Say goodbye to stubborn toenail fungus (onychomycosis) with Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve the appearance of nails affected by onychomycosis (toenail fungus). Using advanced Nd:YAG 1064nm laser technology, this treatment delivers controlled laser energy deep beneath the nail plate, effectively targeting and disrupting the fungal infection without harming the surrounding tissue.
The heat generated by the laser penetrates the nail bed, destabilising fungal cells and inhibiting their growth, promoting healthier, clearer nails over time. Unlike oral antifungal medications, which may carry systemic side effects, Laser Genesis offers a safe, drug-free alternative with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
