Laser fungal treatment is a modern method that uses a focused beam of laser light. The process gently heats the nail plate and surrounding tissues, effectively destroying the harmful microorganisms responsible for the infection. The results are long-lasting, though regular check-ups and occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to ensure the best outcomes.
