Treatment & Technology
Emerald Skin Lab Laser provides a safe, effective, and quick procedure uses cutting-edge laser technology to target and eliminate fungal infections, promoting healthy nail growth and restoring the appearance of your nails. Our experienced professionals will guide you through the process, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing experience. Take the first step towards achieving healthy, beautiful nails with our laser fungal nail treatment.
Laser therapy uses focused light energy to penetrate the nail plate and reach the nail bed, where the fungi reside. The heat from the laser destroys the fungal cells without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Since the laser is precise, it targets the infected area and leaves the surrounding tissue unharmed.
We offer Fotona’s ClearSteps™ laser for fungal nail treatment :
Fotona’s ClearSteps™ Onychomycosis Treatment is an innovative, patient-friendly solution for treating toenail fungus (onychomycosis) using Nd:YAG laser light to evenly heat the affected nail and skin tissue. This deep, pulse-profile heating effectively weakens and kills parasitic fungi, enabling the body's natural growth and immune processes to restore nails to a healthy state. Unlike traditional methods, this laser treatment delivers even results without the limitations of chemical diffusion seen in topical treatments or the risk of hepatotoxic side effects associated with oral medications, making it a safe and effective option without adverse side effects.

What to Expect
At a Glance
-
Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with our professional expert to assess the severity of your fungal nail infection. We will discuss your medical history and may examine the nails closely to confirm the diagnosis.
-
We capture photos for your patient profile to track progress over time and monitor your skin’s improvement after each treatment.
-
During the laser treatment, our practitioner will use a laser handpiece to direct focused light at the infected nail and surrounding tissue. The laser will penetrate the nail to reach the infection in the nail bed.
The procedure is generally quick—lasting 20-30 minutes for each affected nail.
Anesthesia is usually not necessary, as the treatment is generally pain-free or only mildly uncomfortable.
-
After the treatment, you can generally return to your daily activities right away.
Some redness or mild warmth around the treated area may occur but usually subsides within a few hours.
The nail will continue to grow and heal over time. You may not notice immediate results, as it can take several weeks to months for the healthy nail to fully grow out and replace the infected one.

Follow-Up and Maintenance
Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Gentle Care: Use mild cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and avoid picking or scratching peeling skin.
Hydration: Use non-comedogenic products.
Rest: Avoid sweating or strenuous activities for a week.
Follow-Up: A single session may be sufficient, while others may need follow-up sessions for complete resolution of the infection. This can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the individual’s response to treatment. The sessions are often spaced 4-6 weeks apart, allowing time for the nail to grow and heal between treatments.
Contraindications
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Treatment should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Extra caution is advised for individuals with very sensitive skin or darker skin tones (Types V and VI).
FAQs
-
Yes, clinical research trials show laser treatment success being as high as 90% with multiple treatments. Laser therapy works by using focused light to penetrate the nail plate and heat the nail bed, where the fungus is living. The heat generated by the laser destroys the fungal cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser targets the fungal cells directly, making it an effective method for treating fungal infections deep within the nail.
-
Mild to Moderate Infections: For less severe infections, one or two sessions may be enough to see improvement.
Severe or Chronic Infections: If the fungus has caused significant nail thickening, discoloration, or damage, you may require 3 or more sessions to fully treat the infection.
-
You will begin to notice results within 2-4 months, depending on how quickly your toenails grow. New, clear growth begins to appear at the bottom portion of your nail as the diseased portion of the nail grows out.
To ensure the best results, continue practicing good foot hygiene, take preventative measures to avoid reinfection, and follow Emerald Skin Lab’s recommendations for follow-up care if necessary.
-
Yes, fungus can return after laser treatment for toenail fungus (onychomycosis), although it is less likely than with traditional treatments. While laser treatment can be highly effective at killing the fungus, there are several factors that can contribute to recurrence is still possible if preventive measures are not taken. Reinfection can happen due to environmental exposure, poor foot hygiene, incomplete treatment, or the persistence of certain types of fungus.
To minimize the risk of recurrence, it's important to follow post-treatment care instructions and maintain good foot hygiene.
