ToeFX Light Therapy for Fungal Toenails in Ottawa

Becky & Co. Medical Foot Care offers nurse-led ToeFX treatment for clients with a previously diagnosed fungal toenail infection (onychomycosis). Each visit combines professional nail care, a light-sensitive serum, ToeFX light therapy, progress photos and practical home-care guidance.

ToeFX is a non-invasive, drug-free light treatment, not a laser. Our Registered Nurses assess the health of your feet as well as the affected nails and tailor the treatment plan to you.

Who can book ToeFX?

Before starting treatment, you should have a fungal nail diagnosis from a physician or nurse practitioner. Thick or discoloured nails can have other causes. Your nurse will review your health information and examine your feet and nails; if something needs further assessment, we may recommend seeing an appropriate healthcare professional before proceeding.

What happens at an appointment?

  • Foot and nail assessment, with clinical photographs to establish a baseline

  • Careful trimming and thinning (debridement) of affected nails

  • Photographs after debridement to help track changes at each visit

  • Application of the ToeFX light-sensitive serum, followed by ToeFX Therapy Light

  • Home-care advice and a plan for follow-up

The serum can leave a temporary blue colour on the nails that gradually fades. The light treatment involves no needles or cutting into the skin, and there is no significant downtime.

Treatment schedule and results

Active appointments are generally scheduled every two weeks. A typical program may involve approximately 8–12 treatments, although some clients need more. Once nails are clearing, maintenance visits may be recommended about every 6–8 weeks. Toenails grow slowly, so visible improvement may take months: healthier nail must grow forward from the base. We use progress photos to help assess the response and adjust the plan.

Results vary and cannot be guaranteed. Fungal infection can recur. ToeFX does not replace an appropriate medical diagnosis or other medical care; if your nails are not progressing as expected, we will reassess and recommend further medical assessment when appropriate.

ToeFX pricing

Initial treatment — $120, 60 minutes. For one or both feet. Includes assessment, clinical and post-debridement photos, professional nail debridement, serum and light therapy, home-care education and a personalized plan.

Follow-up treatment — $100, 45 minutes. For one or both feet. Includes reassessment, debridement, progress photos, serum and light therapy, home-care review and monitoring.

How to prepare

Please arrive without nail polish and bring clean, dark-coloured socks, as the temporary blue serum colour may transfer. Bring an up-to-date medication list and relevant health information. You are welcome to bring a book or device for the treatment time.

Home care matters

Your nurse may recommend a nail-care product and shoe hygiene as part of your individual plan. Clean socks, thoroughly dried feet, dry and rotated footwear, laundering towels and socks, and avoiding shared nail tools can help reduce reinfection risk. Follow the instructions your nurse gives you.
