FAQ
How does the treatment work?
The Nordlys Nd:YAG laser emits infrared light, which is aimed at the whole nail, including the nail folds. While the sub-millisecond pulse weakens the structure of the fungus, the heat produced by the light eliminates it.
How long does the treatment take?*
The innovative technology of this laser allows for faster treatment of nail fungus. During the treatment 5 laser passes are applied per nail. In most cases, the treatment takes only one session.
Is the treatment painless?
Yes. Nordlys patented cooling system continuously emits cool air across the treatment area, making it not only painless for the patient, but also comfortable.
Is this treatment more effective than antifungals or topical treatments?
Studies have shown the Nordlys Nd:YAG laser to be more effective than topical solutions and at least as effective as antifungals. However, unlike antifungals, the laser treatment does not require a long-term commitment and does not present the risk of side effects.
Is it safe?
Yes. This treatment has been clinically-proven to be safe, comfortable and effective.
