Galleria Podiatry is very proud to be one of the first practices in Perth to provide this revolutionary treatment.
What is the KeryFlex treatment process?
The patented resin creates a flexible, non-porous nail plate that allows the real nail to grow in a fungal free environment. The KeryFlex™ artificial nail bonds to any remaining nail tissue and nail bed to provide an exceptionally realistic looking plate during concurrent anti-fungal therapies such as oral medications. It transforms an unsightly, disfigured nail, providing an immediate cosmetic improvement to compliment fungal nail laser treatment and regular debridement with oral or topical treatment.
Treatment takes around 20 minutes and under normal conditions the KeryFlex™ restored nail will bond to the regrowing nail for up to 10 weeks!
The KeryFlex™ nail is durable and unaffected by acetone (nail polish remover), nail polishes or detergents. Restore your confidence in the appearance of your toenails with the KeryFlex™ Nail Restoration System.
