Nail Fungus Removal
Nail Fungus Removal at NewU MedSpa in Cicero, IL uses the Alma Harmony XL Pro to safely eliminate fungal infections and restore clear, healthy nails without medication.
What Is Nail Fungus Removal?
Nail Fungus Removal is a laser-based treatment that targets and destroys the fungal organisms responsible for onychomycosis. The Alma Harmony XL Pro uses precise laser energy to heat and eliminate the fungus beneath and within the nail plate, without damaging surrounding skin or tissue. As the nail grows out following treatment, healthy, clear nail replaces the previously infected nail.
How Does Nail Fungus Removal Work?
During the procedure, the Alma Harmony XL Pro delivers controlled laser energy through the nail plate to the nail bed, where the fungus resides. The laser’s heat disrupts the cellular structure of the fungus, effectively killing it. The treatment is safe, quick, and requires no anesthesia. Most sessions take only 20–30 minutes depending on the number of nails being treated.
