Nd:YAG Candela Nordlys Laser Treatment for Nail Fungus
Safe, Effective & Non-Invasive Solution for Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) can be stubborn, unsightly, and difficult to treat. Traditional treatments like oral medications and topical antifungals often have limited success or require long-term use.
The Nd:YAG laser treatment with the Candela Nordlys system offers a modern, highly effective, and safe alternative for tackling stubborn nail fungus by penetrating deep into the nail bed and eliminating the fungal infection at its source.
Why Choose Nd:YAG Candela Nordlys for Nail Fungus?
✔ FDA-Approved & Clinically Proven – Nd:YAG laser technology is scientifically tested and proven to effectively treat fungal infections.
✔ Non-Invasive & Safe – No oral medications, no side effects, no downtime.
✔ Deep Penetration for Maximum Effectiveness – The Nd:YAG laser reaches beneath the nail plate, eliminating the fungus at its source.
✔ Quick & Painless Procedure – Sessions last 10-30 minutes, depending on the severity.
✔ Encourages Healthy Nail Growth – Stimulates natural nail regrowth, restoring clearer, healthier nails over time.
How Does Nd:YAG Laser Work for Nail Fungus?
The Candela Nordlys Nd:YAG laser delivers precise, controlled pulses of infrared laser energy, which:
1️⃣ Heats & Destroys Fungal Cells – The laser penetrates through the nail plate, targeting fungal spores without damaging the surrounding skin.
2️⃣ Inhibits Fungal Growth – The heat disrupts the fungus’s metabolism, preventing further infection spread.
3️⃣ Stimulates Natural Healing – Enhances blood circulation around the nail bed, promoting faster, healthier nail regrowth.
Over time, the infected portion of the nail grows out, revealing a clear, healthy nail underneath.
What Can Nd:YAG Laser Treat?
✅ Mild to Severe Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
✅ Thickened, Discolored, or Brittle Nails
✅ Fungal Infections Resistant to Topical & Oral Medications
✅ Recurring Nail Fungus
💡 This treatment is suitable for both fingernails and toenails.
Treatment Program & Frequency
📅 Recommended Course:
We recommend before starting your course that your throw away, replace any infected shoes or socks and buy some medicated talc and spray.
- 4–6 sessions for mild to moderate fungal infections
- 6–10 sessions for severe or long-standing infections
- Sessions are typically spaced 4 weeks apart
📅 Maintenance Treatments:
- Some patients benefit from occasional maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to prevent recurrence.
What to Expect During & After Treatment
How Does Nd:YAG Laser Feel?
✔ Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warming or tingling feeling as the laser pulses through the nail.
✔ Some may feel a slight pinching or heat sensation, but it is very tolerable.
✔ No anesthesia or numbing cream is required.
What Happens After Treatment?
✔ No downtime – Resume daily activities immediately.
✔ The infected nail does not clear instantly – healthy new nail growth appears gradually over several months.
✔ Visible improvement begins within 2-3 months, but full nail regrowth may take 6-12 months (as nails grow slowly).
When Will I See Results?
It can take unto one year for the toe nail to grow out from the base to the tip.
📅 After 1–2 sessions: Initial fungal activity is reduced, but visible changes may take time.
📅 After 4–6 sessions: New, healthier nail growth starts appearing.
📅 After 6+ sessions: Nails continue to improve, with clearer, stronger regrowth over time.
📅 Long-Term: Proper aftercare helps prevent reinfection for lasting results.
Is Nd:YAG Laser Safe for Nail Fungus?
✅ FDA-Approved & CE Certified – Clinically tested and proven for safety and effectiveness.
✅ No Harm to Surrounding Skin or Nail Bed – The laser precisely targets fungal spores without damaging healthy tissue.
✅ No Side Effects – Unlike oral antifungals, there’s no risk of liver toxicity or systemic side effects.

How to Prevent Nail Fungus from Returning
✔ Practice Good Foot & Nail Hygiene – Keep nails clean and dry, and avoid prolonged damp conditions.
✔ Change Socks & Shoes Regularly – Wear breathable footwear and change socks daily.
✔ Avoid Walking Barefoot in Public Areas – Swimming pools, gyms, and locker rooms are common breeding grounds for fungi.
✔ Disinfect Nail Tools & Shoes – Regularly clean clippers, nail files, and footwear to prevent reinfection.
✔ Use Antifungal Sprays or Powders – Helps keep shoes and socks free of fungal spores.
💡 Combining laser treatment with proper hygiene dramatically reduces the risk of reinfection.
