Nail fungus also known as Onychomycosis is commonly seen in patients with the infection appearing as white, or yellow-brown spot under the nail. As the infection goes deeper, the nail may discolor, thicken and crumble at the edge.

The Aerolase Solution

The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser energy coagulates and destroys the fungus within the infected area and the nail matrix if it's been compromised.

Clinically Proven

In a  study* conduced by Lisa G. Hochman in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, using the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser, 88% of patients had negative cultures after 2 treatments

“The Aerolase laser technology is really advanced. Treatment with the handpiece doesn’t touch the skin and you don’t need any gels, so it’s very hygienic. Any area of the body can be targeted with this laser. It is gentler and less painful than traditional lasers.”

Nails and warts treatment FAQ

How does the Neo Elite's 650-microsecond technology effectively treat onychomycosis compared to traditional antifungal therapies?

The Neo Elite's unique 650-microsecond pulse duration penetrates the nail plate to reach fungal organisms in the nail bed and matrix without causing thermal damage to surrounding tissues. The laser energy disrupts fungal cell membranes and creates an inhospitable environment for fungal growth. This approach offers a safe alternative to oral antifungals, eliminating concerns about hepatotoxicity, drug interactions, and systemic side effects while achieving comparable efficacy rates.

What clinical success rates can I expect for nail fungus treatment with the Neo Elite?

Clinical studies demonstrate 60-85% clearance rates for onychomycosis with the Neo Elite protocol. Patients typically require 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart, with visible improvement beginning around 3-6 months as healthy nail grows out. Complete clearance can take 9-12 months depending on nail growth rate and infection severity. Success rates are highest when combined with topical antifungals and proper nail hygiene protocols.

How effective is the Neo Elite for wart treatment across different wart types and locations?

The Neo Elite shows excellent efficacy for plantar warts (75-90% clearance), common warts on hands/fingers (80-95%), and periungual warts (70-85%). The laser targets HPV-infected keratinocytes while stimulating local immune response. Treatment protocol typically involves 2-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Plantar warts may require additional sessions due to thicker keratinized tissue, while facial/genital warts show faster response rates.

What is the patient experience and downtime for nail fungus and wart treatments?

Nail fungus treatments are virtually painless with no downtime—patients describe a mild warming sensation. Wart treatments involve moderate discomfort (4-6/10 pain scale) but are well-tolerated without anesthesia in most cases. Post-treatment, patients may experience mild tenderness for 24-48 hours. No bandaging is required for nail treatments, while wart sites may need simple protective covering for 2-3 days. Patients can resume normal activities immediately.

Are there any contraindications or special considerations for these treatments?

Contraindications include pregnancy, active infection at treatment site, and immunocompromised states for wart treatment. For nail fungus, ensure proper diagnosis via KOH prep or culture before treatment. Diabetic patients require careful assessment of circulation and sensation. The Neo Elite's safety profile allows treatment of patients who cannot tolerate oral antifungals due to liver disease, medication interactions, or other systemic conditions.

How should I structure pricing and treatment packages for these indications?

Nail fungus packages typically range from $1,200-2,000 for 4-6 treatments (per affected nail, with discounts for multiple nails). Individual wart treatments range from $150-300 depending on size and number treated simultaneously. Many practices offer package deals for multiple warts or combination nail/wart treatments. The quick treatment times (10-15 minutes for nails, 5-10 minutes per wart) and minimal consumable costs create attractive profit margins while remaining competitive with traditional therapies.

What post-treatment protocols and maintenance recommendations should I provide patients?

For nail fungus: Emphasize proper foot hygiene, antifungal powder/sprays, moisture control, and nail trimming techniques. Consider concurrent topical antifungals for enhanced results. Monthly maintenance treatments may be beneficial for recurrent cases. For warts: Keep treatment area clean and dry, avoid picking/trauma, and monitor for recurrence. Recommend immune system support through proper nutrition and stress management. Both conditions benefit from follow-up appointments to monitor progress and provide additional treatments if needed.
