What is Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus is by far the most widespread infection of a nail. Toenails and fingernails are both susceptible to the nail fungus infection. The fungus makes the nail hard, thick and rough. There are now at least 50 to 60 percent American grownups who are currently infected with the nail fungus across the country.
Who is Susceptible?
Individuals with a family history, increasing age, poor health, nail trauma, exposed to warm or moist environments are more prone to receiving the nail infection. Nail fungus should be taken seriously because it can lead to permanent nail defect.
Symptoms
Early signs and symptoms include:
- Buildup of skin pieces and nail fragments under the nail
- Brittle and/or broken nails
- Thickened nail
- Damaged brown or gray nail surface
If these symptoms are noticed, treatment should be followed quickly to reduce any further development of the fungus.

Lunula Laser
Nail fungus is found under and inside of the nail, making nail fungus treatment a complicated process. However, at Foot Institute we offer our patients an effective treatment using the Lunula Laser treatment. Our laser for nail fungus targets the fungus under the nail without damaging the surrounding skin.
The Erchonia non-thermal Lunula Laser is an effective tool for treating onychomycosis (toenail fungus). Research proved the Lunula Laser significantly increased clear nails over a (6) month period. The Lunula Laser targets the fungus and stimulates new clear nail growth. This patented red and violet visionary laser delivers an innovative, multifaceted approach of low level laser therapy in the form of two different wavelengths to the affected areas. Likened unto the agnostic effect of the drug, the Lunula uses photonic energy to modulate cellular reactions that target the fungus, without any adverse reactions to the nail bed, toe or foot.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nail Fungus Treatment
What is the Lunula Laser treatment for nail fungus?
The Lunula Laser is a non‑thermal laser we use to treat nail fungus. It targets the fungus under and inside the nail and helps stimulate new, clear nail growth over time.
Who is a good candidate for laser nail fungus treatment?
People with thickened, discoloured, or brittle nails from fungus may benefit from this treatment. It is often used when other treatments have not worked well or when patients prefer a non‑medication option.
How many sessions are usually needed?
Most patients need a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The exact number depends on how many nails are affected and how advanced the fungus is.
Is the laser treatment painful?
No, the Lunula Laser is non‑thermal and does not create heat. Most people feel little to nothing during the session and can return to normal activities right away.
How long does it take to see results?
Clear nail growth is gradual. It can take several months for the new, healthy nail to grow in fully, depending on the nail and the person.
Do I still need to take medication with laser treatment?
Not always. Some patients use the laser alone, while others combine it with topical or oral treatments. We review your case and suggest an approach that fits your situation.
