How It Works
980nm laser nail fungus removal-the laser technology targets the root of the problem—literally. During the procedure, a specialized laser beam is directed precisely through the toenail to the nail bed where the fungus resides. The gentle heat generated by the laser effectively inhibits fungal growth and destroys the infection without harming the surrounding skin or nail structure.
Why Choose Laser Treatment?
- Proven Results:** High patient satisfaction with visibly clearer nails.
- Minimal Downtime:** Get back to your day immediately with a quick recovery period.
- Safe & Comfortable:** A fast, easy procedure performed with precision.
- Sensation:** Most clients report only a mild, tolerable warmth during the session.
Important Treatment Information & Aftercare
1. Can I treat just one infected nail to save time and money?
We understand wanting to be cost-effective, but we **do not recommend treating a single nail alone**. Fungal spores are microscopic and highly contagious. If one nail shows visible signs of infection, the others are likely carrying the fungus without symptoms yet. To ensure a successful, long-term outcome and prevent cross-contamination or self-reinfection, **treating all nails simultaneously is best practice**.
Exception:* The only case where we treat a single nail is when the infection is clearly isolated due to a specific trauma, such as a fungal pocket under an acrylic nail enhancement.
2. What should I expect during and after treatment?
Laser therapy is generally very well tolerated. Most clients experience no side effects other than a sensation of warmth during the session. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential, though typically mild, side effects:
- Warmth or slight tingling during treatment.
- Temporary redness around the treated nail (resolving within 24–72 hours).
- Minor swelling around the nail (resolving within 24–72 hours).
- Rare occurrences: temporary nail discoloration or superficial marks. Blistering or scarring is possible but extremely rare.
3. How can I protect my results and prevent reinfection?
Success doesn’t end with the laser—it continues with good hygiene. To keep your nails clear and healthy for the long term, please follow these essential aftercare tips:
- Treat Your Environment:** Use anti-fungal sprays or powders inside all shoes and on the skin of your feet.
- Daily Care:** Apply anti-fungal cream between the toes. If feet sweat heavily, use a drying,anti-fungal powder daily.
- Fresh Gear:** Bring a clean pair of socks and different shoes to change into immediately after your appointment.
- Nail Hygiene:** Keep nails trimmed short and clean.
- Sterilization:** Sanitize stainless steel nail tools by boiling them in water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Avoid salons that do not use hospital-grade sterilization practices.
- Public Spaces:** Always wear flip-flops or shower shoes in gym locker rooms, pools, and public showers.
- Rotate Footwear:** Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row.
- Freezer Trick:** To kill stubborn fungus in footwear, place shoes in a sealed plastic bag and put them in the deep freeze for 48 hours.
