Lasers for Nail Fungus.

professional who can recommend appropriate treatment options.

Self-treating with unregulated or untested devices can be dangerous
and may lead to further complications.

Is the wavelength of normal laser pointers and laser for treating nail
fungus similar?

No, the wavelength of normal laser pointers and lasers used for
treating nail fungus is not similar.
Laser pointers typically use a visible wavelength range of 400-700
nanometers (nm), which is in the visible range of the electromagnetic
spectrum. This range includes colors like red, green, and blue. The
power output of laser pointers is also typically limited to less than 5
milliwatts (mW).
In contrast, the lasers used for treating nail fungus typically use a
near-infrared wavelength range of 870-1064 nm, which is not visible
to the human eye. These lasers are designed to penetrate the nail
plate and reach the underlying fungus to destroy it. The power
output of medical lasers used for treating nail fungus is also higher
than that of laser pointers, typically ranging from 10-50 watts.
Using a laser pointer to treat nail fungus or any other medical
condition can be dangerous and is not recommended. Laser
treatment for nail fungus should only be performed by a licensed and
trained healthcare professional who has experience in using medical
lasers.
