Fungal nails are something we see almost every day, and we know how frustrating they can be. Patients often tell us they’ve tried multiple creams, home remedies, or even oral medication, only to find the infection keeps coming back. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and you’re definitely not out of options.
One treatment we’ve had a lot of success with at Podiatry Quest is PACT® Therapy (Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy). It’s a gentle, light-based treatment that helps clear fungal nail infections without pain, medication, or downtime. Many of our patients appreciate it because it’s straightforward, comfortable, and safe for almost everyone.

What Is PACT® Therapy?
PACT Therapy uses a special gel that reacts to blue LED light. When the light activates the gel, it creates a reaction that specifically targets fungal cells. It doesn’t damage the surrounding skin or healthy nail – just the infected areas. A lot of people ask what the treatment feels like. The honest answer: pretty much nothing. There’s no heat and no discomfort. You sit back, the light does its work, and the session is over in a few minutes.

Why We Recommend PACT Therapy for Fungal Nails
Over the years, we’ve found PACT Therapy to be a good option for:
- Patients who can’t take oral antifungal medication
- Those who prefer a drug-free treatment
- Stubborn infections that haven’t responded well to creams
- Anyone looking for a safe and practical alternative.
What Your Session Will Look Like
- We gently trim and thin the affected nail to help the gel penetrate better.
- The PACT gel is applied to the nail.
- The nail is exposed to the LED light for a few minutes.
- You’re done – no downtime and no restrictions!
