Huntsville Foot Health Centre offers breakthrough laser treatment for onychomycosis using the GenesisPlus Laser System.

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail. It is the most common disease of the nails and constitutes about a half of all nail abnormalities. The nail plate can have a thickened, yellow, or cloudy appearance. The nails can become rough and crumbly, or can separate from the nail bed. Without treatment the toenails can become so thick that they press against the inside of the shoes, causing pressure, irritation, and pain.

Our laser treatment is an alternative to topical medications which has limited efficiency, and anti-fungal pills which have associated side effects.

GenesisPlus is a new approach to addressing toenail fungus that puts patients’ safety and comfort first. The system applies laser energy to the toenail plate and surrounding tissue. The laser light gradually heats the fungus and promotes the growth of healthy, clear nails. The procedure requires no anesthetics and poses no risk of serious side effects. Treatment typically takes 10-20 minutes, and patients are able to return to regular activities immediately following the procedure.
