Laser Nail Treatment Guidelines and Cost

Laser treatment for Onychomycosis

Oncyhomycosis may be a very stubborn condition to treat. While there are reports of a temporary "cure"; we find that the literature and our experience shows that this condition may need periodic treatments to optimize success and desired clinical outcomes. We have extensively reviewed the literature in combination with our experience and have found that the following protocols work best:

Initial evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options discussed with patient customizing to meet realistic expectations and goals
Fungal culture results are obtained
Three laser treatments are scheduled at 6 week intervals
Both feet- $975.00; One foot- $550. This includes all three treatments
After 90 days, "touch ups" are performed as needed at $225 per session.

Recommended follow up in our office is done at 4, 8 and 12 months and thereafter as needed. Initially, we expect to see “clearing” of the nail at the back part of the nail fold (cuticle). Nail growth is slow and can take 9-12 months to fully grow out.
