How it works

Is it fungal nail?

Fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) is one of the most common nail problems we see. Look out for:

Thickened nail
Yellow, white or brown discolouration
Brittle or crumbly edges
Nail lifting from the nail bed
Spreading to other nails

Not every thickened or discoloured nail is fungal. Injury, psoriasis and other conditions can look very similar, so we always assess your nails before recommending treatment.

How Lunula laser works

Lunula by Erchonia is a low-level, non-thermal laser. It uses two beams of light: one targets the fungus, the other supports circulation to the nail bed.

1
Rest your foot in the device

You sit comfortably while the laser treats all the nails on that foot.

2
12 minutes, pain-free

The light is non-thermal, so there is no heat. Most people feel nothing at all.

3
A clearer nail grows out

Over the following months, healthier nail grows from the base as the old nail grows out.

12 minutesShort sessions that fit around your day.
No heat, no painA non-thermal laser, so there is nothing to feel.
Drug-freeNo tablets, so no worries about side effects or interactions.
No downtimeWalk straight out and carry on as normal.

Can’t take antifungal tablets?

Because Lunula is drug-free, it can suit many people who would rather avoid oral medication, including:

  • People with diabetes
  • People taking other medicines
  • Anyone who has tried creams or paints without success
  • Anyone who would prefer to avoid tablets

We’ll check that it’s right for you at your assessment.

Why start now?

Toenails grow slowly. A big toenail takes around 12 to 18 months to fully replace itself, so the clearer nail needs time to grow out from the base.

Starting treatment in autumn gives your new nail the whole winter to grow before sandal season.

Frequently asked questions

Does Lunula laser hurt?

No. The laser is non-thermal, so there is no heat and most people feel nothing during treatment.

How long does each session take?

Each session takes 12 minutes.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually a course of 4, but sometimes more depending on the severity of your nails.

When will I see a difference?

Clearer nail grows out from the base. Fingernails grow faster than toenails, and a big toenail takes around 12 to 18 months to fully grow out. Some people can take 2 to 3 years before the nail has fully grown out.

Can I wear nail polish?

Yes, as long as your initial course has been completed. After that, only wear nail polish for very short periods.

Is there any downtime?

None. You can walk straight out and carry on with your day.

Can the infection come back?

Yes. If a fungal skin infection such as athlete’s foot is left untreated, it can reinfect the toenails. Make sure any skin infection is treated promptly, and follow the care routine we advise to help keep your nails clear.
