Advanced Fungal Nail Care by Dr. Ben Pearl, DPM
If you’re struggling with discolored, thickened, or brittle toenails caused by fungal infection, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. At Arlington Foot and Ankle, Dr. Ben Pearl offers cutting-edge laser nail treatment to help eliminate stubborn toenail fungus and restore the health and appearance of your nails.
What Is Laser Nail Treatment?
Laser nail treatment is a non-invasive and effective solution for fungal toenails (onychomycosis). This innovative procedure uses focused laser light to penetrate the nail and destroy fungal pathogens at their source—without damaging the surrounding tissue or nail.
Unlike topical creams and oral antifungals, laser therapy treats the infection deep beneath the nail surface, offering better precision and faster results.
Benefits of Laser Nail Treatment
- Painless, quick, and safe procedure
- No downtime—resume normal activities immediately
- No side effects like those associated with oral medications
- Promotes healthy nail regrowth
- High success rates, especially with early intervention
What to Expect During Your Appointment
During your visit to our Arlington office, Dr. Pearl will assess your nails and determine if you’re a good candidate for laser treatment. The procedure itself typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on how many nails are affected.
- You’ll feel a mild warming sensation during treatment
- Multiple sessions may be recommended based on severity
- Improvement is gradual as the healthy nail grows out over time

Laser nail treatment is ideal for patients who:
- Have chronic or recurring toenail fungus
- Have not responded well to topical or oral treatments
- Prefer a drug-free, non-invasive approach

A: Most insurance plans consider it a cosmetic procedure, so it is usually not covered. We offer flexible payment options to make treatment accessible.

Q: Is the fungus gone for good?
A: With proper foot hygiene and follow-up care, recurrence is unlikely, but Dr. Pearl will provide guidance to reduce future risks.
Q: Does the laser hurt?
A: No! Most patients report a warming sensation, but no pain during or after the procedure.
