Lunula Cold Laser Treatment
The Lunula Laser is the first and only non-thermal laser to receive FDA 510(k) Market Clearance for new clear nail growth. The Lunula Low-Level Cold Laser treatment enlists your own body’s immune response to eradicate the fungus. This fungal nail treatment uses two specific low-powered laser beams simultaneously to help destroy the fungus infecting your toenails and present in the nail bed and surrounding skin.

What is Low-Level Laser Therapy and How Does It Work?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also commonly referred to as cold laser therapy, is a form of treatment that utilises laser light to induce cellular changes and accelerate the healing process. Unlike traditional lasers, cold lasers emit a low level of light that is non-invasive and no heat effects are generated during treatment.
When used in the treatment of fungal nails, low level light therapy uses laser light that penetrates through the nail and the surrounding skin to target the fungal cells at a cellular level, triggering the body’s natural immune response to fight the fungus. This is the cold laser therapy Adelaide residents are taking advantage of.
Two laser beams used:
Blue (405nm)
This laser directly and specifically attacks the fungal cells. It causes changes in the outer wall, weakening it significantly, and allowing the body’s immune system to attack and destroy the fungal cells.
Red (635nm)
This wavelength acts on the body’s natural immune cells – strengthening them, making them more active and able to kill the weakened fungus. In addition, the red light improves blood flow, bringing nutrients and additional immune cells to the affected area which speeds up the eradication process.
