Laser Treatment For Toenail Fungus In Michigan Using The Remy Class IV Laser

Why Choose Laser Treatment at Legacy Foot & Ankle?

Targets Fungus at the Source

Traditional topical treatments often struggle to penetrate the thick surface of a fungal nail, leaving the infection underneath untouched. The Remy Class IV Laser, however, bypasses this limitation by using focused light energy to reach the root of the infection. This process heats and eliminates the fungal organisms without damaging surrounding tissue, ensuring a more complete and lasting result.

This focused approach allows us to treat even the most stubborn fungal cases, often after just a few sessions. Unlike oral antifungal medications, which circulate through the bloodstream and may affect the liver, laser therapy works locally-offering powerful results with fewer health risks.

Safe, Comfortable, and Non-Invasive

Laser treatment is entirely non-surgical and is painless for most patients. Each session typically lasts between 20 and 30 minutes per foot, and there’s no need for injections, anesthesia, or downtime. Most patients report only a slight warming or tingling sensation, making it a comfortable solution for individuals of all ages, including those with diabetes or compromised immune systems.

Because the treatment is gentle, it can be performed as an outpatient procedure in our office. You can walk out the door and return to your daily routine immediately-no bandages, no crutches, and no interruption to your lifestyle.

No Side Effects or Downtime

Oral antifungal medications have been linked to side effects such as digestive issues, skin reactions, and liver damage-especially with long-term use. With laser therapy, there are no internal side effects, and you won’t need post-treatment medications. This means you can achieve clear nails without compromising your overall health.

Laser therapy is also ideal for those who cannot tolerate antifungal pills or have pre-existing liver conditions. With no downtime required, you can continue with your day immediately after each session, making it a convenient and safe solution.

Promotes Healthy Nail Regrowth

Once the fungal infection is eliminated, your nails will start to grow back naturally over the course of several months. During this time, you’ll notice gradual improvements in nail clarity, thickness, and color. Our team will guide you on post-treatment care to ensure your nails grow back stronger and healthier, reducing the risk of reinfection.

We may recommend additional foot hygiene practices, topical supplements, and breathable footwear to support healthy nail regrowth. This holistic approach ensures that your investment in treatment delivers long-term results.

What to Expect During Laser Fungal Nail Treatment

Your journey to healthier nails starts with a thorough evaluation by one of our board-certified podiatrists. We'll assess the severity of your toenail fungus, identify any contributing factors (like excessive sweating or improper footwear), and determine if laser treatment is the right solution for you.

Each laser session typically lasts 20–30 minutes per foot, depending on the number of nails being treated. The treatment plan involves one session per month for six months to achieve optimal results. During treatment, the Remy laser targets the fungal cells with pinpoint precision, heating them enough to destroy the infection without harming surrounding tissue.

After your session, there’s no need for bandages, topical medications, or downtime. You'll be free to go about your day, and as your new nail growth emerges, you'll see your nails regain their natural clarity and strength.

Common Signs of Toenail Fungus

Toenail fungus can start subtly and worsen over time if left untreated. Many patients don’t realize the extent of the condition until it starts affecting multiple nails or causing discomfort while walking. Early detection and treatment can prevent permanent damage.

Common signs of toenail fungus include:

• Yellow, white, or brown discoloration of the toenail
• Thickened, brittle, or misshapen nails
• Separation of the nail from the nail bed
• Crumbly or powdery texture
• Foul odor or discomfort in shoes or while walking

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule a consultation. Early treatment leads to better and faster outcomes.
