Onyfix Nail Correction System: Advanced Treatment for Ingrown Toenails

The Onyfix Nail Correction System is a modern, completely painless, and non-surgical treatment option for persistent ingrown and involuted toenails. It uses a specially formulated composite resin – not invasive wire braces or surgical removal – to gently guide your nail back to its natural, healthy shape as it grows out, eliminating pain and pressure.

What Conditions Can it Treat?

This therapy is highly effective for various nail shape deformities that cause chronic pain, including:

·  Ingrown Toenails: Where the edge of the nail grows downward into the surrounding skin.

·  Involuted or Pincer Nails: Nails that curl excessively inward, pinching the nail bed.

·  Split Toenails: Nails requiring stabilization to heal properly.

·  Recurring Nail Pain: Discomfort caused by improper nail curvature or pressure from footwear.

How Does the Onyfix System Work?

1. Your Chiropodist lightly prepares and cleans the surface of the affected nail.

2. A custom band of Onyfix composite resin is applied directly across the base of the nail.

3. The resin is quickly cured and hardened using a specialized LED light.

4. This hardened band acts as a rigid, customized brace.

5. As your nail naturally grows forward, the Onyfix band retrains the nail to grow flat and straight, permanently correcting the shape.

Key Points About the Onyfix System:

·  What it treats: Effectively corrects ingrown toenails, involuted (curled) nails, and associated foot pain.

·  How it works: Acts as a guide to retrain the nail to grow in a natural, flat trajectory, relieving pressure on the skin.

·  Benefits: Absolutely no surgery, needles, or downtime required; safe for high-risk patients including diabetics; and you can even apply nail polish over it.

·  Success: Proven high success rates for long-term correction of the nail's shape without the trauma of traditional nail surgery.

What to Expect During Treatment:

·  During Treatment: The application process is entirely pain-free. Unlike traditional wire braces, there is no tension, pulling, or cutting. You will simply feel the Chiropodist cleaning the nail and applying the resin.

·  After Treatment: There is zero recovery time. You can immediately return to your normal daily activities, including sports, swimming, and wearing regular footwear. You should experience a steady reduction in pressure and pain as the nail grows.

·  Success Rate: Onyfix boasts a high success rate for significantly reducing pain and permanently correcting nail curvature, with the best results seen once the nail has fully grown out with the band in place.
