Laser Nail Fungus
Laser Nail Fungus
The Syneron Candela Nd: YAG is used to help eliminate those yellow, discolored, brittle nails and turn them into clearer, healthier-looking nails.
How does it work?
The laser light passes through the nail and the surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the fungi causing the pigment to heat. This heat kills or damages the fungal organism. Can result in your nail growing normally
How effective is it this treatment?
During the Procedure: Most patients describe the procedure as being comfortable with a small hot pinch at the end that resolves quickly
