Nail Reconstruction
About Nail Reconstruction
_____
ProPodiatry offer Pedisafe Nail Reconstruction. We use a completely inert product that leaves you with a superb real-feeling nail, that will act like a natural nail.
What is Nail Reconstruction?
Nail Reconstruction has been developed specifically for corrective and restorative toe nail treatments. The gel resin sets under UV light and has the ability to bond to the nail surface. The gel strengthens and hardens with a glossy finish. In addition to this, it is very flexible therefore it can adapt to movements of the toe.
The gel once applied and cured will essentially look like and cut like a regular toe nail. It is an ideal solution for those clients who are looking for a cosmetically pleasing look.
Who Would Benefit from Nail Reconstruction?
_____
Fungal Nails
Podiatrists use nail reconstruction in conjunction with fungal treatments. Although nail reconstruction is not a cure in itself, it can limit the spread of the fungal infection, ultimately boosting one’s confidence in being able to show off their feet. It may be an ideal short-term solution prior to a holiday to enable you to wear open-toed sandals.
Nails damaged by trauma (partially missing)
A prosthetic nail may help the new nail grow into place along the nail bed, thereby minimising risk of it ingrowing. We do require some nail to be present in order to attach the prosthetic nail.
Cracked/Split nail
Gels helps avoid further damage by covering the crack/split, preventing further snagging.
Other Properties:
- Odourless
- No discolouration – the nail will not change colour after it has been cured under UV-A light.
- Absence of Primer/Chemical Activator – Pedisafe gels use no aggressive acidic primers which damage the natural nail plate.
- No Damage to the Natural Nail – as the gel cures to a flexible surface, it will not damage or hinder the natural growth.
- Non Porous – Fungail nails are suitable for reconstruction as air and moisture cannot penetrate the hardened gel, thus preventing spread of the infection.
Nails will be clear following the treatment, and can be painted for an additional fee of £20 (for infection control purposes we request that clients bring their own nail polish if they wish for nails to be painted at our clinic)
Prices
_____
Prices start from £54 each for 1 big nail reconstruction.
£13.50 each for lesser nails.
We advise that the feet upon which reconstruction is to take place are kept dry for 24 hours prior to the reconstruction appointment.
We recommend that the nails are removed within the 5-6 week period and rebuilt if required.
Each treatment lasts for up to 5-7 weeks dependent upon level of activity and speed of nail growth. The nail will cut like a normal nail as it grows out, although we do recommend for it to be removed professionally when required.
