Fungal Nail Removal

Legacy Foot & Ankle

Podiatric Medicine & Foot and Ankle Surgeons located in Lapeer, MI & Rochester Hills, MI

Are you tired of hiding your feet because of unsightly, thick toenails? Fungal nail infections affect millions of people, causing embarrassment and discomfort that can limit your daily activities. At Legacy Foot & Ankle in Rochester Hills, MI, we understand how frustrating it can be when over-the-counter treatments fail to deliver results after months of faithful use. Our Class IV laser therapy offers a breakthrough solution that gets you back to wearing your favorite shoes and enjoying activities without embarrassment—often in just a few comfortable sessions.

What Is Class IV Laser Therapy?

Class IV laser therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to eliminate fungal infections beneath your toenails. Unlike painful procedures or medications with harsh side effects, this advanced technology targets and destroys fungus while leaving your healthy nail and surrounding skin completely unharmed.

It’s a targeted treatment that restores nail health without affecting surrounding tissue. It delivers exactly what's needed to restore healthy, clear nails without the hassle of traditional treatments.

Why Choose Laser Treatment Over Traditional Methods?

Faster Results, Fewer Appointments

While topical creams may take several months to show noticeable changes, our laser therapy delivers visible improvement much sooner. With quick sessions that typically last around 30 minutes, it’s an efficient option that easily fits into your schedule.

Virtually Pain-Free Experience

Most patients describe the sensation as simply feeling warm during treatment—no injections, no cutting, no lengthy recovery period. You can return to your normal activities immediately after each session.

High Success Rates

Most patients experience significant nail clarity improvement and a complete cure rate. These results speak for themselves when compared to the disappointing outcomes many patients experience with drugstore remedies.

Is Laser Therapy Right for You?

This treatment is ideal if you:

  • Want to avoid oral medications and their potential side effects
  • Need a solution that fits your active lifestyle
  • Have tried topical treatments without success
  • Prefer a non-invasive approach with minimal discomfort
  • Want to see results quickly rather than waiting months for visible changes

Important Considerations

While laser therapy is highly effective and safe, it's important to understand:

  • Investment in Your Health: While laser therapy may cost more upfront than over-the-counter options, it delivers targeted, clinically proven results that many OTC products can’t match. Instead of spending months on ineffective remedies, laser therapy offers a more efficient path to healing.
  • Prevention Matters: Maintaining good foot hygiene after treatment helps prevent reinfection. We'll provide you with practical tips to keep your nails healthy long-term.
  • Professional Expertise Required: The safety and effectiveness of laser therapy depend on proper technique and calibration. Our board-certified podiatrists have extensive training in laser technology specifically for fungal nail treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need? 

Most patients see significant improvement within 2-3 sessions, though the exact number depends on the severity of your infection.

What's the difference between this and over-the-counter treatments?

Laser therapy penetrates directly through the nail to target fungus at its source, while topical treatments often struggle to reach the infection beneath thick nails.

Is it safe for people with diabetes? 

Laser therapy is often an excellent option for diabetic patients because it's non-invasive with no risk of wounds or infection. Our team at Legacy Foot & Ankle, led by Dr. Aoun, will evaluate your specific situation during the consultation.
