Fungal nail infections thrive in warm and moist environments, like showers, locker rooms or even in ill-fitting shoes. These pesky fungi can easily infect toenails and spread them to other nails or even the skin around your feet.<\/p>\n
Lunula uses two beams of laser light to both damage the fungus and help your body clear it. It\u2019s a painless, walk-in, walk-out procedure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Unlike oral antifungals, which can cause side effects such as nausea and stomach pains, laser therapy for nail fungus\u00a0is completely safe. It also doesn\u2019t require any downtime, so you can resume your regular activities immediately after the treatment.<\/p>\n
In fact, it takes less than an hour for a complete nail fungus laser treatment session. It\u2019s perfect if you have a busy schedule and don\u2019t want to take any time off work.<\/p>\n
This innovative technology uses a laser beam to vaporise the fungus that causes toenail infections. A handheld device that emits a particular wavelength of light, called the Noveon laser, uses no heat and targets only the fungus. Its fungicidal effect occurs as the laser light passes through the toenail and reaches the inner tissue.<\/p>\n
The Noveon laser has a dual wavelength that projects two different colours of near-infrared light at the toenails to selectively kill fungi, without damaging the surrounding tissues or nail matrix. It\u2019s the most advanced laser therapy currently available for nail fungus.<\/p>\n
Fungus is a bacteria that overpopulates in moist environments, such as your shoes and socks. It can also enter your toenails through cracks or cuts. It can be very hard to get rid of, especially since the fungus loves warm and wet conditions. Fungus can cause itching, nail discoloration and a foul smell. It\u2019s a pain to deal with, but you can cure it with a new treatment that\u2019s been proven as effective.<\/p>\n
The fungus laser machine uses low-level laser light to kill the fungi in your nails. The fungus nail laser machine emits two different types of laser light; one to destroy the fungus on a cellular level and another to increase blood flow and encourage healthy nails to grow. This is the most advanced laser treatment for nail fungus and it is completely safe to use.<\/p>\n
Fungal nail laser treatment is significantly more effective than the toxic oral medications and expensive topical treatments. Oral antifungals like terbinafine and itraconazole are only around 60% effective at best and require multiple months of treatment to work. And even with these, you are likely to see the fungus resurface within 12 months. In comparison, cold laser therapy is painless and has been shown to have a higher recurrence rate reduction than traditional treatment methods.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The fungus is\u00a0vapourised\u00a0and killed in seconds and the treatment is completely safe for the surrounding skin tissue. It also does not have any of the side effects that are associated with oral antifungals.<\/p>\n
In fact, the fungus that causes nail fungus is so hardy that even popular antifungal pills (terbinafine and itraconazole) are only effective less than 50% of the time and carry a risk of liver damage1.<\/p>\n
Adelaide Fungal Nail Clinic<\/strong><\/a> uses the Lunula Cold Laser treatment to treat fungal nail infections or onychomycosis. The Lunula is the first and only laser nail fungus treatment that is proven to work. The treatment involves passing the laser light over each of your infected nails and is quick and painless. The result is a nice healthy looking nail that will take a few months to grow out and replace the fungus infected nail\/s. We recommend that you attend for treatments once a week for four weeks followed by a monthly check up.<\/p>\n
