If you’ve struggled with stubborn nail fungus that keeps coming back—or never quite goes away—you’re not alone. Many patients have tried over-the-counter creams, only to find the infection lurking beneath the nail months later. More people in West Valley City and Orem are asking about our long-term toenail fungus solution: Lunula Laser.
This FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment is pain-free, side-effect-free, and, most importantly, designed for lasting results. Here at Michael L. Wach, DPM, we’re proud to offer this innovative approach to patients who are tired of short-term fixes and want healthy, clear nails for good.
Let’s explore why Lunula Laser differs, how it works, and why it may be the most effective long-term solution for toenail fungus.
Why Traditional Treatments Often Fail
Before explaining how the Lunula Laser works, it helps to understand why some standalone treatments don’t always succeed.
Topical creams can be messy and frustrating, especially since they often can’t penetrate the thick keratin of the nail plate. Despite consistent use, many patients see little improvement after months of daily application.
Oral antifungal medications are more powerful and often necessary in moderate to severe cases. However, success depends on proper dosing, medical supervision, and sometimes combining them with complementary treatments like laser therapy. Dr. Wach often prescribes antifungal medication and takes the necessary precautions—such as blood monitoring for liver health—to ensure safe, effective treatment.
A dual approach using Lunula Laser and oral antifungals often delivers better results than either option alone.
What Is Lunula Laser—and Why Is It Different?
Lunula Laser is a cold laser system cleared by the FDA to treat onychomycosis, the medical term for toenail fungus. Unlike traditional hot lasers that generate heat and can cause discomfort, the Lunula system uses low-level laser therapy (LLLT). That means no heat, no pain, and no downtime.
But what truly sets Lunula apart is how it works.
Cold Laser Technology for Deep Penetration
The laser light penetrates directly through the nail plate and into the nail bed, where fungus hides and thrives. By reaching this deeper level without damaging surrounding tissue, Lunula gets to the root of the infection.
Bio-Stimulation for Natural Healing
Rather than simply killing fungus, Lunula Laser promotes natural healing and nail regrowth by stimulating the body’s immune response. It enhances circulation and cellular repair, encouraging the nail to become clear and strong.
This dual action—targeting fungus and supporting the body’s healing—makes it a powerful and effective long-term solution for toenail fungus.
Key Benefits of Lunula Laser for Nail Fungus
Patients often choose Lunula Laser because it fits easily into their lifestyle and offers peace of mind:
- Completely Painless: There is no heat sensation during treatment. You won’t feel a thing.
- No Downtime: Go back to your normal activities immediately after each session.
- Quick Appointments: Each session takes about 12 minutes per foot.
- Safe for Most Patients: Lunula Laser is noninvasive, making it a great option for many patients.
- FDA-Cleared: You can trust that this technology has been thoroughly evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Lunula Laser?
Lunula Laser is ideal for anyone seeking a safe and lasting solution to toenail fungus, especially:
- Adults who’ve had no luck with oral or topical antifungals
- People with diabetes and elderly patients with sensitive skin or circulation issues
- Anyone looking for a non-invasive, long-term toenail fungus solution with no downtime
Even if you’ve had nail fungus for years, Lunula may still help restore the look and health of your nails.
