Fungal Toenail Troubles? Spring Forward with KeryFlex!

Spring has sprung! Yet, as folks embrace open-toed shoes and footwear, some must struggle with a pesky podiatric problem – fungal nails.

Also known as onychomycosis, these fungal infections commonly affect both toenails and fingernails. While topical and oral antifungal medications are available for treatment, they can take months to show results and often require ongoing use. Meanwhile, discolored, thickened nails can be a source of discomfort and embarrassment, preventing those afflicted from enjoying the carefree feeling of spring footwear.

That’s where the KeryFlex Nail Restoration System comes in! This blog will cover the ins and outs of this confidence-boosting treatment method, courtesy of the team at Kentlands Foot & Ankle Center.

A Confidence Booster for Your Feet

KeryFlex restores the appearance of damaged nails via a safe, painless, and in-office procedure.

• A specially formulated resin is applied directly to the area, creating a durable yet flexible artificial nail that mimics the look and feel of a healthy, natural one.
• Unlike some medications, KeryFlex provides an immediate cosmetic improvement, so you can ditch the closed-toe shoes with confidence!

Beyond Aesthetics: Complements Fungal Nail Treatment

While KeryFlex doesn’t treat the underlying fungal infection itself, it’s a valuable complement to other fungal nail treatments.

• It provides a protective barrier over the affected nail, which helps prevent fungus from spreading and improves the effectiveness of topical medications.
• Additionally, it promotes healthy nail growth by creating a stable base for the new nail to form underneath.

A Multitude of Benefits

• Durable and Flexible:

KeryFlex can withstand everyday wear and tear by moving in tandem with your feet and toes, allowing you to participate in your favorite spring activities worry-free.

• Non-Irritating:

KeryFlex bonds securely to the nail plate, so it doesn’t irritate surrounding skin.

• Complementary and Affordable:

KeryFlex works alongside traditional antifungal therapies to promote healthy nail growth. It’s also cheaper than current oral antifungals.

Don’t let fungal nails steal your spring sunshine! If you’re struggling with discolored or damaged toenails, consult with your podiatrist to see if KeryFlex is the right solution for you.
