Nail Restoration System
For a variety of reasons, some people are much more likely to develop toenail fungus and other conditions that cause the nail to lose it’s natural appearance. While medicines are available to treat the fungus, these compounds may take some time to be effective and may never restore the nail to it’s normal appearance.
Here at Coastal Podiatry Associates we are trained in a new technique that improves the appearance of nails damaged by fungus and other conditions.
This new technique is the KeryFlex Nail Restoration System.
KeryFlex uses polymer resins and special activators to create a durable, yet flexible artificial nail when exposed to a certain frequency of ultraviolet light.
In as little as 15 minutes, we can create create a realistic, natural-looking nail in place of damaged nail.
Here at Coastal Podiatry Associates this done by removing most of the damaged nail. After the old, damaged nail has been removed, we begin the process of restoring the apperance of your nail; we then apply a bonding agent to help the new nail attach to the remnant of your natural nail.
Next, we will apply the gel-like KeryFlex Resin to your nail bed, harden the resin with a special frequency of ultraviolet light for two minutes, and then possibly reshape the nail further, if necessary.
