F.A.Q. About Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment

How is toenail fungus diagnosed?
In most instances physician will evaluate signs of infection and will be able to tell you right away if your nails are infected. In other cases, biopsy of the nail tissue will be required, which is often reimbursed by a health insurance.

Is the laser treatment also available for fingernails?Yes, we offer the laser treatment for fingernails.

How does the laser works?The Laser kills the fungus that lives in and under the toenail. The laser light passes through the toenail without causing damage to the nail or the surrounding skin. At the time of the procedure, the toenail will not become instantly clear, because it takes time to grow out.
