How Laser Nail Treatments Work
Podiatrists at East Ocean Podiatry utilize laser nail treatments for various ailments that affect the healthy growth of nails.
Laser nail treatments involve lasers at a near infrared wavelength that will kill micro-organisms, such as fungus and bacteria, as well as render them unable to reproduce. The laser energy can cross the nail plate and destroy the fungus, while still protecting the healthy tissue.
Another advantage to lasers is that the energy has demonstrated a bio-stimulating effect on soft tissue. This is why lasers at varying settings can be used to stimulate new nail growth.
