Laser Your Fungus Brea Office

Laser Your Fungus is a practice focused on laser treatment for nail fungus, with offices in Beverly Hills, Upland and Brea. Staff who perform the fingernail and toenail care are trained under the supervision of Saul Lahijani, MD, the supervising physician.

The treatments use the GenesisPlus laser system, which operates at a 1064 nm wavelength and uses a 650 nm aiming beam. The same laser can also be used for warts and scars.

A visit is an outpatient appointment with no anesthesia and no pain medication. No drugs or topical ointments are used. Clients remove nail polish, decoration and jewelry beforehand, and polish can go back on 24 hours after treatment. Most people feel a slight warmth during the procedure, and normal activities can be resumed right away.

Results take time. Toenails grow slowly, so clear toenails may take 6 to 12 months to appear. The business notes that reinfection can come from damp places such as public swimming pools.

The business describes the treatment as safe, painless and free of heat damage to the nail bed, with no side effects, and suitable for all ages. It cites clinical studies reporting that a single treatment clears the fungus and promotes clear nail growth in more than 88% of cases. It also cites the American Academy of Dermatology for the figure that onychomycosis affects 12% of Americans, and contrasts the treatment with oral and topical medicines, which it says have drawbacks such as a 12-month topical course and possible liver or kidney effects from oral medication. These are the business's own claims.

A drug-free, laser-based approach to nail fungus, with no anesthesia, medication or ointments and care provided under physician supervision.
