What is Lunula?

The Lunula uses lasers that penetrate past the nail plate, allowing a greater flow of blood to the toes. This increased blood creates an increased immune response allowing tissue regeneration to begin, which destroys the fungus.


Whilst healing may occur from the start of your first treatment, there may be no noticeable difference in the appearance of the nails until several months post treatment.

FAQ’s

It's important to discuss these questions with your podiatrist to understand the best course of treatment for a fungal toenail infection.

      What is Lunula Laser Treatment?

           Lunula Laser Treatment is a non-invasive, painless treatment for toenail fungus that uses low-level laser technology to target the fungus and promote healthy nail growth.

      Will I need to have more than four Lunula Laser Treatments?

          Surgical nail removal can be done in your podiatrist’s clinic. Your podiatrist will give you an injection in the affected toe to prevent pain. Then your doctor will use a tool to loosen the skin around the nail and separate the nail from the skin to gently remove the entire nail. 

      Can I have the Lunula Laser Treatment whilst pregnant?

          There is limited data on the safety of Lunula Laser Treatment during pregnancy, so it is not recommended for pregnant women.



      What is the success rate of the Lunula Laser Treatment?

          The success rate of Lunula Laser Treatment is over 80% in improving the appearance of a mild or new toenail fungus. However, individual results may vary depending on the severity of the infection and the patient's overall health.

      Is there any reason why the Lunula Laser Treatment could fail to treat my fungal infection?

           Several factors can impact the effectiveness of Lunula Laser Treatment, including the severity of the toenail fungus infection, poor overall health, and failure to follow the treatment plan.

      Does pre-treatment nail removal improve Lunula Laser success for severe nail infections?

          Surgical removal of the infected nail prior to starting Lunula Laser Treatment can massively increase the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the number of required number of laser treatments.

      Can I have lunula laser treatment with metal pins and plates in my foot?

          It is generally safe to have Lunula Laser Treatment if you have metal plates and pins in your foot. However, it is important to inform your podiatrist about any metal implants or other medical conditions you may have before starting treatment.

      I have an auto-immune condition, will the Lunula Laser Treatment work for me?

          The effectiveness of Lunula Laser Treatment can be impacted by underlying health conditions, including autoimmune disorders. Your podiatrist can help determine if Lunula Laser Treatment is appropriate for you and if any precautions need to be taken during the treatment process.

      Are there any risks with the Lunula Laser Treatment?

          The Lunula Laser Treatment is not harmful to you in any way, as the device uses low power settings. No heat will be felt, unlike treatment with other lasers. Some people may feel a mild pins and needles sensation as the blood vessels dilate and the increased blood supply floods the area. However, the majority of patients feel nothing at all. 

      Will my insurance cover the cost of a course of Lunula Laser Treatment?

          Health insurance coverage for lunula cold laser treatment for fungal nails can vary depending on your specific health insurance plan and the policies of your insurance provider. While some insurance plans may cover the cost of this treatment, others may consider it as cosmetic or elective and may not provide coverage.


          To determine if your health insurance will cover the cost of lunula cold laser treatment, it is recommended to review your insurance policy or contact your insurance provider directly. They can provide you with detailed information regarding coverage, any requirements or restrictions, and whether prior authorisation is needed.

      What are the side-effects of the Lunula Laser Treatment?

          Unlike other treatments, Lunula Laser has no known side effects, pain or downtime and is the easy, convenient way to experience health, clear nails again.

Karl Eyre

First class. Modern stylish relaxing premises possessing the latest chiropractic techniques and equipment. Welcoming and friendly hospitality. I suffered from a large painful verruca for nine years. Having tried nearly every treatment under the sun and at my wits end, I decided to explore Swift microwave treatment. I live in Nottingham and the nearest place for Swift microwave treatment was Pod Chiropody & Laser Clinic. I made an appointment for a consultation and was so impressed with Zoe Zavery and her practice I went ahead with the treatment. After only one treatment using Swift microwave my verruca has now gone. I would highly recommend this treatment for anyone with a verruca. There is no pain or inconvenience immediately after the treatment. Thank you, Zoe.
