at a fixed interval (nail fungus laser, Swift, nail brace, scars, HEALITE II), and long-term care with Podiatry Care and Nail Longevity. All three are billed per session according to the price list, with no packages and no advance payment.

Our treatment series at a glance.

• Nail fungus laser FOX 1064 nm: several sessions depending on findings, 3 to 6 weeks apart, CHF 150 per session plus podiatric preparation; afterwards a check about every 3 months until the nail has grown out healthy (12 to 18 months), with a photo series.
• Swift wart therapy: usually 3 to 4 sessions about 4 weeks apart, from CHF 120; check 4 to 6 weeks after the last session.
• Nail brace (orthonyxia): fitting, then checks every few weeks over months; brace CHF 75 to 145; follow-up of nail growth, transition to Nail Longevity.
• Scar treatment at the foot: usually 3 to 5 sessions about 4 weeks apart, from CHF 100; silicone and home care, check after 3 months.
• HEALITE II light therapy: usually 6 to 10 sessions, 2 to 3 per week, from CHF 90; aftercare as needed.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: usually 3 to 5 sessions about 4 weeks apart, prices as per villa-zeltweg.ch, at Villa Zeltweg in the same building.
• Complementary medical consultation: first consultation, then follow-up after 8 to 12 weeks, CHF 180 per hour.

Guide values from manufacturer information, literature and our experience. Number and interval are set according to findings and adjusted during the course. Self-pay services; some supplementary insurance plans contribute, depending on your policy.

From the first visit to lasting foot health.

1. First visit: conversation, findings, first treatment and an honest assessment.
2. Diagnosis and treatment: what can be done today is done today, with photo documentation.
3. Treatment plan: if your concern needs more than one appointment, you receive a plan with sessions, intervals and costs, discussed before the start.
4. Treatment series: laser, Swift, brace, scars or light at a fixed rhythm, with a check at the end.
5. Regular care: securing the result with checks, a care plan and a reminder for the next appointment.
6. Podiatry Care and Nail Longevity: long-term care for foot and nails with an individual interval, annual status and priority booking.
7. Good on your feet, lastingly.

Why a series is more than several single appointments.

A series follows biology. The nail grows one millimetre a month, the immune system needs weeks to respond to the Swift impulses, tissue heals in stages, and a brace only guides the nail into a healthy shape if it is checked and re-tensioned regularly. The fixed interval is therefore not a sales argument but part of the effect. Every series begins with findings and ends with a check; if the goal is reached earlier or another path proves better, we say so, and you only pay for the sessions that take place. A specific outcome cannot be guaranteed.
