Lunula Laser Treatment
The Lunula Laser is a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared low-level laser therapy (LLLT) designed to treat onychomycosis, a common fungal infection of the toenails and fingernails. Unlike traditional laser treatments that generate heat, the Lunula Laser is entirely non-thermal and pain-free, making it a safe and comfortable option for patients of all ages.
This innovative technology utilizes two distinct laser wavelengths (635 nm red and 405 nm violet) that work synergistically to target fungal pathogens beneath the nail while stimulating the body’s natural immune response. The red laser enhances circulation and cellular regeneration, while the violet laser has potent antifungal and antibacterial effects, penetrating the nail plate to disrupt the fungal infection at its source.
Each session lasts approximately 12 minutes per foot, during which the laser light is delivered in a rotating pattern, ensuring even and comprehensive coverage of the entire nail and surrounding tissues. There is no downtime, anesthesia, or recovery period required, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
The Lunula Laser is ideal for patients who seek a safe, drug-free alternative to oral antifungal medications, which can carry risks of liver toxicity and other side effects. It is also a perfect choice for individuals who have not responded to topical treatments or want to avoid the discomfort of traditional hot lasers.
With consistent treatments—typically one session per week over a period of 4 to 8 weeks—patients often begin to notice healthier, clearer nail growth as the damaged nail slowly grows out and is replaced by new, fungus-free tissue. The treatment is entirely external, with no need for nail removal or invasive procedures.
