Nail Fungus
- Diode lasers with a wavelength of 1064nm are effective to treat nail fungus as the light is well-absorbed by the fungal cells and is able to reach the infection site through the nail.
- The laser light heats up and damages the fungal cells without causing harm to the surrounding healthy tissue.
- One of the main advantages of diode laser treatment is that it is non-invasive and requires no recovery time, making it a convenient option for patients.
- Additionally, the laser can penetrate the nail plate and reach the infection beneath it, which is often difficult for topical treatments to achieve.
- This method also has a low risk of side effects compared to oral antifungal medications, making it a safer choice for many patients.
