the most effective and popular way to eliminate toenail fungus.

How Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment Works

When undergoing a laser toenail fungus treatment, a medical professional will apply a directed focused light source on to a toe that is infected. The laser toenail fungus treatment will target the fungal infection in the toenail and the area below called the toenail matrix. Laser toenail fungus treatment will destroy the fungal infection and should be relatively painless because the toenail is deadcells. The specific wavelength of the laser toenail fungus treatment targets only the living fungi.

•1064nm Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, attracted to both water and melanin.
•660nm red visible light
•940nm near infrared light

NdYAG Laser

NdYAG Lasers are optically pumped lasers that use laser diodes of flashlamps to produce laser energy in the 1064nm (nanometer) spectrum. This light is in the infared, though it will transition through other wavelengths as well (940/1120/1320/1440 nm). They are used for medical procedures such as this one. The laser light is produced by passing photons through a crystal of yttrium aluminum garnet which is doped with triply ionized nedoynium which replaces the yttrium in the garnet.

Restrictions on Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment

Generaly there are no health or age restrictions with laser toenail fungus treatments.
