What Is Toenail Fungus (Onychomycosis)?
Toenail fungus is one of the most common nail conditions — and one of the most stubborn to treat without professional help.
Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that begins beneath the surface of the nail. It’s caused by microscopic organisms — most often dermatophytes — that thrive in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, public pools, and the inside of shoes.
The infection causes nails to become thickened, discolored, brittle, and misshapen. Left untreated, it can spread to neighboring toes and the surrounding skin, potentially leading to athlete’s foot or, in diabetic patients, more serious complications.
Nearly 15% of Americans have toenail fungus, and it accounts for roughly half of all toenail problems. It’s not a cosmetic inconvenience — it’s a medical condition that worsens without proper care.
Why Patients Choose Us
Diabetic Patients
About 33% of people with diabetes develop toenail fungus. Reduced circulation makes treatment and prevention more critical.
Athletes & Active Individuals
Frequent sweating, shared locker rooms, and repeated trauma to nails increase exposure and risk.
Older Adults
Nails become more brittle and blood flow decreases with age, making fungal infections more likely and harder to clear.
Frequent Pool/Gym Users
Nails become more brittle and blood flow decreases with age, making fungal infections more likely and harder to clear.
Completely Painless
No Downtime
Walk in, walk out. Resume all normal activities immediately after.
No Side Effects
No chemicals, no smoke, no risk to surrounding healthy tissue.
Clinically Proven
Backed by rigorous clinical trials and manufactured to the highest standards.
Erchonia® Lunula Laser® Therapy
The Erchonia® Lunula Laser® uses dual-diode low-level laser light to penetrate through the nail and target the fungal infection beneath — without heat, without pain, and without chemicals.
Unlike oral antifungal medications that carry liver risks or topical treatments with inconsistent results, the Lunula Laser promotes cellular regeneration and inhibits fungal growth — fostering the growth of clear, healthy nails over time.
Clinical trials show that 89% of patients experience positive outcomes, with an average of 5.18mm of clear nail growth within just six months of treatment.
