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.
