Nail Fungus Laser Therapy is an FDA-approved treatment that focuses on eliminating fungal infections using precision lasers. Fungal nail infections occurs when a fungus attacks a fingernail, a toenail, or the skin under the nails. Fungi can attack your nails through small cuts in the skin around the nails.

How does the Fungal Nail Laser work?
A fungal nail laser works by shining a focused laser beam into an infected nail. The laser penetrates the nails and vaporizes the fungus. The laser used is tuned to a specific frequency that only affects the cells that are responsible for the infection.

What can you expect during the treatment?
The treatment involves hovering the laser beam over the infected nails and surrounding skin. The process will be repeated several times until the infection is eliminated. During this time, your nail will feel a warm sensation. The treatment session will take approximately 20 minutes for completion. Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the fungus. This will be discussed with you during your consultation with one of our medical professionals.
