Nail Reconstruction

What is Nail Reconstruction?

Nail Reconstruction is a medical and cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of damaged, thickened, or even partially or fully missing nails. Whether due to trauma, fungal infections, underlying medical conditions, or other factors, damaged nails can impact both functionality and confidence. Nail reconstruction offers a solution by restoring the nail to a more natural and aesthetically pleasing state.

This treatment involves using a specialised gel that is carefully applied to rebuild and reshape the damaged or missing nail. The gel is designed to mimic the texture, appearance, and durability of a natural nail, ensuring a result that looks authentic and lasts well. The reconstructed nail can be shaped to match your desired appearance, blending seamlessly with your other nails for a polished look.

Suitable for both toenails and fingernails, nail reconstruction offers long-lasting results that not only improve the nail’s appearance but also protect the underlying nail bed from further damage or infection. It can also help prevent discomfort caused by uneven or thickened nails while providing a boost in confidence for those who may feel self-conscious about their feet.
