Laser Treatment for Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections are common and can cause nails to become discoloured,
thickened and difficult to manage. At Feet For Life, we were the first clinic in
London to offer laser treatment for fungal nails and continue to invest in the
latest technology to provide our patients with advanced treatment options.
We offer both the GenesisPlus™ Nd:YAG laser and the innovative Lunula Laser™,
allowing us to tailor treatment to your individual needs. These non-invasive laser
therapies are designed to support healthier, clearer-looking nails without the need
for oral medication or downtime.

Symptoms
Symptoms include unsightly discolouration of the nail, thick nails that are brittle and hard to cut. Although a fungal nail infection can happen to anyone, they are more common with people over 55.
Causes
Causes of Fungal Nail Infections can be anything from sweaty and damp environments, Athletes Foot, sharing shoes with people who already have the infection or from underlying health issues such as diabetes or circulatory problems.
Treatment
Although lotions and tablets can be prescribed, they can be associated with side effects and often require lengthy treatment courses. At Feet4Life, we offer advanced laser therapy as a safe, non-invasive treatment option for fungal and damaged nails.
GenesisPlus™ Nd Laser Therapy
Our GenesisPlus™ Nd laser targets the fungal infection within the nail and nail bed. The laser light is absorbed by pigment in the fungi, which causes the pigment to heat and this kills or damages the fungal organism. This quick treatment is designed to create an environment that is less favourable for fungal organisms. Most patients find the procedure comfortable, describing only a brief warm sensation or small hot pinch which resolves quickly. Download our GenesisPlus information brochure here
Lunula Laser™
As part of our commitment to remaining at the forefront of podiatry technology, we also offer Lunula Laser™, an innovative non-thermal laser treatment. Lunula Laser works by stimulating circulation and supporting the body’s natural healing processes within the nail and nail bed. The treatment is completely painless, requires no downtime and is suitable for patients seeking a gentle approach to nail rejuvenation. Unlike traditional heat-based lasers, Lunula Laser is a cold laser treatment. Download our Lunula Laser information brochure here

Successful treatment results in a new healthy nail growing, please note nails grow slowly so it can take up to 12 months to see an entire clear nail. If you have been suffering with a fungal nail infection and cannot seem to get rid of it, book a consultation with us to assess your eligibility for laser therapy.
