Is this laser painful?
The gentle laser light beam has no effect on healthy tissue. There is no pain but some patients may experience temporary warmth in the nail during treatment. This treatment does not harm or affect your activity in any way.

Does it really work?
In the first clinical study, 88% of the treated patients grew out a normal looking nail after one treatment. After the one treatment, the nail plate should grow out normally in 8-12 months if there is a healthy nail bed. This result is better than the results reported for the oral pill, Lamisil, which you take for three months with some risk of side effects.

Is this treatment safe?
There are no age or health restrictions or limitations. In clinical studies there have been no adverse reactions, injuries, disabilities or known side effects. As you may know, the oral medications now used to treat toenails must be taken daily for months and carry with them some risk of systemic involvement or side effects that can affect the liver, kidneys, and skin. This laser does not!

Does my insurance pay for this?
Because this treatment is considered aesthetic, health insurance plans do not cover this treatment. We accept major credit cards and personal checks or you may use your Flexible Spending Account from work. We also offer an interest free payment plan through Care Credit. Application and information can be found at www.carecredit.com.

How much does it cost?
The treatment fee is $895. This includes a free consultation to see if you are a candidate for the treatment. Free follow-up visits at 2 and 3 months, as well as post treatment counseling to prevent reinfection, are also included. If the infection is resistant or has not responded with normal nail growth, the nails may need another treatment. An additional laser treatment within the first 12 months is discounted to $200.
