What causes toenail fungus?

Dark, damp conditions or cross-contamination at home or in public spaces can cause toenail fungus. The fact that people cover up their infected toenails only make the matter worse, since it’s those exact hot, sweaty conditions that breed nail fungus.

Why treat toenail fungus with a laser?

As well as the embarrassing cosmetic and social implications of the condition, nail fungus is a contagious disease which destroys nails and can be readily passed on to other people. The affected area can be a breeding ground for other infectious diseases, and can lead to allergies that manifest themselves in the skin or lungs.

How does a laser kill toenail fungus?

As part of the Cutera Xeo laser system, our technicians use Intense Pulsed Light to target and kill toenail fungus. The concentrated wavelengths move through the toenail and vaporize the germs embedded in the nail plate that cause the fungus in the first place, all without damaging the nail itself. Using the IPL, our technicians can safely remove and prevent future outbreaks of this obnoxious condition.
