Lunula Laser

What is Lunula Laser and how does it work?

Lunula is the latest and most revolutionary medical laser technology that is highly effective at resolving fungal nail infection. Safe and effective, Lunula Laser is the first and only non-thermal laser to receive FDA 510(k) Market Clearance for Onychomycosis

Lunula Laser therapy has an amazing 89% success rate!

The Lunula delivers a combination of two lasers simultaneously at very specific wavelengths to the surface of your feet. The lasers generate a rotating beam and can cover a large area of the foot to completely treat infections within the nails and nail bed. The two lasers used in the Lunula are:

• Blue (405nm), this acts directly and specifically upon the fungus and causes changes in its outer wall, this weakens it significantly, allowing the body’s immune system to attack and destroy it.
• Red (635nm), is acting upon the body’s natural immune cells – fortifying them, thus making them more active and able to neutralize and destroy the weakened fungus. In addition the red light can stimulate and improve blood flow; this additional blood flow brings nutrients and additional immune cells to the affected area speeding up the treatment process.

The treatment will last for 12 minutes and is pain free, the lasers are not harmful to you in any way as they use very low power settings

The Lunula Laser ® Advantage:

• No pain, no downtime and no risk

How many treatments will I need?
