What Is a Fungal Nail Infection?
A fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) is a common condition affecting the toenails. It often presents as:
- Thickened toenails
- Yellow, white, or brown discolouration
- Brittle or crumbly nail edges
- Nail lifting from the nail bed
- Persistent infection despite topical treatments
Without appropriate treatment, fungal nail infections can worsen, spread to other nails, and become more difficult to manage.
How Lunula Laser Treats Fungal Toenails
The Lunula Cold Laser uses two specific low-level laser wavelengths to target fungal infection safely and effectively.
Blue Laser (405nm)
Targets fungal cells directly by disrupting their outer structure, assisting the body’s immune system to eliminate infection.
Red Laser (635nm)
Stimulates immune response and enhances local circulation, supporting healthy nail regrowth.
This non-thermal laser does not produce heat, making it completely pain-free and comfortable for patients.
As your nail grows, clearer and healthier nail gradually replaces the infected portion.
