Lunula Laser Treatment:
A Safe, Painless Way to Treat Toenail Fungus
Fungal infections, also called onychomycosis, can cause your nails to thicken and become yellow and brittle. Toenail fungus is caused by organisms that grow in receptive environments, such as warm, dark, moist areas of your body, such as your feet. More prevalent in older adults, but anyone can get it at any age.
Tired of hiding your toes due to unsightly nail fungus? The FDA-cleared Lunula Laser offers a gentle, non-invasive option to improve the appearance of your toenails without discomfort or downtime.
What is Lunula Laser?
The Lunula Laser is a non-thermal, low-level laser designed specifically to treat toenail fungus. Unlike traditional treatments, it uses cold laser light to stimulate your body’s natural immune response and promote healthy nail growth.
Key Benefits of Lunula Laser
- No heat, no discomfort, no anesthesia
- Resume your daily activities right after treatment
- FDA-cleared for safety and efficacy
- Can be an alternative to topical and oral medications
- Helps restore the appearance of your nails
How Does the Lunula Laser Work?
Step 1: Clean and Prep Your Feet
Before treatment, your nails are cleaned and trimmed. Make sure there’s no nail polish, lotion, or cream on your feet.
Step 2: Place Your Foot in the Laser Device
You’ll sit comfortably while your foot is placed inside the Lunula Laser machine.
Step 3: Gentle Laser Light Does the Work
The device uses red and violet laser light to safely kill the fungus and help your body grow healthier nails. No heat, No pain and No need for anesthesia.
Step 4: Wait Just 12 Minutes
Each foot takes about 12 minutes. There’s no sensation during treatment.
Step 5: You're Done—No Downtime
You can walk out and return to your normal routine right away. There's no recovery time needed. At home, you should make sure to wash all of your socks in hot water to kill any lingering fungus. Furthermore, you should treat your shoes with antifungal spray to prevent reinfection.
Step 6: Repeat as Recommended
Most patients need multiple sessions, usually done once a week, to get the optimal results.
