Laser Nail Fungus Onychomycosis Treatment

Laser therapy is the newest treatment we offer for fungal toenails and improves the appearance of the nails in many patients. The laser works by penetrating the nail plate and destroys the fungus under the nail. There is no pain and no side effects. Best results and the best looking toenails occur with three laser sessions and the use of specific protocol.

Compared traditional methods,Laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive means to clear nail fungus and it is gaining popularity.

The Berylas 1064nm Diode Laser Treat  Nail Fungus

Only a laser can penetrate the nail with the required effect.

During the laser treatment, a laser beam will be slowly directed across the nail bed. The energy of the laser beam is absorbed by the underlying fungal colony. This denatures the ennzymes within the fungus that allows continued growth. You will feel a warm sensation during the procedure, which lasts 1 minute to 2 minutes per toenail. There may be some discomfort or a slight pain sensation but most patients find it very tolerable and no anesthetic is required

How Soon Will Laser Treatment Clear the Nail?
While a single treatment may be enough, a series of 3-4 treatments, spaced 5 – 6 weeks apart, is recommended to achieve optimal results. As the nails resume healthy growth, they will grow in clear. You will start to see results in 2 – 3 months. Nails grow slowly – the big toenail can take up to a year to grow from bottom to top. While you may not see a significant improvement for several months, you should see a gradual growth of clear nail and achieve complete clearance in about a year. 

What are the possible side effects of laser nail fungus therapy?
Most clients experience no side effects other than a feeling of warmth during treatment and a mild warming sensation after treatment. However, possible side effects may include a feeling of warmth and/or slight pain during treatment, redness of the treated skin around the nail lasting 24 – 72 hours, slight swelling of the treated skin around the nail lasting 24 – 72 hours, discolouration or burn marks may occur on the nail. In very rare cases, blistering of the treated skin around the nail and scarring of the treated skin around the nail may occur.
