Clear, Healthy Toenails with Advanced Laser Technology

Using advanced laser technology, the treatment helps eliminate fungal organisms and supports healthy nail regrowth over time

Toenail Fungus Laser Treatment

Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is a common and often stubborn condition that can cause thickened, discoloured, brittle, or misshapen nails. At Oakleigh Foot and Laser Clinic, we offer advanced laser treatment for toenail fungus—a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution designed to target the infection at its source and support long-term nail health.

What Is Toenail Fungus?

Toenail fungus is caused by fungal organisms that thrive in warm, moist environments. It often starts as a small white or yellow spot under the nail and can gradually spread deeper, leading to nail damage and discomfort. Without proper treatment, fungal infections can persist for years and may spread to other nails or skin.

Is Laser Treatment Right for You?

Laser therapy is ideal for mild to moderate fungal infections and for patients seeking a non-medicated option. Severe or long-standing infections may require a combination approach for best results. Your podiatrist will provide honest advice and a personalised treatment plan based on your condition.

How Laser Treatment Works

Laser therapy uses focused light energy that penetrates the nail plate and targets the fungal infection beneath the nail. The laser creates a hostile environment for the fungus, helping to eliminate it while leaving the surrounding nail and skin unharmed.

Laser treatment works best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may also include nail care, debridement (thinning of thick nails), and antifungal hygiene advice.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your podiatrist will first assess your nails to confirm the diagnosis and determine if laser treatment is suitable for you. During the procedure, the laser is applied to the affected nails for a short period. Most patients describe the sensation as warm but comfortable.

Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the severity of the infection, nail thickness, and number of nails involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is laser treatment for toenail fungus painful?

Laser treatment is generally very well tolerated. Most patients feel a mild warming sensation during the procedure, but it is not considered painful and does not require anaesthetic.

2. How many laser sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the severity of the fungal infection and how many nails are affected. Most patients require multiple treatments spaced over several weeks for optimal results.

3. How long does it take to see results after laser treatment?

Results are gradual. As toenails grow slowly, clear and healthy nail growth becomes noticeable over several months as the infected nail grows out.

4. Is laser treatment safe for everyone?

Laser therapy is safe for most patients, including those who cannot take oral antifungal medications. Your podiatrist will assess your medical history and nail condition to confirm suitability.

5. Can toenail fungus come back after laser treatment?

Yes, reinfection is possible, especially if preventive foot hygiene is not followed. Your podiatrist will provide advice on nail care, footwear, and hygiene to reduce the risk of recurrence and maintain healthy nails.
