Why does laser treatment work for Nail Fungus?

207 LASER™ uses a leading state-of-the-art Nd: YAG laser, which is perfectly designed for treating nail fungus. In 0.65 milliseconds, pulses of high-powered laser energy pass through the nail (nail plate) to the nail bed and nail growth area, killing the fungus instantaneously.

What does the laser treatment feel like?

In most cases, patients may feel slight warming or pressure during the laser treatment, experiencing minimal discomfort.  Also, as the laser penetrates the nail plate, it may create a harmless “snapping” sound.

How long does the treatment for Nail Fungus last?

Treatment takes less than 30 minutes. During consultation, our provider will explain the benefits of laser treatment and more. We assess the severity of infection and discuss your previous treatment history. We also provide detailed information about what to do to prevent reinfection.

Do you recommend a topical cream to help cure the infection?

An antifungal solution may be applied to your feet, and an ultraviolet light or sterilization aerosol should be used to treat your shoes.

Below are additional frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)

Please schedule an appointment by sending us an email or making a phone call. Over the phone, we can answer your basic questions. When you arrive for your free consultation, we can show you a few photos of successfully treated patients, answer any questions you have, and give you some advice on how to care for your toes after the treatment.

One of the most essential elements of this procedure is the aftercare to prevent reinfection. We provide guidance as well as a list of key aftercare instructions after your appointment

One of the factors that plays the largest role in the success of patients with near-total or total clearance is adherence to aftercare.

As with all treatments, different customers may have different results, but our laser is FDA-cleared and proven safe and effective. Clinical studies using this laser system have shown the highest rates of success and clearance compared to any other laser system currently on the market.  In a randomized study of almost 100 subjects over three to twelve months, 95% of subjects observed “significant nail plate clearance”.

It is important to remove all toenail polish before the laser treatment, but yes, you can paint your toenails immediately after the procedure. It is best to use a new bottle of polish so there is no risk of fungal re-infection.

Because this procedure is considered “cosmetic” by health insurance companies, treatment is not covered.

The cost depends on the number of nails affected and the severity of the infection. We offer a free consultation to help determine if you are a suitable candidate for laser treatment. Contact our clinic today to receive a quote or to schedule your free consultation.

Treated nails take time to clear; the results of laser treatment may take a few months to be fully noticeable.  With continued care to prevent reinfection, the new nail growth will be clear and healthy.   Make sure to check out our news section for tips to prevent fungal reinfection and keep clear, healthy nails forever.  Click here for more information!
