What is nail fungus removal diode laser?
Laser nail fungus treatment works by focusing light energy on the infected area, which creates heat and ultimately destroys the living fungi.
The main benefit of using laser light to treat nail fungus is that the laser can target the fungus more precisely, while sparing the healthy tissue surrounding it.
Some topical treatments can consist of harsh chemicals and be tough on the skin, while oral antifungals are known for being hard on the liver and can react with other medicines, so the precision of laser treatment is a positive for some patients.

Is the nail fungus laser treatment procedure painful?
Most patients feel no pain. Some may feel a warming sensation. An isolated few may feel a
slight pinprick.
How long does the procedure take?
The length of the laser treatment depends on how many toenails need to be treated. Typically, it takes around 10 minutes to treat the infected fungal nail of a big toe, and less time(5 minutes) to treat other toenails. To completely remove the nail fungus, the patient usually requires only one treatment. A full treatment normally takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Once finished, you can walk as normal and re-paint your nails. The improvements will not be completely seen until the nail grows out. We will advise you about after-care to prevent re-infection.
How soon can I see improvement to my toenails after the laser treatment?
You won’t notice anything immediately following treatment. However, the toenail will
generally completely grow out and replace itself in the next 6 to 12 months. Most patients show healthy new growth to be visible within the first 3 months.
What can I expect from the treatment?
Results show that in most cases, treated patients show substantial improvement, and in most
cases report being completely cured of toenail fungus altogether. Many patients only need 1 or 2 treatments. Some need more if they have severe cases of toenail fungus. We make sure you are cured of your nail fungus.
