Laser Tx: Yes it is actually promising and effective. You can try it. Check the options before you go as few clinics offer at reduced price.

LASER...: It has been shown to be effective, but the laser treatment for toenail fungus is not covered by insurance plans, so be prepared to pay for this out-of-pocket!

Yes it can be.: Laser treatment for toenails fungus is now FDA approved. It is not however, covered by insurance. The affected toenails should first be debrided (thinned) if necessary, using a rotary tool. Podiatrists are generally the only practitioners who do this. If the nail is not properly debrided, the laser treatment may not be successful.
