Ringworm, medically known as tinea, is a common fungal infection that affects the skin, scalp, or nails. It causes red, itchy, circular rashes and can spread easily through direct contact with an infected person, animal, or contaminated surfaces. While antifungal creams and oral medications are standard treatments, laser therapy is emerging as an effective, fast, and safe option for stubborn or recurrent ringworm infections.If you are suffering from ringworm that doesn’t heal with regular treatments, consult our dermatology experts to know if laser therapy is right for you. Our clinic uses the latest FDA-approved laser technology to ensure safe, effective, and lasting results for your skin health.
What Can Laser Resurfacing Treat?
Laser treatment uses focused light energy to penetrate the affected skin and destroy the fungus causing the infection. It targets the fungal cells without harming the surrounding healthy tissue, promoting faster healing and reducing the chances of recurrence.

Is Laser Treatment Safe?
Yes, laser treatment is considered safe and FDA-approved when performed by trained dermatologists or skin specialists. Mild redness or warmth in the treated area is normal and subsides within a few hours.
