When you take off your socks and notice that your nails just aren’t as healthy, shiny, and smooth as they used to be, this can sometimes take the wind out of your sails. As we age, partake in new experiences, or experience a trauma, it can affect our toenails. Our toenails are delicate and are easily susceptible to these changes. Sometimes the nails become rigid, brittle, or discolored. It can be very hard to get them back into the tip-top shape that we once enjoyed. Although it can be hard, it is not impossible, especially now that there is Keryflex available from your podiatrist.

Keryflex is a nail restoration system that restores your toenail to its original, natural appearance. This procedure is completely painless and can be conducted during a regular appointment in your podiatrist’s office. Your podiatrist will put a coating of this resin on the nail and begin to reshape the nail that is affected by fungus, trauma or defect.

The resin that is used is made out of nonporous material. It is also flexible so that as the new natural nail grows out, it can do so in a healthy manner. It is also very strong and holds up well. It is not affected by nail polish remover that is acetone based, nor is it affected by nail polish. This makes it an ideal cosmetic improvement because it can still be used in regular activities.

Although Keryflex is a great way to fix damaged nails, it does have its limits. People who suffer from peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, arterial insufficiency, ingrown toenails, or a pigment deficiency should not use Keryflex.  If you have known allergies to any of the ingredients in Keryflex, it is also not advised to use the product.

Keryflex is a great alternative for those who want to have healthy looking nails without the long wait. Healthy, stronger nails are now within reach when you go to your podiatrist’s office. If you suffer from fungus, nail defect or trauma of the nail, you should see a podiatrist right away to treat the problem as well as any underlying causes. After treatment has commenced, then Keryflex may be used.
