Laser therapy for fungal nails?
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) are common, persistent, and often resistant to traditional treatments. Our toenail fungus laser treatment uses photobiomodulation, a low-level laser that penetrates the nail plate to disrupt fungal activity at a cellular level. This technology works by stimulating circulation, enhancing immune response, and accelerating tissue repair without damaging surrounding tissue.
Patients often choose podiatrist laser treatment due to its safety, convenience, and effectiveness—especially when other treatments have failed.
Our Geelong podiatrists will assess your nail health and recommend a tailored treatment plan that supports optimal nail recovery and regrowth.
Don’t let fungal nails affect your confidence or comfort. Book your laser therapy with Total Care Podiatry today. You may also benefit from our related services, including diabetes assessments and general foot care to maintain overall foot health.
FAQs about laser therapy
Is laser treatment painful?
No. The low-level laser produces a gentle warming sensation but is not painful or uncomfortable.
Which conditions can laser therapy treat?
Used in conjunction with the other elements of your individual treatment plan, PBM Therapy is effective in the treatment of a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Some of the most common conditions treated with PBM Therapy are:
- Sprains and strains (acute & chronic)
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Plantar Fasciitis pain
- Ankle ligament sprains
- Shin splints
- Arthritic pain
- Post operative pain

How does the treatment work?
The energy you need to be active comes from a small structure in our cells called mitochondria. The mitochondria are often called the powerhouse of the cell because they take the nutrients in the cell, break them down, and turn them into energy.
When cells become stressed or damaged, the mitochondria produce nitrous oxide. This displaces oxygen from the normal process, resulting in a reduction of ATP, the chemical the body uses for energy. It also leads to the development of free radicals, which can further increase inflammation.
What are the benefits of this treatment?
Laser therapy improves tissue repair and significantly reduces pain and inflammation in the treated area. It has proven more effective and safer than Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), which often have side effects.
It is extremely useful for speedy, drug-free recovery after sporting activity, particularly when combined with manual therapy. No matter what your activity level, we aim to get you back to doing what you want, quickly and pain-free.
