Lunula Laser Treatment for Funganl Nails
We completely understand that fungal toenails can be both painful as well as deeply damaging to your well-being. Fungal nail infections are increasingly common, affecting one in every ten people in the UK. At Open Podiatry we waited till the evidence was solid before introducing any forms of laser therapy. In continuing to provide the very best in treatment and technological advancement we now bring Lunula which targets fungi organisms with cold laser therapy.
Open Podiatry has done all the hard work in research ensuring your care is in the right hands with our trained podiatrist. Lunula laser fungal therapy is pain-free, risk-free, and clinically and scientifically proven to be effective.
What is a Nail Fungal Infection (Onychomycosis)?
A fungal nail infection is when your toenail or even fingernail has been attacked by dermatophytes (fungi spores). 10% of the words population is estimated to be affected by fungal nails.
Nails can appear discoloured, thickened, brittle and sometime lifting from the nail bed. A fungal nail can be either white, black, yellow, green, or even a mixture of all.
The nail condition tends worsen over time and this can make you feel very conscious of exposing your toenails. Fungal infections can spread to other toes and sometimes even person to person.

Lunula Laser Therapy for Nail Fungal Infection
Lunula is groundbreaking! Lunula uses low level cold laser in two forms to promote a natural immune response to grow a healthy nail:
-
405nm wavelength (the violet beam) which targets to kill the fungi spores in your nails.
-
635nm wavelength (the red beam) which promotes blood flow to the nails and encourages nail regeneration.
Unlike ‘hot’ laser therapy which has evidently poor results, Lunula is safe and effective. Oral antifungals pose risks to your kidney and liver function, and over the counter agents are only 50% effective. Lunula has no harmful side effects.

LUNULA - How it works
Treatment Plan
Your typical journey with Lunula to eliminate your fungal toenail infection would go like:
-
Initial consultation with your podiatrist to take a medical history
-
A ‘before’ photo of your nails prior to any treatment will be taken
-
Podiatry treatment will be provided which includes cutting and filing of your fungal nail(s)
-
Start of your first 12-minute treatment of your nails with Lunula to both feet. Sit back and relax!
-
The treatment is repeated a further 3 times each about a week apart
-
At the 5th session we review your nails and take an ‘after’ photo. Some improvements might be visible at this stage however it can take several months before we begin to see healthy nail(s) growing.
Nails can take anywhere between 12-18months to grow out.
We recommend a yearly ‘top-up’ as a preventative measure to ensure your nails remain healthy.
