What is Nail Fungus?
Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a fungal infection that affects the toenails or fingernails. This condition typically begins as a white or yellow spot under the nail and can spread deeper into the nail bed, leading to thickening, discoloration, and brittleness. Without treatment, the infection can worsen, causing pain and damage to the nail and surrounding skin.
Nail fungus is caused by various types of fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments, such as locker rooms, showers, and swimming pools. The infection can develop from direct contact with the fungus or through small cuts in the skin around the nail. People with weakened immune systems, diabetes, or circulatory problems are more susceptible to nail fungus. Wearing tight-fitting shoes or frequently having wet feet can also increase the risk of developing this condition.
Nail Fungus Treatment Options
At Vital Clinic & Spa, we offer advanced treatments to target and eliminate nail fungus, helping you regain healthy, clear nails. Our treatment options are safe, effective, and suitable for most skin types.
- Spectrum Laser/IPL
The Spectrum Laser uses advanced laser technology to effectively heat and kill nail fungus. It emits light energy that penetrates the nail and heats the fungal cells beneath the surface. This process destroys the fungus without harming the surrounding skin or tissue. Spectrum laser treatment is a quick, non-invasive procedure with no downtime, making it a convenient option for clients seeking fast and efficient results.
Downtime: None. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Post-Treatment Care: Keep the treated area clean and dry. Use antifungal creams or sprays as directed by our medical team to prevent recurrence.

Aerolase® Neo is another cutting-edge laser therapy available at Vital Clinic & Spa. This non-invasive laser technology uses short bursts of light to target fungal infections in the nails while minimizing heat damage to the surrounding tissue. The Aerolase® laser is highly effective for stubborn fungal infections, delivering deeper penetration to ensure comprehensive treatment. With its advanced design, the Aerolase® laser minimizes discomfort and requires no anesthesia.
Downtime: None. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Post-Treatment Care: Maintain clean and dry nails. Follow our team’s recommendations on using antifungal solutions to prevent future infections. - Topical Antifungal Medication
Topical antifungal treatments are often used in conjunction with laser therapy to treat mild to moderate cases of nail fungus. These medications work by inhibiting fungal growth and promoting healing of the nail bed. - Oral Antifungal Medication
For more severe or persistent infections, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed for a period of 3 months. These medications work systemically to treat the infection from the inside out.

Testimonials & 5-star Client Reviews
Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
