Melbourne Nail Laser Clinic

Other Lase​rs

When we started using laser to treat Onychomycosis 15 years ago there was only one laser on the market to treat Onychomycosis and that was the Pinpointe Foot Laser. Since then it seems that every laser company has a laser that works better than all their competitors. The difficult thing is for a member of the public to make a decision on which is the best laser. There are so many lasers on the market that it makes the decision process very difficult. For instance the PACT system seems to cost around $120 yet the purchase price of the Lunula Laser we are using is well over 10 times the purchase price of the PACT system we are only charging $170 per treatment. Every patient must do their own research and decide what they feel is best for them or they can trust us, we do the research and decide what is the best system on the market we are only interested in providing the best technology that is currently available. These pages contain information that is readily available over the internet. It is being reposted here for any interested patients to read if there is any other research available we would love to be made aware of it.

Fox Arc 


In the advertising brochure that comes from Fox it states: The investigator concluded that the laser therapy was safe, well tolerated and very effective in promoting the growth of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis with significant improvement 2 months after initial treatment.
There is no link to research to back this up contained in this brochure.

PACT 

We bought a PACT light to try it 3 years ago we were promised a research paper was on the way but 3 years later we are still waiting to receive it. We have tried it and found it to be time consuming and results poor.

We attach brochures:
