What is Toenail Fungus?
Millions of Americans suffer from toenail fungus, also called onychomycosis, and up until now, it has been very hard to resolve. It can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and embarrassing – holding you back from activities you enjoy. While it most likely won’t cause any other serious health issues, it can be painful and unattractive.
The fungus usually starts on one or two nails that become cloudy or discolored. Over time, the toenail may thicken, change shape, separate from the toe, and develop a yellowish crumbly material underneath it.
Why Do I Have Toenail Fungus?
People who wear shoes that keep their feet sweaty and moist are more likely to get toenail fungus than people who don’t. Diabetics and people with a compromised immune system are also at risk. It can spread from person to person by sharing a towel or nail clippers and by walking barefoot, so it’s not uncommon for several people in the same house to have it.
Many people have tried and failed to treat their toenail fungus. From home remedies to topical antifungals to oral medications (such as Terbinafine), many people have tried it all.

Frequently Asked Questions about Remy and Lunula Laser Treatment
What is the Lunula Laser?
The Lunula Laser uses low level laser light to target onychomycosis, more commonly known as fungus. Because the laser light can pass through the nail, it can work on getting rid of the fungus that lives below it. The laser does this without causing any damage to the nail or the skin around it. It’s pain-free, there are no known side effects, and there is no downtime or recovery time required. In fact, as little as four short sessions are needed to treat the affected area.
Is the laser FDA-Approved?
How does the Lunula Laser work?
*NO + ROS = peroxynitrite destroys fungal pathogens*
The 635 nm laser enhances mitochondrial energy metabolism, which generates NO, and this is combined with the 405 nm laser, which generates ROS, and produces peroxynitrite. This by-product is cytotoxic and destroys pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
Can a patient become re-infected with fungus once there is clearance?
It is recommended for patients to take other precautions to prevent re-infection. Recommendations include using anti-fungal spray after wearing closed-toe shoes and spraying their showers with Tylex or another cleanser, all with the hope of preventing re-infection.
How does the Remy laser work?
- The laser’s heat disrupts the fungus’s structure and metabolic processes
- The laser stimulates the immune system to fight the infection
- The laser promotes the growth of healthy nail tissue
What are the advantages of the Erchonia Lunula onychomycosis laser device?
The Lunula produces two wavelengths, 635 nm and 405 nm, both of which have been enriched by a proprietary rotating line-generated laser beam. The Lunula’s specially designed delivery mechanism maximizes both photon concentration and treatment surface area.
The Lunula’s patented delivery system ensures that all infected tissue, nail bed, and most importantly, the proximal germinal/matrix tissue is properly targeted and treated. Once a fungus becomes entrenched in your nail, the same barrier that was effective in protecting against infection, now works to protect the fungus. This makes it difficult for topical creams and polishes to treat the fungus because it’s very hard for them to reach the fungus. The laser light passes through the nail to target the fungus, offering new hope in treating this condition.
