Aerolase laser treatment for onychomycosis (toenail fungus) in Toronto. Drug-free, painless, no downtime.
How Aerolase clears nail fungus
The 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength of Aerolase Neo Elite penetrates through the nail plate and heats the underlying fungal infection without damaging surrounding tissue. Most patients see clearing across 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, with new healthy nail growth visible as the old infected portion grows out (typically 9 to 12 months for full toenail replacement).
Why patients choose laser over oral antifungals
Oral antifungals (terbinafine, itraconazole) require liver function monitoring and have meaningful drug interactions. Topical antifungals have low cure rates because they don’t penetrate the nail plate. Aerolase delivers the energy directly to the infection without systemic exposure.
Treatment details
Each session takes about 15 to 20 minutes. No anesthetic needed. Sensation is a brief warming during each pulse. You can wear shoes immediately after treatment. Most patients see new clear nail growth visible within 8 to 12 weeks.
