Get Clearer Nails:
Advanced Toenail Fungus Treatment in Sugar Land
Most patients who land here have been dealing with the same thoughts:
“My nails look embarrassing.”
“I’m tired of hiding my feet.”
“I’ve tried everything… why won’t this go away?”
Nail fungus is stubborn, but it responds extremely well when treated with the right combination of laser technology, medical-grade topicals, and proper diagnosis.
At Vargas Foot Specialists, our Lunula Laser Protocol is non-invasive, painless, and clinically proven to restore clear nails safely — without oral medications or downtime.
What Nail Fungus Really Is
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is an infection that lives under the nail, feeding on the nail’s keratin.
It’s not dangerous, but it’s disfiguring, persistent, and spreads easily.

Most patients notice:
Yellow, brown, or white discoloration
Thick, crumbly or brittle nails
A distorted nail shape
A cloudy or streaked appearance
A musty odor
Spread to other nails or family members
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is an infection that lives under the nail, feeding on the nail’s keratin.
It’s not dangerous, but it’s disfiguring, persistent, and spreads easily.
Why Nail Fungus Is So Hard to Treat
Fungus lives under your nail, not on the surface.
Creams, polishes, and home remedies rarely penetrate deep enough to kill the infection.
Oral medications work for some patients, but they:
Can stress the liver
Require blood tests
Have significant drug interactions
Often don’t prevent recurrence
Traditional lasers can be hot and painful, and they only treat one part of the fungal cycle.
Lunula changes that completely.
Our Proven 3-Step Approach to Restoring Clear Nails
1. Lunula Cold Laser Therapy
What it does:
The Lunula Laser uses two low-level (cold) wavelengths to attack fungus at the cellular level and boost your body’s natural immunity.
- Blue wavelength weakens and disables fungal cells
- Red wavelength improves circulation and stimulates your immune response
Unlike hot lasers, Lunula is painless, non-thermal, and safe for all patients.
Why it works:
It treats both the fungus and the environment where fungus thrives — something no topical or drug can do alone.
Benefits:
- No heat, no pain
- No anesthesia
- No burning or nail damage
- Safe for diabetics
- Treats all infected nails in one session
Results:
Most patients need 4–6 sessions spaced weekly.
Clear nail growth begins visible in 6–8 weeks, with full results emerging as the nail grows out.
Studies show 80–90% clinical improvement, even in stubborn or long-standing infections.
2. Tolcylen Medical-Grade Antifungal Products
Lunula handles the deep infection. Tolcylen handles the surface environment and keeps fungus from returning.
We use Tolcylen because:
- It contains antifungal ingredients
- It breaks down thick nails
- It hydrates and repairs the nail plate
- It reduces discoloration
- It penetrates far better than OTC products
Patients typically use:
- Tolcylen Solution
- Tolcylen Nail Renewal Cream (for thick or damaged nails)
This combination supports the laser and prevents reinfection.
3. Nail Biopsy (When Indicated)
Not every thick or discolored nail is fungal.
Some nails look fungal but are actually:
- Psoriasis
- Trauma
- Yeast infections
- Dermatitis
- Mixed infections
A nail biopsy lets us confirm the exact organism and rule out conditions that mimic fungus.
This improves treatment accuracy and prevents wasted time and money.
We often recommend biopsy when:
- Only one nail is affected
- The nail is extremely thick
- A patient has already tried treatment elsewhere
- The pattern is unusual
- Symptoms have lasted over a year
Proper diagnosis = proper treatment.
Why Our Approach Works Better Than Traditional Options
Compared to oral medications:
- No liver monitoring
- No drug interactions
- No side effects
- Higher long-term success
Compared to drugstore topicals:
- Better penetration
- Active ingredients strong enough to make a difference
- Addresses root cause, not just the surface
Compared to “hot” lasers:
- No pain
- No heat
- Treats all nails at once
- Higher patient tolerance and compliance
What to Expect
Your treatment plan typically includes:
1. Exam + nail biopsy (if needed)
2. Initial Lunula session
3. Weekly sessions for 4–6 weeks
4. Tolcylen regimen at home
5. Follow-ups every 6–8 weeks to monitor nail growth
New, healthy nail grows slowly — about 1 mm per month — but the transformation is steady and predictable.
Most patient see:
Reduced discoloration
Thinner, healthier nail plate
Normal nail shape returning
No further spread
Don’t Wait — Fungus Spreads and Gets Harder to Treat
Nail fungus:
➡️ – Gets deeper with time ➡️ -Thickens the nail permanently. ➡️ -Spreads to other nails. ➡️ -Spreads to family members. ➡️ -Becomes more resistant to treatment
Early treatment = faster and more complete results.
