Book OnlineWhat Is Toenail Fungus?
Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a common infection that develops beneath the nail plate. It can cause your toenails to become:
- Yellow, brown, or white in color
- Thickened and difficult to trim
- Brittle or crumbly
- Misshapen or distorted
- Separated from the nail bed
Without treatment, fungal infections often worsen over time and may spread to neighboring nails or to the surrounding skin as athlete’s foot. Thick, fungal nails can also become painful and increase the risk of ingrown toenails. For patients with diabetes or neuropathy, fungal nails can lead to skin breakdown that requires wound care.
What Is Lunula Laser Treatment?
The Lunula Laser is the first non-thermal, FDA-cleared laser designed specifically to treat toenail fungus. Unlike traditional lasers that generate heat, it uses low-level laser energy to target fungal infections safely and comfortably. Treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing response while creating an environment less favorable for fungal growth, helping healthier nails grow over time.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Because toenails grow slowly, improvement happens gradually as healthy new nail growth replaces the damaged portion. Many patients notice clearer, healthier nail growth in the months following treatment. Your podiatrist may also recommend proper foot hygiene, shoe changes, and preventive measures, such as the antifungal products available on our Over-the-Counter Products page, to reduce your risk of reinfection. Aftercare and prevention instructions are available on our Forms page.
