Nail Fungus

Nail fungus, also called onychomycosis, is a common condition estimated to affect up to 10% of the population worldwide. It can cause nails to become yellow or discolored.As the infection advances the nail can become thick, brittle and separate from the nail bed. It can also cause pain when wearing shoes or walking.

How does Nail Fungus laser treatment work?

The Clarity II laser focuses a narrow beam of intense light through the toenail to irradiate the fungus underneath. This kills the fungi living under the nail, allowing new, healthy nail tissue to grow in and push the nail damaged by the infection out.

How long is the session?

A single treatment session takes approximately 20 minutes to treat 5-10 nails.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients show improvement after one treatment. The required number of treatments will vary depending on how severely each nail is infected.

What should I do before the appointment?

It is important to remove all nail polish and decorations the day before the procedure.

How does it feel?

Most patients describe the procedure as being comfortable with a small hot pinch at the end that resolves quickly.

Is there any downtime?

Immediately following the procedure your nail may feel warm for a few minutes. The majority of patients can resume normal activities immediately.

When will I see results?

If the treatment is successful, as the nail grows you will see new, healthy nail. Nails grow slowly, so it may take up to 12 months to see an entirely clear nail.
