ABSTRACT

The high temperatures achieved by lasers could potentially eradicate mycoses by inhibiting growth, damaging and killing fungi.
Given the paucity of research in this area, the authors designed and conducted a descriptive, open, quasi-experimental, prospective and longitudinal study to evaluate laser treatment in a population of patients with onychomycosis.
