The patented laser is a specially designed laser beam that goes through the toenail and safely kills the organisms embedded in the nail bed that cause Onychomycosis - more commonly known as toenail fungus.

The procedure requires one quick treatment with little or no discomfort and is performed as an outpatient service with no anesthesia. The gentle laser light beam has no effect on healthy tissue and treats only the infected area of the toe.

Clinical studies show that laser kills toenail fungus and promotes clear nail growth. Laser is safe and effective.
