Fungal Nail Infection Laser Treatment
Fungal toenails, medically known as onychomycosis, are one of the most common conditions we see at Foot Foundation. Discolouration, brittleness, and thickened nails can be frustrating — but with the right treatment, they don’t have to be permanent.
Our Fungal Nail Infection Laser Treatment uses the Lunula Cold Laser, a clinically proven, pain-free, and drug-free solution designed to restore nail health from the root. It uses low-level laser light to target fungal cells while stimulating natural nail regeneration — all without heat or discomfort.
This advanced laser therapy is safe for all ages and is available across our clinics in Auckland, Hamilton, and Tauranga. If you're seeking a non-invasive, effective solution for fungal toenails, our team is ready to help.
What is Lunula Cold Laser treatment?
Lunula Cold Laser is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It uses two low-level laser beams (red and violet) to target fungal infection, improve nail growth, and restore healthy nails — all without pain, heat, or downtime.
How does Lunula Cold Laser work?
The laser combines two wavelengths:
405nm violet light – attacks the fungus and disrupts its growth.
635nm red light – stimulates your immune system, increases blood flow, and promotes healthy nail regeneration.
This dual action makes Lunula a safe, effective solution for fungal nails.
Is Lunula Cold Laser painful?
No. Lunula is completely pain-free. Unlike hot laser systems, it uses cold laser light, meaning there is no heat, burning, or discomfort during treatment. Patients simply relax while the device works.
How effective is Lunula Cold Laser?
Clinical studies and our experience at Foot Foundation show that Lunula Cold Laser can significantly improve nail appearance and clearance of fungal infection. Results vary depending on severity, patient compliance, and aftercare (e.g., footwear hygiene).
Is Lunula Cold Laser safe for everyone?
Yes. Lunula is a non-thermal, non-invasive treatment that is safe for adults, children, and even diabetics or patients with poor circulation. There are no known side effects.
How much does Lunula Cold Laser treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on the number of nails treated and the number of sessions required. At Foot Foundation, we provide transparent pricing before treatment. Contact us for a quote or view our Price List.
How many Lunula Cold Laser sessions do I need?
Most patients require a course of 4–6 weekly sessions, depending on the severity of infection and number of nails affected. Your podiatrist will create a personalised treatment plan for best results.
How long does it take to see results?
Since nails grow slowly, visible improvements usually appear after 3–6 months. Full healthy nail growth may take 9–12 months for toenails, as the nail grows out from the base.
Can Lunula treat all toenails at once?
Yes. The Lunula device can treat all 10 toenails in one session, even if only one or two nails are infected. This prevents re-infection between nails.
Where can I get Lunula Cold Laser treatment?
Foot Foundation offers Lunula Cold Laser at our clinics in Rosedale, Takapuna, Remuera, Botany (Auckland), Hamilton, and Tauranga. Our podiatrists are trained and experienced in advanced fungal nail treatments.
