Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a common condition affecting approximately 10% of the global population. It can cause nails to become yellow or discolored, and as the infection progresses, nails may thicken, become brittle, and separate from the nail bed. Pain when walking or wearing shoes is also common.
Book OnlineLaser Genesis offers a safe and effective treatment for nail fungus on both toes and fingers. The laser light penetrates the nails and surrounding tissue, targeting the pigment within the fungi. This pigment absorbs the light, heats up, and damages the fungal organism, effectively eliminating the infection.
The procedure involves passing the laser over the infected nails and surrounding skin multiple times until sufficient energy reaches the nail bed. Patients typically feel a warm sensation during treatment. Many show improvement after just one session, though additional treatments may be needed depending on the severity of the infection.
A follow-up visit is usually scheduled about four months after treatment to evaluate progress and retreat the nails if necessary. While Laser Genesis can significantly improve nail fungus, continuing home care is important to prevent recurrence. Schedule a consultation today to see if Laser Genesis is right for treating your nail fungus.
