Our medical laser produces focused beams of intense light that precisely target and eliminate the fungus that causes athlete’s foot. The laser penetrates the top layer of skin to heat up and destroy fungal overgrowth without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. Laser therapy helps resolve symptoms like inflammation and itching in a few short sessions. Multiple treatments may be required to eradicate stubborn skin infections.
