Nail Fungus

Nail Fungus and Laser Genesis

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.

Clear toenails for sandal season are now possible with Genesis, a top LASER treatment approved by Health Canada for the treatment of embarrassing toenail fungus without downtime, side effects or pain.

Laser Genesis offers exceptional cure rates with minimal potential for side effects compared to oral medication.

How does Genesis work?

Laser light from Laser Genesis passes through the nail and the surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by pigment in the fungi, which causes the pigment to heat, and this heat kills or damages the fungal organism. This can result in your nail growing normally.
