There are many treatment options to restore damaged nails. Our physicians are amongst a select few in the country certified in innovative procedures for healthy nail growth. Procedures such as microneedling of the nail matrix, laser therapy to help stimulate healthy nail production, Keryflex, and Onyfix are some of the many treatment options Sava Podiatry has to offer.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System is an innovative new solution available to treat toenails damaged by fungus, infection, or injury and restore them to their original appearance. Keryflex™ utilizes polymer resins that bond to the damaged toenail to form an artificial nail that is durable, flexible, and natural in appearance. The painless procedure typically takes about 15 minutes to perform and can be done in the comfort of the office.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System involves preparing the nail bed by removing the damaged nail. A bonding agent is then applied to the nail bed. Following this, the Keryflex™ resin is applied to the nail bed. The resin, which is gel-like in consistency, can then be smoothed and shaped to imitate a natural nail. Once the resin has been properly shaped, the Keryflex™ sealant is applied to seal the Keryflex™ nail and make it non-porous and non-permeable. The entire Keryflex™ nail is then hardened via ultraviolet light, ensuring that it has been restored to its natural appearance.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System allows for the patient to immediately return to regular daily activities post-procedure. Patients may also receive pedicures or apply nail polish to their Keryflex™ nail.
The Keryflex™ Nail Restoration System can be used to treat:
- Onychomycosis
- Discolored nails
- Brittle and splitting nails
- Damaged nails
- Spoon-shaped nails
- Horizontal ridges
The Onyfix Nail Correction System is a versatile and innovative product that enables completely painless treatment of almost all forms of involuted and ingrown toenails. lt is adapted to your unique toenail, which is then brought back to its natural shape. The process is non-surgical and pain-free throughout the entire treatment.
Onyfix uses a composite nail brace that reshapes the nail and ensures natural nail growth. Because it is non-surgical, it provides an alternative solution for patients who may not be suited for toenail surgery: needle phobia, diabetics, pregnancy, elderly, vascular disease, etc. Since it is a composite that is cured to the nail, it will not fall or slide off the nail plate, nor will it cause discomfort when in shoes, unlike traditional nail braces.
