03 Jul Onyfix Nail Bracing: Ingrown Toenail Care
Introducing Onyfix Nail Correction System: Ingrown Toenail Care
Onyfix is the newest technology used to treat ingrown and involuted toenails using a composite nail brace that reshapes the nail and ensures natural nail growth.
At your appointment, the Podiatrist will create and adapt an individualised system that treats your ingrown or involuted nails. Onyfix acts as a composite brace allowing the nail to reshape and naturally grow out. The entire process is pain-free, from start to finish.
Ingrown or involuted toenails can be painful and cause many complications. Onyfix provides an alternative solution for patients who may have tried Non-Surgical treatment or are not suited for Ingrown Toenail Surgery. It’s also great for those with a needle phobia, diabetic, pregnant or breastfeeding and vascular problems.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Your podiatrist will file your nail and apply a primer across the nail plate to help adhere the composite to the nail
- The Primer is cured with an LED light for 30 seconds
- The Onyfix composite is applied to the base of the toenail. Your podiatrist will individually assess your needs and apply a second band if required at the top of the nail.
- The composite is cured with an LED light for 60 seconds
- The composite will remain on your nail for 2-3 months. Further application may sometimes be required
- Treatment can take up to 12 months to achieve desired toenail growth
- Once the toenail has grown out to satisfaction the brace is painlessly
removed and the nail continues to grow out healthy
All nail polish, shellac and artificial nails must be removed before treatment
