Keryflex Nail Restoration
KeryFlex Nail Restoration gives you the appearance of a normal nail whilst successfully undertaking active fungal nail treatment.
Keryflex is a painless, cosmetic nail treatment that restores the appearance of natural nails. Using Keryflex, Foot Foundation clinicians can remodel an individual’s damaged nails affected by fungus, defects or trauma, all without needing to step foot outside the clinic.
Keryflex’s composite resin creates a flexible, yet durable, non-porous nail, allowing the remaining natural nail to grow.

What is involved in the Keryflex process?
Once you and your Foot Foundation clinician have determined KeryFlex is right for you, the damaged nail is trimmed and filed down as much as possible with a nail clipper and/or electronic file. Once the nail is prepared, your clinician will apply a bonding agent, followed by resin, which is hardened under ultraviolet light.
Once hard, the nail is moulded, shaped and filed smooth. A sealant is applied which is cured with the UV light one final time.
In most cases, the entire procedure can be completed in 30 minutes or less. This is dependant on the condition of your nail and number of nail restorations required.
