Our laser treatment - all your questions answered

Everyone who books in for fungal laser therapy with us wants to know - what is the treatment like? And does it hurt?

Firstly - no it doesn't hurt. Your nail will feel warm but this feeling quickly fades.

It's safe and you won't need anaesthetics.

For the treatment, we slowly trace a laser beam across the infected nail for several minutes.

We cover the entire nail in a close cross-hatch pattern.

The laser beam generates heat in the nail and in the fungal colony.

We treat every toe, even if they don't show signs of fungal infection.

This is because if you have even one infected toenail, it's often spread to other nails.

We use a formula to work out how long we need to spend on each nail. The formula is based on the size of your nail and the progress of your infection.

There are no side effect and it won't harm your nail and the surrounding skin.

You can wear your shoes and socks immediately afterwards.
