The ND-YAG laser is suitable for anyone with fungal nails on the toes or fingers. Also, people who do not want or cannot use medication (such as tablets) can be safely treated with laser therapy.

Most people do not experience the treatment as painful. During the laser treatment, you feel a short-lasting warmth or tingling sensation. Our skin therapists carefully adjust the energy to your comfort level.

On average, 3 to 6 treatments are needed with intervals of 2 to 6 weeks. Because nails grow slowly, you will only see the final result fully after a few months, when the healthy nail has completely grown out.

Yes, we ask you to clean the nails beforehand, trim them short, and have any thickened or discolored parts removed. This way, the laser can penetrate better into the fungal tissue, making the treatment more effective. We recommend having this done by a pedicurist who is affiliated with ProVoet. These pedicurists work according to professional and hygienic guidelines, which contributes to an optimal result and reduces the chance of reinfection. You can choose a pedicurist in your area and schedule an appointment prior to the first laser treatment.

Yes, the ND-YAG laser is medically approved and completely safe for professional use. The treatment is not harmful to the nail matrix or surrounding skin.

After the treatment, the nails may feel warm and/or tingly; this warmth/tingling will disappear within a few hours. It is important that you prevent a new nail infection after the treatment.

The laser emits a specific wavelength that heats the fungal tissue in the nail. The heat destroys the fungal cells without damaging the nail structure. At the same time, the warmth stimulates healthier nail growth.

After the treatment, the nails may feel warm and/or tingly; this warmth/tingling will disappear within a few hours. Additionally, the color of the nail plate will change and after a few months, the nail will grow out.

The ND-YAG laser (1064nm.) works deeper and more accurately than traditional lasers. The energy penetrates beneath the nail plate, where the fungus is located, without damaging the surrounding tissue. This makes the treatment effective, safe, and virtually without recovery time.

Because toenails grow slowly, it takes a while before the healthy part of the nail becomes visible. On average, you will see after 6 to 12 weeks that the nail starts to grow out clearer and more evenly.

The final result is usually fully visible after 6 to 12 months, when the nail has completely renewed. This depends on the severity of the infection and your natural nail growth.

During this process, it is important to prevent re-infection — for example, by properly cleaning socks and shoes and using an antifungal gel. This way, the new, healthy nail remains nice and clean and free from fungus. The skin therapist will provide advice on this.

If the source of the fungus (such as socks, shoes, or a damp environment) is not addressed, the infection can return. Therefore, we always provide advice on hygiene, foot care, and product use to prevent reinfection.
