Fungal nails are caused by dermatophytes which are fungal spores, once manifested and your nails begin to show signs of the infection, the problem can spread nail to nail or even person to person. It is best to seek treatment to cure and prevent your fungal nail infection. We recommend Lunula laser for its ease and high success rates.

After your initial consultation and you have decided to opt for Lunula we will take your medical history and take a before photo of your nails. Please have any nail varnish or shellac removed. The podiatrist will likely cut and file your nail so the laser can penetrate deeper into your nail plate for better outcomes. You do not need to bring any type of footcare however do encourage good hygiene before and after.

Typically, 4 sessions are required however depending on the severity of the fungal infection your podiatrist may suggest additional course. Lunula is highly effective to curing a fungal toe infection, it can take several months to start seeing noticeable results. Once you have your new nails, we do recommend a yearly ‘top-up’ of Lunula laser as a precaution to prevent any further re-infection.

On average you will begin to see results after your 4th session and the time of review (approx. 6-8) where a healthy nail can be seen growing. A nail can take anywhere between 12-18 months to fully grow our completely. Results vary between individuals and depending on the severity of the fungal infection. At times your nails can be damaged to secondary issues such as thickened toenail, this may or may not grow out depending on the issue however your podiatrist will discuss likely results with you before you start Lunula.

Most likely if you have opted for ‘hot’ laser, this could have been uncomfortable for you and the results are not very great. Lunula works entirely different by cold low-level laser but also encourages good nail growth. We would recommend an initial consultation to truly diagnose if your have a fungal infection to begin with. Open Podiatry is the only clinic in West Yorkshire to offer fungal laser therapy from our clinic in Bradford

For most individual Lunula is safe. We would use Lunula with caution on patients who: • Have active cancer anywhere, or past cancer of the foot • Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scar formation • Have a history of herpes simplex • Have active infections or a compromised immune system • Have had a sunburn on the area being treated • Are taking photo-sensitizing drugs and anti-coagulants • Women who are pregnant • Clients with a pacemaker • Clients with photosensitive epilepsy

Though Lunula has capacity in promoting your natural immune response to fighting fungi spores, without good hygiene the infection can return. We would advice good hygiene practice which includes: · Wash and dry your feet daily · Consider using an anti-fungal spray · Do not wear the same footwear for three days consecutively We do recommend a yearly ‘top-up’ of Lunula laser as a precaution to prevent any further re-infection.

Lunula laser is pain free. It is not anticipated that you will feel any major effects of the Lunula treatment; it is not unusual for a tingling sensation to be felt and even some redness in the feet, this is due to the improved blood flow and is harmless, the effects will subside with a day or two.

In the event a healthy nail is not showing after an approximate 6 months post treatment it would be recommended to test your nail for fungal infection. Options may include considering another course of Lunula or routine podiatry care should the result return negative for dermatophytes .

Lunula laser targets the fungi organisms and encourages healthy nail growth. In a nutshell the answer is yes! The beauty of Lunula is all your nails are targeted not just individual as with 'hot' laser therapy.
