KeryFlex™ Nail Restoration Restore the Appearance of Damaged Toenails

At Heal & Soul Podiatry, we offer KeryFlex™ Nail Restoration, an innovative cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of damaged, discoloured, or partially missing toenails.

Whether your nail has been affected by fungal infection, trauma, injury, or a chronic nail condition, KeryFlex provides a natural-looking, durable nail restoration that can help you feel more confident showing your feet again.

KeryFlex is a specialised resin system that allows your podiatrist to create a flexible, realistic-looking artificial nail directly over your existing nail. The restored nail is carefully shaped and cured using UV light to create a strong yet flexible result that closely resembles a natural toenail.

Unlike traditional acrylic nails, KeryFlex is specifically designed for use on toenails and moves naturally with the foot.

KeryFlex may be suitable for patients with:

• Damaged or traumatised toenails
• Thickened or misshapen nails
• Partially missing toenails
• Nails affected by fungal infection
• Discoloured nails
• Split or cracked nails
• Cosmetic concerns affecting nail appearance

During your consultation, your podiatrist will assess your nail health and determine whether KeryFlex is the right option for you.

KeryFlex is colour-matched and shaped to resemble a healthy natural nail.

Unlike rigid acrylic nails, KeryFlex flexes with the natural movement of your toes.

Patients leave their appointment with an improved nail appearance the same day.

The lightweight restoration feels natural and allows you to return to normal daily activities.

Nail polish can be applied over the restored nail if desired.

The treatment is performed in the clinic by your podiatrist and typically takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the number of nails being restored.

The process involves:

1. Preparing and cleaning the affected nail.
2. Applying a bonding agent.
3. Building the nail using the KeryFlex resin system.
4. Curing the material under a specialised UV light.
5. Shaping and refining the nail for a natural appearance.

The longevity of a KeryFlex nail varies depending on lifestyle, footwear, nail growth, and the condition of the natural nail. Most patients require maintenance or replacement every 6–8 weeks as the natural nail grows.

KeryFlex is a cosmetic nail restoration system and is not a treatment or cure for fungal nail infections. However, it can significantly improve the appearance of nails affected by fungal disease while other treatment options are being undertaken.

A small amount of healthy nail must generally be present for successful application.

To help maximise the life of your restored nail:

• Avoid picking or pulling at the restoration.
• Wear well-fitting footwear.
• File the nail gently if needed.
• Follow your podiatrist's care instructions.
• Attend recommended review appointments.
