Lunula Laser Therapy for Fungal Toenails
*** Currently Available in our Joliet Office ***
Fungal toenails can be difficult to treat and often return without proper care. At Advanced Foot and Ankle Center of Illinois, we offer Lunula Laser Therapy, an advanced, non-invasive treatment option designed to address toenail fungus safely and effectively—without medications or downtime.
What Is Lunula Laser Therapy?
Lunula Laser is an FDA-cleared laser treatment developed specifically for onychomycosis (fungal toenails). It uses a unique dual-wavelength laser system to target fungal organisms beneath the nail while promoting healthier nail growth.
Unlike oral antifungal medications, Lunula Laser does not involve drugs, heat, or incisions, making it a comfortable and convenient option for many patients.
How Lunula Laser Works
Lunula Laser technology combines:
- Low-level cold laser energy to stimulate circulation and support natural nail regrowth
- Targeted laser wavelengths that disrupt the environment where fungus thrives
Together, these wavelengths help suppress fungal activity and encourage the growth of clearer, healthier nails over time.
Benefits of Lunula Laser Treatment
Lunula Laser therapy offers several advantages over traditional treatments:
- Non-invasive and painless – No needles, cuts, or surgical procedures are required. Most patients feel only a gentle warming sensation.
- No downtime – You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. There’s no need to take time off work or avoid exercise.
- Medication-free – Ideal for patients who cannot take oral antifungal medications due to liver concerns or drug interactions.
- Supports natural nail regrowth – The laser encourages healthier nail growth from the base, gradually replacing damaged or infected nail.
- Reduces recurrence – Regular sessions help prevent fungus from returning while maintaining nail health.
- Safe for most patients – Even those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or vascular issues may benefit, after a professional evaluation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your comfort and safety are a top priority during Lunula Laser therapy. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial evaluation – Our team examines your nails to determine the severity of the infection and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Quick sessions – Each treatment typically takes 10–20 minutes per foot, depending on the number of nails affected.
- Comfortable process – During the session, your foot is positioned in the laser device. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, sometimes noting only a mild warming or tingling sensation.
- Gradual results – Because toenails grow slowly, visible improvement develops over several months. The laser helps eliminate fungus while promoting healthy nail growth.
- Ongoing monitoring – Regular appointments allow our team to track progress and adjust treatment if needed, ensuring optimal results.
Treatment Protocol
The treatment protocol consists of weekly sessions for four weeks, followed by monthly sessions for the rest of the year. This structured approach helps suppress fungal activity while supporting long-term nail health and regrowth.
Pricing
Pricing is $950 for the year or $100 per month for 12 months. This pricing includes the complete Lunula Laser treatment protocol.
