When it comes to healthy, beautiful toenails, the journey isn’t always straightforward. Conditions like toenail fungus, trauma, or other nail deformities can leave you feeling self-conscious. At Prestige Podiatry Care, we offer a transformative solution—KeryFlex Nail Restoration System. This innovative treatment provides a natural-looking, durable cosmetic enhancement while addressing underlying nail issues.
If you’ve been longing to show off your feet confidently, KeryFlex might just be the solution you need.
What is KeryFlex Nail Restoration?
KeryFlex is a medical-grade nail restoration system that creates a flexible, natural-looking artificial nail over your existing damaged nail. Unlike traditional nail products, KeryFlex is specifically designed for those with medical conditions affecting their toenails, such as:
- Fungal infections
- Nail trauma or injuries
- Psoriasis-related nail damage
- Onychodystrophy (abnormal nail growth)
This system combines aesthetic beauty with practical durability, providing a healthy-looking toenail that allows for daily activities, including swimming and wearing nail polish.
How Does KeryFlex Work?
KeryFlex uses a resin that bonds to the existing nail and cures into a durable, non-porous artificial nail. Here’s what the procedure involves:
- Preparation: The affected toenail is trimmed, filed, and cleaned to remove debris or infected areas.
- Application: A special bonding agent is applied, followed by the KeryFlex resin, which is shaped to mimic a natural toenail.
- Curing: The resin is hardened under a UV light, forming a strong, flexible surface.
- Finishing Touches: The artificial nail is shaped, buffed, and polished for a natural or aesthetically pleasing finish.
Benefits of KeryFlex Nail Restoration
KeryFlex offers numerous advantages over other nail restoration options, including:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Restores the appearance of damaged toenails with a realistic look and feel.
- Durability: The nail is flexible yet strong, resistant to wear and tear.
- Safe Application: KeryFlex is non-porous, reducing the risk of fungal recurrence.
- Immediate Results: Walk out of the clinic with beautiful nails in a single appointment.
- Customizable Finish: You can apply nail polish to your KeryFlex nail, just like a natural nail.
Who is a Candidate for KeryFlex?
KeryFlex is an excellent option for individuals dealing with toenail deformities or damage, but it is not recommended if you:
- Have an active infection requiring antifungal treatment
- Are allergic to the materials used in the system
If you’re unsure whether KeryFlex is right for you, our expert podiatry team will evaluate your nail health during your consultation.
How to Maintain Your KeryFlex Nails
- Treat your nails gently—avoid activities that could cause damage.
- Use antifungal sprays or treatments if recommended.
- Schedule regular appointments to maintain the appearance and integrity of the nail.
- If needed, KeryFlex can be removed or replaced without harming your natural nail.
Comprehensive Q&A Section
Q: Does the KeryFlex nail cure fungal infections?
A: No, KeryFlex is a cosmetic solution and does not treat fungal infections. It can, however, conceal the appearance of a fungal nail while you undergo antifungal treatments.
Q: Is KeryFlex safe for diabetics?
A: Yes, KeryFlex is safe for individuals with diabetes, but we always evaluate each patient to ensure the treatment aligns with their overall foot health.
Q: How long does a KeryFlex nail last?
A: A KeryFlex nail typically lasts 6-8 weeks, depending on nail growth and wear. Touch-ups may be needed to maintain its appearance.
Q: Will KeryFlex work on completely missing toenails?
A: KeryFlex requires some existing nail to bond to, so it’s not suitable for entirely missing nails.
Q: Can I wear nail polish on my KeryFlex nail?
A: Absolutely! You can apply and remove nail polish on KeryFlex nails without damaging them.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: No, the KeryFlex procedure is painless. Most patients find it comfortable and relaxing.
