GenesisPlus™ is a Nd:YAG 1064nm laser that has been cleared by the FDA to be both a safe and effective solution for the treatment of nail infection (onychomycosis), more commonly known as a toenail fungus.  Onychomycosis is a common condition estimated to affect up to 10% of the population worldwide.  It can cause nails to become yellow or discoloured.  As the infection advances the nail can become thick, brittle and separate from the nail bed.
Current treatments options for nail infection include oral & topical drugs and laser.  Oral drugs can be effective in removing the nail infection but it can cause side effects.

How does Laser GenesisPlus™ work?
The light from the laser GenesisPlus™ passes through the nail and the surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the fungi which then causes the pigment to heat and the heat then kills or damages the fungal organism.
The treatment takes around 20 minutes approximately.  Most patients see an improvement after one treatment but you may require several treatments depending on how severe each nail is infected.
