Non-invasive Way to Treat both Fingernail and Toenail Fungus
Genesis Plus is an FDA-cleared, comfortable, effective and non-invasive way to treat both fingernail and toenail fungus. Patients here in our Bloomfield, Connecticut practice now have a treatment option that does not involve taking medication that may be toxic to the liver and the inconvenience of frequent blood tests to monitor liver function.
The treatment works by directing the laser light beam on the nail and surrounding skin, destroying the fungus embedded in the nail bed and nail plate. Two to four treatments are generally required* with frequency depending on the severity of the disease.
