Concerned About Thick or Discolored Nails?
Fungal nail infections can affect both the appearance and health of your nails.
Professional fungal nail treatments may help improve nail clarity and support healthier nail growth.
Schedule your consultation to learn whether fungal nail treatment is the right option for you.
When you choose fungal nail treatment using light-based technology, you are selecting a non-invasive approach designed to target fungal organisms that grow beneath your nail.
Nail fungus, also known as onychomycosis, develops when fungal organisms (most commonly dermatophytes, yeasts, or molds) grow under the nail plate where moisture, warmth, and limited airflow create an ideal environment for them to thrive.
Light-based fungal nail treatments work by delivering controlled energy through the nail plate to the infected area beneath the nail. This energy helps create an environment that is unfavorable for fungal growth—often by heating the tissue to levels that disrupt fungal cells—while allowing the nail to gradually grow out healthier over time.
Because nails grow slowly (fingernails at about 3 mm per month and toenails even slower at about 1 mm per month), improvements typically occur gradually as new nail growth replaces the damaged portion of the nail. Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on the severity of the infection, the number of affected nails, and how deeply the fungus has penetrated.
