Lunula Laser is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment for fungal nail infections (onychomycosis). It uses low-level laser light to target and disrupt the fungal organisms responsible, helping the nail grow out clear and healthy over time.
At FOOTMED, we offer Lunula treatment as part of an evidence-informed approach to managing fungal nail problems. The laser uses two wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s natural immune response and disrupt fungal biofilm, without causing damage to surrounding tissue.
Treatment is carried out in our clinical environment by HCPC-registered podiatrists and is suitable for most patients, including those who prefer to avoid oral antifungal medication or have not responded to topical treatments.
Lunula Laser is entirely cold and painless, with no recovery time required. Sessions typically last around 20–30 minutes depending on the number of nails and feet being treated.
Lunula Laser is designed specifically for:
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis), affecting one or multiple toenails
Thickened, discoloured or brittle nails caused by fungal activity
Persistent infections that haven’t responded to creams, sprays or lacquers
Patients who cannot or prefer not to take oral antifungal medication
Signs you may benefit from treatment include:
White, yellow or brown patches under the nail
Nails lifting, thickening or breaking down
Changes in nail texture, odour, or appearance over time
A full consultation is required to confirm diagnosis and ensure the treatment is appropriate.
All patients begin with a Fungal Nail Consultation, which includes a full assessment of the affected nails, your medical history, and a discussion of treatment options. Where suitable, we may also offer in-clinic testing or recommend additional measures (e.g. footwear hygiene, nail reduction).
Lunula Laser is usually delivered as part of a multi-session treatment plan, with protocols tailored to the severity and extent of infection.
Treatment includes:
While results vary between individuals, many patients see visible improvement in nail clarity within 3–6 months as the healthy nail grows out. Lunula can be safely used alongside other antifungal strategies and is well tolerated by the majority of patients.
