KeryFlex for Cosmetic Nail Reconstruction

KeryFlex for Cosmetic Nail Reconstruction

At the Center for Ankle and Foot Care in Clermont and Leesburg, Florida, we understand that healthy, beautiful nails are an important aspect of self-confidence and overall well-being. When toenails are damaged due to injury, fungal infections, or other conditions, it can significantly impact one's quality of life. Fortunately, KeryFlex is here to help restore the aesthetic appearance of your nails through its innovative cosmetic reconstruction process.

What is KeryFlex?

KeryFlex is a revolutionary cosmetic nail reconstruction system designed for patients suffering from nail abnormalities, including thin, discolored, or missing toenails. This FDA-approved treatment utilizes a flexible, durable resin that mimics the appearance of natural nails, offering both aesthetic and protective benefits.

What causes nail damage?

Nail damage can arise from a variety of sources. Common conditions that lead to nail abnormalities include:

• Onychomycosis: A fungal infection that can cause nail discoloration, thickening, and even separation from the nail bed.
• Trauma: Physical injuries to the nail, which may result in breakage, bruising, or loss of the entire nail.
• Psoriasis: A chronic skin condition that can affect the nails, leading to pitting, discoloration, and brittleness.
• Aging: As we age, nails can become more susceptible to damage and conditions such as nail dystrophies.

How does KeryFlex work?

The KeryFlex system involves a multi-step process, starting with a comprehensive assessment by one of our podiatrists at the Center for Ankle and Foot Care. After confirming that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure, we will follow these steps:

1. Preparation: The affected nail is trimmed and prepared. If there is any fungal infection, it may need to be treated before applying KeryFlex.
2. Application: A clear adhesive is applied to create a base, followed by the application of the flexible KeryFlex resin.
3. Finishing: Once the KeryFlex has cured, the nails can be shaped and polished to meet your desired look.

How long does KeryFlex last?

The longevity of KeryFlex depends on various factors, including individual nail growth rates and overall care. Typically, KeryFlex can last between 4 to 8 weeks. Regular maintenance visits with our podiatrists at the Center for Ankle and Foot Care can help ensure the longevity of your KeryFlex nails.
