Laser Therapy

What is Laser Therapy for Toenail Fungus?

Laser therapy is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment designed to temporarily improve the appearance of nails affected by toenail fungus (onychomycosis). The HyperBlue 1530 system uses infrared light to penetrate the nail and surrounding tissue, targeting the living fungus at the base of the nail while promoting the growth of healthy, clear nails. This treatment is painless, safe, and highly effective, making it an excellent option for patients seeking results without medication or surgery.
