What Is Photodisinfection Therapy?

Photodisinfection therapy is a Health Canada–approved light-based treatment for toenail fungus. It is a gentle and non-invasive procedure that uses a photosensitive serum and specialized LED light to target and weaken fungal cells, allowing them to be destroyed safely. This treatment is clinically proven, safe, and has no known side effects.

How Long Does it Take?

Treating toenail fungus takes time and consistency. The full treatment plan typically lasts about 12 months, beginning with 10 sessions every two weeks. After those initial sessions, follow-up treatments are usually scheduled every six weeks.

What Can I Expect from Each Appointment?

At your first visit, our Chiropodist will debride your toenails to remove any thickened or infected areas. The photosensitive serum is then applied and left to dry for about 15 minutes before your nails are exposed to the LED light for another 15 minutes. For your second and subsequent appointments, the same process is repeated without additional debridement unless needed. The treatment is painless and does not require any special protective eyewear.

Is There Anything Else I Should Know?

The photosensitive serum temporarily stains the nails a light blue colour, which typically fades within 7–10 days. We recommend avoiding nail polish during treatment and bringing a pair of clean (preferably new) dark socks to each appointment to prevent staining.
