Say goodbye to damaged nails

Unlike nail polish or acrylic nails, KeryFlex is specifically designed for use on compromised nails. It allows the underlying nail to grow naturally and is free of harsh chemicals.

KeryFlex nail restoration FAQs

What is KeryFlex nail restoration?

KeryFlex is a podiatrist-applied, medical-grade cosmetic resin used to restore the appearance of damaged toenails. It creates a flexible, breathable nail that looks natural and allows the underlying nail to grow normally.

Who is KeryFlex suitable for?

KeryFlex is ideal for people with nails damaged by trauma, fungal infections, or other conditions that affect nail appearance. It is not recommended for individuals with active infections or peripheral vascular disease.

Does the KeryFlex application hurt?

No – the application is completely painless. It’s a non-invasive procedure that is performed in-clinic and typically takes around 30-60 minutes.

How long does a KeryFlex nail last?

The restored nail typically lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your activity level, footwear and how quickly your natural nail grows.

Can I wear nail polish over a KeryFlex nail?

Yes! Once the resin sets, you can apply nail polish and even remove it with non-acetone remover without damaging the KeryFlex nail.

How much of my natural nail is needed for KeryFlex?

KeryFlex requires at least 15% of your natural nail for proper application, as it does not adhere to skin. While it can still be applied if less nail is present, the bond may not last as long and may require more frequent maintenance.

How is a KeryFlex nail different from an acrylic nail?

KeryFlex nails are specially designed for toenails using a flexible, medical-grade resin that moves with the natural motion of your toes. Unlike acrylic nails, which are rigid and can damage the nail bed, KeryFlex is gentle, non-invasive and free of the harsh acids used in salon systems.

KeryFlex is non-porous, which means it won’t trap moisture between the natural and restored nail — helping prevent further fungal or bacterial issues. It also contains Piroctone, an antifungal ingredient, to help maintain nail health during the restoration process.

In short, KeryFlex is a safer, more supportive alternative for anyone looking to improve the appearance of their toenails without compromising nail health.

Can I swim or shower with a KeryFlex nail?

Yes – KeryFlex nails are durable and water-resistant. You can swim, shower, and go about your normal daily activities without worry.
KeryFlex does not cause skin irritation and there are no known side effects, making it a safe and convenient option for everyday life.

How do I trim a KeryFlex nail?

KeryFlex nails should not be cut or clipped. Instead, we recommend gently filing them with a nail file or emery board to maintain a natural length and shape. This helps preserve the integrity of the restored nail and ensures it lasts as long as possible.

Is KeryFlex a treatment for fungal infections?

No – KeryFlex is not a cure for fungal nail infections. However, it is commonly used after antifungal treatment (including laser or oral therapies) to improve nail appearance while the healthy nail grows out.

Will it affect my natural nail?

Not at all. KeryFlex is designed to be safe and supportive of your natural nail’s health. It bonds only to the nail plate and grows out with the natural nail.

How do I know if KeryFlex is right for me?

The best way to find out is to book an appointment with our podiatry team. We’ll assess your nails and determine if KeryFlex is a suitable option based on your nail health and medical history.
