How it works

The Lunula low level Cold laser system is the Gold standard treatment for fungal infections of the nails. The Lunula Laser device produces two rotating laser beams which are able to cover a large area of the foot to completely treating all of the toes simultaneously.

The Lunula Laser System is unique in using a specific combination of 2 lasers to produce an immune effect within the body to treat Fungal infection. The laser types used are:

  • Blue (405nm), this acts directly and specifically upon the fungus and causes changes in its outer wall, this weakens it significantly, allowing the body’s immune system to attack and destroy it.
  • Red (635nm), is acting upon the body’s natural immune cells – fortifying them, thus making them more active and able to neutralise and destroy the weakened fungus. In addition the red light can stimulate and improve blood flow; this additional blood flow brings nutrients and additional immune cells to the affected area speeding up the treatment process.

The treatment will last for 12 minutes and you will feel no sensation.

The treatment will be repeated at weekly intervals, the number of treatments depend upon the severity of your infection.

You do not have to take any oral medication or apply any topical agents during the treatment, however strict feet hygiene protocols must be adhered to in order to prevent re-infection.

FAQs

At Podiatry First, we understand that seeking treatment for fungal nail infections can bring up many questions, especially concerning new and innovative treatments like cold laser therapy. Find answers to common questions below, or explore our blog to learn more.

Is cold laser therapy safe?

Yes, cold laser therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment option. It uses low-level light energy to target fungal infections without damaging the surrounding tissue. It has been extensively studied and used for various medical purposes, including fungal nail treatment, with a high safety profile. It does not involve heat and cutting, making it one of the safest options for treating fungal nail infections.

How many sessions of cold laser therapy are needed?

The number of sessions required will depend on the severity and extent of the infection. Typically, laser fungal nail treatments involve weekly sessions over a period of five to ten weeks. During your initial consultation at Podiatry First, our specialists will assess your specific condition and provide a personalised treatment plan, including the expected number of sessions needed to achieve the best results.

What are the benefits of cold laser therapy?

Cold laser therapy is increasingly popular for treating fungal nail infections due to its gentle yet effective approach. Here are the benefits of this innovative treatment:

  • Non-invasive and gentle

Our laser fungal nail treatment is a non-invasive procedure without any of the discomfort associated with other procedures. While individual experiences may vary, the treatment typically involves minimal discomfort, focusing on delivering therapeutic light energy directly to the affected area without the need for cuts, anaesthesia or chemical treatments.

  • Low risk of side effects

Unlike other treatments that involve pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures, cold laser therapy operates at a wavelength that will not damage the skin or the surrounding tissue. It’s a drug-free approach, which means it does not carry the usual risk of side effects that can occur with oral medications.

  • Proven effectiveness

Cold laser therapy has proven effective in treating fungal nail infections. Studies have consistently shown high success rates in eradicating the infection and improving the overall appearance of the nails. The specific wavelengths of light used to disrupt the growth of the fungus resulted in the natural healing and regeneration of healthy nails.

  • Efficiency and convenience

Each session of cold laser therapy at Podiatry First is quick, typically lasting only about 12 minutes. This short duration allows patients to easily fit treatments into their schedules without significant disruption to their daily lives. Plus, the outpatient nature of the procedure means there is no downtime required, and patients can often resume their regular activities immediately following each session.

  • Long-lasting improvement in nail health

Cold laser therapy goes beyond treating fungal infections; it promotes enduring improvements in nail appearance and health. As uninfected nails grow in, patients may notice their nails looking healthier than before — a result of enhanced local circulation and a strengthened immune response.

Who can benefit from cold laser therapy?

Almost anyone suffering from fungal nail infections, regardless of the infection’s severity, can benefit from cold laser therapy. It is particularly beneficial for individuals looking for a safe and effective alternative to traditional treatments that may involve potential side effects or those who have recurring infections.

Rest assured, our specialists at Podiatry First will help determine if it is the right treatment option for you during your initial assessment.

Are there any side effects or risks with cold laser therapy?

No, there are no known significant side effects for most patients. As a non-thermal and non-invasive procedure, it does not burn or cut the skin, significantly reducing the risk of infection or other complications commonly associated with more invasive fungal nail treatments.

However, as with any medical procedure, it is crucial you consult with your healthcare providers to understand any potential risks based on your specific health profile.
