Lunula Laser

The Problem

Fungal nail infections are extremely common and can be frustrating to treat.

Affected nails often become:

• Thickened
• Discoloured
• Brittle
• Distorted
• Difficult to cut and maintain

While fungal nails are often painless, they can affect confidence, footwear comfort, and overall foot health.

Traditional treatment options, such as topical medications, may require prolonged use and often struggle to penetrate the nail effectively. Oral medications can be effective for some people, but are not suitable for everyone.

Many patients are therefore looking for a safe, non-invasive treatment option that does not involve medication or surgery.

How We Treat It

Lunula Laser is a low-level laser treatment designed to improve the appearance of fungal nails and support healthier nail growth.

Unlike many other laser systems, Lunula Laser does not generate heat and is completely pain-free.

Treatment involves placing the feet inside the laser device while specific wavelengths of light are delivered to the affected nails.

A typical treatment course involves multiple sessions over several weeks.

Lunula Laser may be used alongside:

• Nail thinning and reduction
• Skin & Nail Care
• Foot hygiene advice
• Footwear advice
• Management of athlete's foot
• Long-term nail maintenance strategies

As healthy nail growth is naturally slow, improvement typically occurs gradually as new nail grows from the base.

Why Masterton Foot Clinic

Masterton Foot Clinic was the first clinic in New Zealand to introduce Lunula Laser technology.

We have over a decade of experience using Lunula Laser in our fungal nail management services and have helped many patients improve the appearance and health of their nails.

Importantly, fungal nail management is rarely about a single treatment alone.

The best outcomes are typically achieved through a combination of appropriate diagnosis, nail management, skin care, footwear advice, and strategies designed to reduce reinfection.

Our goal is to help patients make informed decisions about the treatment options available and select an approach that aligns with their goals, lifestyle, and expectations.
