What is Keryflex Nail Restoration? 

Keryflex nail restoration is a painless and safe in-office application procedure that helps in repairing and improving the appearance of your nails. This procedure remodels the nails that are damaged due to fungal infection or any injury back to its natural form.

Indications for Keryflex Nail Restoration

Keryflex nail restoration is indicated for a variety of conditions such as:

Procedure for Keryflex Nail Restoration

The following steps will be carried out as part of the Keryflex nail restoration procedure:

  • Your doctor will trim and file down the damaged nails with a nail clipper to prepare them for the restoration.
  • A bonding agent will be applied to the damaged nails which helps in adhesion of the Keryflex resin to the natural nail.
  • The Keryflex resin is a high-quality, medical-grade gel which will be applied to the nail and this resin will be hardened using ultraviolet light.
  • The hardened resin will be molded and shaped by your doctor until it provides a natural appearance.
  • Finally, a sealant will be applied and cured with light at the end of treatment.
  • The procedure lasts for about 30 minutes or less depending on the extent of damage to your nails and the number of nails to be restored.
  • This treatment will last for 6- 8 weeks until your natural nails develop.
