Dr. Harrison uses advanced laser technology to target fungal organisms beneath the nail without damaging surrounding tissue. The laser energy penetrates the nail and helps destroy the fungus responsible for the infection.
Laser treatment is minimally invasive, requires little to no downtime, and can be an effective alternative to oral antifungal medications.
Toenails grow slowly, so visible improvement may take several months as healthy nail growth gradually replaces the damaged nail. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the severity of the infection.
