Most patients need a series of treatments (usually 3–4 sessions) spaced a few weeks apart for the best results. Your doctor will recommend a plan based on the severity of the infection.
No. Most patients feel only a warm sensation during treatment. The procedure is well tolerated and requires no anesthesia.
Laser therapy kills the fungus immediately, but it takes time for healthy nails to grow out. You’ll begin to notice improvement within a few months, with full results visible in 6–12 months as the nail completely replaces itself.
Yes, in many cases. Topical creams often can’t penetrate the nail, and oral medications carry risks of side effects. Laser therapy directly targets the fungus without harming the surrounding tissue, making it a safer and often more effective choice.
Yes, reinfection is possible, especially if preventive steps aren’t taken. We recommend proper foot hygiene, disinfecting shoes, and sometimes combining laser with topical treatments to lower the risk of recurrence.
Currently, most insurance plans consider laser treatment cosmetic and do not cover it. Our office provides transparent pricing and flexible payment options. FSA and HSA accounts can also be used to pay for laser therapy.
