ToeFX Light Therapy for Fungal Nails
A Non-Laser Treatment Option for Fungal Toenails
Fungal toenail infections can be persistent and may cause changes in nail colour, thickness, and appearance.
ToeFX Light Therapy is a non-laser, light-based treatment designed for fungal toenails.
During treatment, the nails are prepared, a specialized blue serum is applied, and the affected nails are exposed to a designated red-light device.
What to Expect
Toenails grow slowly, and improvements in nail appearance may take time.
ToeFX is provided as a series of treatments. Your Foot Care Nurse will discuss the treatment schedule, expected outcomes, limitations, and appropriate nail care recommendations.
Treatment results vary, and complete clearance cannot be guaranteed.
Is ToeFX Right for You?
Not all nail changes are caused by a fungal infection.
A Foot Care Nurse can assess your nail concerns, review relevant health information, and discuss whether ToeFX may be an appropriate option or whether further medical assessment is recommended.

What to Expect During ToeFX Light Therapy
ToeFX Light Therapy involves preparing the toenails, applying a specialized serum, and exposing the nails to a designated light source.
How the Treatment Works
-
Nail Preparation: The toenails are debrided as appropriate to prepare them for application of the ClearToe Serum.
-
Serum Application: The blue ClearToe Serum is applied to the nails and left in place for approximately 15 minutes. According to the manufacturer, the serum is designed to bind to fungal cells, making them more susceptible to the subsequent light treatment.
-
Light Application: The ClearToe Therapy Light is positioned over the toenails for approximately 15 minutes.
Recommended Treatment Schedule
The manufacturer's treatment protocol consists of 12 sessions:
-
First 4 treatments: Once weekly.
-
Following 8 treatments: Every two weeks.
Ongoing Assessment and Follow-Up
Nail condition is assessed throughout the treatment course. Because toenails grow slowly, visible changes may take time.
Additional or maintenance treatments may be discussed based on individual findings and response to treatment.
Treatment outcomes vary, and complete nail clearance cannot be guaranteed.
