A fungal nail infection, or onychomycosis, is a common condition where fungi infect one or more nails, often causing them to become thickened, discolored, brittle, and sometimes painful. This infection typically begins as a small white or yellow spot under the tip of the nail and can spread deeper, affecting the nail’s appearance and strength. Fungal nail infections are usually caused by dermatophytes, a type of fungus that thrives in warm, moist environments. They are often spread in places like public showers, gyms, or pools and can be more common in individuals with athlete’s foot, diabetes, or a weakened immune system. .

Laser treatment using an Nd:YAG laser is an effective method for treating fungal nail infections. The Nd:YAG laser targets the infected nail with focused light energy, which penetrates through the nail plate to reach the underlying fungus without damaging surrounding tissue. The heat generated by the laser disrupts the fungal cells, impairing their growth and helping to clear the infection over a series of sessions. This treatment is non-invasive, has minimal discomfort, and promotes healthy nail regrowth, making it an increasingly popular alternative to topical treatments and oral medications.
Unlike topical therapies, our laser treatment penetrates the nail to directly address the infection. This method effectively eradicates the fungus and facilitates the growth of new, healthy nails.
