There is no perfect treatment for nail fungus, however the latest studies using lasers have shown a success rate of 80-90%. Using one of the most advanced lasers available, near infrared laser light passes through the nail killing the fungus while leaving the nail and surrounding soft tissue unharmed.

Unlike oral medications, the Nail Laser has the unique ability to attack the more than 200 fungi that can be responsible for causing this infection.  All our patients are evaluated and treated by licensed physicians. Unlike other single laser treatments, we offer a TWO treatment protocol 30 to 45 days apart to achieve the best outcome.

KeryFlex™ is a nail restoration system that uses polymer resins and special activators to create a durable, yet flexible artificial nail when exposed to a certain frequency of ultraviolet light. KeryFlex™ is NOT a treatment for onychomycosis or related nail disorders. KeryFlex™ is a safe cosmetic application that makes a toenail appear more attractive. Patients can use nail polish and nail polish remover on a KeryFlex™ nail.


Keryflex is a cosmetic procedure to limit embarrassment of affected toenails. This topical treatment lasts only 20 minutes in the office and supplies NO PAIN. It is simply applied to the affected nail, those who are discolored, brittle, chipped, or peeling, and covers the unsightliness of the nail. The treated nail acts as a normal nail in that you can cut, file, even apply nail polish.

This new nail application allows people to enjoy their lives without having to worry about the appearance of an "ugly" nail. This treatment can be used for summer months of sandals and open-toe shoes, for weddings, vacations, or any other time you would like to be free of embarrassment.

Although Keryflex will not cure your nail fungus it maintains the appearance of the nail while it helps to move the fungus off of the nail. It also helps to keep the fungus contained and limits spreading of the fungus onto the skin around the nail as well as other nails. Your doctor will prescribe safe topical medications or Laser treatment to treat the fungus as well as use the Keryflex to keep your nails looking beautiful.
