Lifted Toe Nails, In-growth Nail. Fungus? Laser Therapy?

i have 2 lifted toe nails (the big ones) in the edges. it is not fungus, i had been taken off my nails many times when i was young due to ingrown nail . Now that a specialist has put a gel on my nails, those grow normaly and out of my skin but they lift in the edges and get yellow accumulating a lot of debris. Could laser therapy be a solution?
