About Nail Fungus
Onychomycosis, commonly known as nail fungus, is a painful and uncomfortable skin condition that often starts small. Once the fungus penetrates into the nail bed, the nail starts to thicken and crumble. As with most fungi, nail fungus can become a painful infection and a potential health threat to the nail and to you as well.
At Canada MedLaser Aesthetic Clinics, we use highly advanced and modernized Laser Technology to treat nail fungi. It’s quick and pain-free and leaves permanent, long-lasting results. Our technology is unique in that only the harmful bacteria are targeted during Laser Treatments, leaving healthy and normal surrounding tissues untouched and unharmed.
Nail Fungus Treatments
We use advanced laser technology to isolate and treat the affected area without damaging the surrounding tissues.
When one think of laser treatments, one might think of some of the more common applications of the laser, such as removing age spots and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, lasers have also been shown to be an effective toenail fungus treatment. Nail fungus can begin as a minor annoyance. It starts as a small white or yellow spot, but as it grows, it can cause the nail to thicken and crumble. Some fungal infections resolve on their own. However, some continue to spread, become very painful and threaten the health of the nail.

Preparation & Aftercare
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a Canada MedLaser esthetician to evaluate your condition and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the Candela GentleMax Pro treatment.
- Medications: Inform your healthcare professional about any medications you are currently taking, including topical treatments or oral antifungal medications. They may provide specific instructions on whether to continue or discontinue any medication before the treatment.
- Nail preparation: Ensure that your nails are clean and free from any nail polish, lotions, or oils before the treatment. Trim your nails as much as possible to reduce thickness and facilitate better penetration of the laser energy.
- Avoid sun exposure: Limit your sun exposure and avoid tanning beds or sunbathing in the days leading up to the treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications during the laser procedure.
- Protect your treated nails: After the treatment, it is essential to protect your treated nails. Avoid applying nail polish, acrylic nails, or any other cosmetic products to the treated area for the duration recommended by your medical esthetician.
- Maintain hygiene: Keep your nails and feet clean and dry to prevent reinfection. Wash your feet daily with mild soap and water and dry them thoroughly, paying particular attention to the spaces between your toes.
- Follow prescribed medications: Your esthetician may suggest using topical antifungal medication on the treated nails. Follow their instructions carefully and apply the medication as directed to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Avoid tight footwear: Opt for shoes that provide ample room for your toes to breathe and prevent excessive sweating. Tight footwear can create a damp environment that promotes fungal growth.
- Regular follow-ups: Attend all follow-up appointments scheduled by your esthetician. They will monitor your progress, assess the effectiveness of the treatment, and provide further guidance if needed.
- Patience and consistency: Nail fungus treatment with the Candela GentleMax Pro may require multiple sessions and take some time to see significant improvements. Be patient and consistent with the recommended treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
