What is Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus is a common condition that affects the toenails and, occasionally, the fingernails. It is caused by various types of fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. The 1064 Nd YAG laser offers an advanced and effective solution for treating nail fungus.
The 1064 Nd YAG laser requires fewer sessions than traditional methods. It offers a more comfortable, non-invasive approach with minimal downtime, making it a preferred choice for patients seeking quicker, more reliable results in clearing nail fungus.
What are the Symptoms of Nail Fungus?
The symptoms of nail fungus can vary depending on the type of fungus and the severity of the infection. Common symptoms include:
- Discolored Nails
- Thickened Nails
- Brittle or Crumbly Nails
- Distorted Nail Shape
- Foul Odor
- Separation from the Nail Bed
- Pain or Discomfort
When is Nail Fungus Treatment Necessary?
Nail fungus treatment becomes necessary when the infection does not resolve on its own and begins to cause discomfort or affect the appearance of the nails. Signs that you may need treatment include:
- Persistent discoloration
- Thickening of the nails
- Crumbling or distorted nails
- Pain
- Spreading of infection

How is Nail Fungus Treated?
Nail fungus is primarily treated with the 1064 Nd YAG laser. This laser treatment delivers focused light energy through the nail to target and destroy the fungal infection at its source without damaging the surrounding tissue. The heat generated by the laser penetrates the nail bed, effectively eradicating the fungus and promoting the growth of transparent, healthy nails.
One key advantage of the 1064 Nd YAG laser is its ability to target the infection deep within the nail, which topical treatments often struggle to reach. The laser’s thermal energy effectively eradicates the fungus, preventing it from continuing to spread and cause further damage. As a result, the affected nail begins to heal, and new, healthy nail growth gradually replaces the infected area.
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort reported by patients. Additionally, little to no downtime is required, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities almost immediately.
