Restore Confidence in Your Nails

KeryFlex® Nail Restoration at New Orleans Podiatry

The KeryFlex® Nail Restoration System is a safe, non-systemic, in-office treatment that restores your natural looking nail following damage caused by fungus, injury, or other conditions that have left it thick, brittle, or misshapen. Using a medical-grade resin, KeryFlex creates a flexible, non-porous nail that seamlessly complements your remaining natural nails, while allowing the affected nail to grow out in a healthy way.

In our clinical experience, it’s our philosophy that long-term use of KeryFlex® may slow the progress of antifungal therapy, as the covering can limit the effectiveness of topical or laser treatments. For this reason, we recommend using KeryFlex primarily for short-term cosmetic purposes—such as weddings, vacations, or special occasions—while continuing your antifungal treatment plan for optimal, lasting results.

A Medical-Grade Solution for Damaged Nails

What is KeryFlex Nail Restoration?

KeryFlex is an in-office nail restoration system applied directly to the damaged nail. The medical-grade resin forms a flexible, non-porous nail that is cured under a special light, bonding seamlessly to the existing nail. The restored nail is unaffected by acetone, nail polish, or detergents, allowing patients to maintain normal nail care routines without compromising the application.

Unlike acrylic nails, the KeryFlex nail does not damage the underlying nail bed; it bends and moves naturally, mimicking the flexibility of a healthy nail. KeryFlex offers a safe, non-systemic, temporary solution that restores the appearance of the natural nail during oral antifungal or laser therapy. In our clinical experience, limiting KeryFlex wear to four weeks at a time helps preserve the natural nail’s health and strength beneath the application.

The Nail Makeover Designed for Real Life

What is the KeryFlex procedure like?

KeryFlex application is quick and painless:

  1. The damaged nail is trimmed and prepped.
  2. A medical-grade bonding agent is applied.
  3. The KeryFlex resin is sculpted over the nail.
  4. The nail is cured under a special light.
  5. Final shaping and buffing complete the natural look.

Most patients leave with nails that match the appearance of their natural nails—smooth, clear, and ready for polish.
