Lunula Laser is a dual-diode, low level laser device that delivers a multifaceted treatment for onychomycosis. Lunula Laser follows the principles of photochemistry, a science that explores light’s effect on cell function and behavior. The photochemical mechanism enables lunula laser to give a direct, non-contact treatment that produces no macroscopic sensation: no heating, tingling or burning. The mechanism of photochemistry is likened to the agonist effect of a drug, which describes the use of a certain molecule to start a secondary cascade. Laser therapy uses photonic energy to modulate secondary cellular reactions without the patient feeling the device working.
Lunula Laser’s impressive clinical response stems from its two therapeutic wavelengths: 405 nm (violet) and 635 nm (red). Each wavelength performs a very specific function to provide a comprehensive treatment for fungal nails. the manner in which the wavelengths are delivered represents an innovative and proprietary feature of lunula laser. Lunula administers the laser as a line-generated beam, which maximizes the treatment surface area. The fungal pathogen may not only affect multiple toes, but also may be found deep within a dystrophic nail or along the nail bed and root. the line-generated beam ensures that, regardless of where the fungal pathogen resides, an effective treatment will be administered.
