What Laser Nail Therapy Is
Laser nail therapy is used to treat onychomycosis - a fungal infection of the nail that affects a meaningful share of adults and can be difficult to clear. The laser delivers controlled heat beneath the nail to target the fungus at the nail bed.
It is one of several approaches to fungal nails. After assessing your nails, your podiatrist will advise whether laser, topical or oral antifungals, debridement, or a combination gives you the best chance of a good result.

Laser Nail Therapy FAQs
The questions patients ask us most about laser nail therapy.
How does laser treat fungal nails?
The laser delivers controlled heat beneath the nail to target the fungus at the nail bed. It's used for stubborn infections, usually as part of a wider treatment approach.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on how severe and established the infection is. Where laser is recommended, it's typically delivered as a course of several sessions, confirmed after assessing your nails.
How soon will my nail look normal?
Laser targets the fungus, but the visible improvement only appears as new, healthy nail grows out - which takes months. Patience and prevention are part of the process.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Most people tolerate it well. We assess each person individually and take particular care with diabetes, neuropathy or reduced toe sensation. Your podiatrist will confirm if it's right for you.
