Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment
Healthy, clearer nails made simple.
Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment is a pain-free, non-thermal treatment option for fungal nail infections. It does not require anaesthetic and is designed to support clearer nail growth over time.
Using the Erchonia Lunula cold laser, this treatment targets fungal nail infections safely and gently. It is a popular option for patients looking for a non-invasive treatment that does not involve oral medication.
In as little as four weekly treatments, many patients begin the process towards healthier-looking nails and greater confidence wearing sandals, jandals, or going barefoot again.
What is the Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment?
Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment uses the Erchonia Lunula cold laser, a low-level laser developed to target fungal nail infections.
This treatment is designed to improve the appearance of nails affected by fungal infection. It is safe, non-invasive, and does not generate heat, making it a comfortable option for many patients.
Compared with some topical treatments, sprays, lacquers, or oral medications, Lunula cold laser offers a treatment pathway that does not rely on daily application or systemic medication.
How does the Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment work?
The Lunula cold laser delivers two very low-power laser wavelengths to the feet and nails during treatment.
These include:
Blue light (405nm)
This wavelength is used to target the fungal cells and outer fungal wall, helping weaken the fungus.Red light (635nm)
This wavelength supports the body’s natural response by stimulating circulation and encouraging immune activity in the treated area.
The laser rotates over the treatment area to reach the infected nails and surrounding nail bed. This combination helps create the right environment for healthier nail growth over time.
How do I get diagnosed?
Before starting treatment, you will need a proper fungal nail assessment.
Your clinician will:
take a full medical history
review your symptoms and risk factors
examine the affected nails
use fungal nail testing to help confirm the diagnosis
This may include taking a nail clipping, photographing the affected nails, and measuring the level of fungal involvement so your progress can be monitored properly throughout treatment.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the most suitable treatment plan can be explained clearly, along with what to expect during the process.
What is the Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment process?
Before laser treatment begins, the affected nails are usually trimmed, thinned, and debrided.This helps prepare the nail for treatment and removes as much damaged nail material as possible.
You will also be given hygiene and prevention advice to help reduce the risk of reinfection during and after treatment.
Treatment usually involves:
weekly appointments for four weeks
sessions lasting approximately 12 to 48 minutes depending on the severity of the infection
follow-up review after the fourth treatment
At your follow-up appointment, your clinician will compare your progress against your initial photographs and measurements to assess whether healthy nail growth is developing.
If further sessions are needed, or if combination treatment is recommended, this will be discussed with you as part of your treatment plan.
How successful is Fungal Nail Infection Cold Laser Treatment?
Clinical trial results have shown strong outcomes for Lunula cold laser treatment, with many patients experiencing measurable new clear nail growth over time.
As with any medical treatment, results can vary between patients. The condition of the nail, the severity of the infection, nail trauma, circulation, and how well aftercare is followed can all affect the final result.
Even when the fungal infection has been treated successfully, some nails may still show permanent damage if the nail has been affected for a long time.
