Toenail Reconstruciton
Toenail reconstruction is a cosmetic and sometimes therapeutic procedure used to improve the appearance and function of a damaged, deformed, or missing toenail.
It’s most often performed in podiatry or medical pedicure settings. The procedure involves applying a special medical-grade gel, acrylic, or resin to the natural nail bed (or remaining nail) to create an artificial nail that looks and behaves like a natural toenail.
Key points about toenail reconstruction:
Purpose:
- Improve appearance after trauma, fungal infection, or surgery.
- Protect the nail bed.
- Boost confidence for people who feel self-conscious about their toenails.
Materials used:
Special antifungal gels, resins, or acrylics (different from regular salon nail products). These are flexible and allow the toenail to grow naturally underneath.
Procedure:
- The damaged nail is trimmed and prepared.
- The reconstruction material is applied in layers and shaped to resemble a natural toenail.
- The nail is hardened with UV light (if gel) or allowed to cure.
- The finished result looks like a real toenail.
Duration
Typically lasts
6–8 weeks, after which it may need reapplication as the natural nail grows.
Who it’s for:
- People with fungal-damaged, thickened, or discolored nails.
- Those with partial or full nail loss from injury or surgery.
- Individuals wanting a natural look without resorting to cosmetic nail extensions.
⚠️ Note:
Toenail reconstruction is not a cure for fungal infections or nail disease—it’s mainly cosmetic, though the materials may contain antifungal properties.
