Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) affects millions of people and can lead to thick, discoloured, and brittle nails. For many, it is not just a cosmetic issue – it can impact mobility, comfort, and confidence. If you have had traditional treatments for toenail fungus and have found limited success, ToeFX may offer a safe, and effective alternative.
What Is ToeFX?
ToeFX is a drug-free, non-invasive therapy designed to treat toenail fungus. This technology uses a combination of a light-activated solution painted onto the nail and different wavelengths of coloured light which activates the solution. The blue wavelengths damage the fungal pathogens, causing immediate death to targeted pathogens as well as weakening the pathogen’s immune defences. The red wavelengths increase blood flow to the nail and improves the body’s immune response on the weakened pathogens without damaging surrounding tissues. Unlike oral antifungal medications which may come with side effects, or topical treatments that often struggle to penetrate the nail plate, ToeFX delivers treatment directly to the source of the infection.
How Effective is ToeFX?
Clinical studies involving 217 nails have shown that up to 73% of patients experienced an increase in nail clarity after completing one 12-minute course of treatment. Visibly clearer nails are expected in as little as 3 months. Other benefits include:
- Safe for use for patients with diabetes or compromised immune systems
- No known side effects or drug interactions
- No systemic absorption (treatment is localized to the nail area)
- Suitable for patients unable or unwilling to take antifungal medications
Is ToeFX Right For you?
ToeFX may be a good option if you:
- Have persistent or reoccurring fungal nail infections
- Cannot tolerate oral antifungal medications
- Are seeking non-pharmaceutical, low-risk treatment option
- Prefer a safe, science-based approach to nail care
A brief clinical assessment can determine whether you are a candidate for this treatment. Or our team will evaluate your nails and review your health history to provide a tailored care plan that satisfies your needs.
What Can You Expect During Treatment?
ToeFX treatments are clinically supervised and completely pain free. Each session typically includes:
- Nail Preparation: The nail is gently filed to remove debris to enhance light absorption
- Application of Solution: A photosensitive liquid is applied to the affected nails
- Light Activation: The nail is exposed to red and blue LED light for approximately 12 minutes, activating the solution and targets fungal pathogens.
- Aftercare: No downtime is required; patients can resume normal activity immediately.
Most patients require weekly sessions for 6-10 weeks, depending on the severity of the infection.
