How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy for fungal nail infections involves the use of concentrated laser energy to target and eliminate the fungal infection. The laser emits specific wavelengths of light that can penetrate the nail and destroy the fungi without causing harm to the surrounding tissue.

Laser therapy offers several advantages in the treatment of fungal nails:
- Minimal Side Effects: Laser therapy typically has minimal to no side effects, making it a safer choice for many patients.

- Painless Procedure: Laser therapy is virtually painless, and no anesthesia is required.
Treatment Procedure
During a laser therapy session for fungal nails:
- The Podiatrist: A trained podiatrist will apply the laser to the affected nails.
- Duration: The procedure usually takes 30 minutes or less.
- Number of Sessions: Multiple sessions may be required, depending on the severity of the infection.
Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment option for fungal nail infections.
