Laser Nail Fungus Treatment FAQs

---

How does the Laser Nail Fungus Treatment work?

The laser works by shining a gentle, focused light beam on the nail and surrounding skin. This laser beam shines through the nail and vaporizes the fungus embedded in the nail bed and nail plate where the nail fungus exists.

Is the Laser Nail Procedure painful?

The laser does not harm healthy tissue, and most patients do not experience any major discomfort after the laser procedure, but may experience a warming sensation during the procedure. No anesthesia is needed for this treatment.

Will I be able to walk after the Laser Nail Fungus Treatment?

The laser nail fungus treatment does not harm living tissue. Patients can simply walk in, have the procedure done, and then walk right out and go back to their normal activity as recommend by the doctor.

How long does the Laser Nail Fungus Treatment take?

The laser nail fungus treatment usually takes only 30 minutes to treat all ten nails.

Does the Laser Nail Fungus Treatment really work?

In most cases the nail fungus pathogen is completely eliminated following the treatment.

When can I paint my nails after the Laser Nail Fungus Treatment?

Toenail polish can be re-applied the following day. It is important to note that all nail paint and nail polish has to be removed prior to having the laser nail fungus treatment performed.

What is the cost for the Laser Nail Fungus Treatment?

The Laser Nail Treatment is applied to all of the toenails on both feet, even the ones that appear uninfected, as well as the skin around the nails. This reduces the chance of re-infection and has been shown to have the highest success rate. The treatment fee is $500 for all ten toenails. OHIP does not cover the cost of Laser Nail Fungus Treatment.
