KeryFlex is a painless, in-clinic cosmetic treatment that uses medical-grade resin and UV light to restore the appearance of damaged, discoloured, or brittle toenails. Applied by podiatrists, it creates a flexible, durable, and natural-looking artificial nail that hides damage while your natural nail grows underneath.
How It Works
The KeryFlex Nail Restoration System is applied in a certified clinic over a few steps
- Preparation: The podiatrist trims, thins, and cleans the damaged nail, leaving at least 15% to 30% of the natural nail for the product to bond to.
- Bonding & Resin: A bonding agent is applied, followed by layers of a medical-grade, sculptable gel.
- UV Curing: A UV light is used to harden and seal the resin, rendering it non-porous and non-permeable.
Key Benefits
- Immediate Improvement: Visually transforms unsightly, fungal, or traumatized nails into a healthy-looking nail in one session.
- Flexible and Durable: Unlike rigid acrylics, it bends with your natural toe movements, preventing micro-trauma to the nail bed.
- Waterproof and Breathable: It is resistant to acetone, detergents, and nail polish, meaning you can swim and shower normally.
- Antifungal: The resin is infused with Piroctone (an antifungal ingredient) to protect against the growth of existing fungal infections.
- Long-lasting: The restored nail typically stays intact for 6 to 10 weeks before requiring maintenance or reapplication.

Who is KeryFlex For?
You are an ideal candidate for KeryFlex if you experience any of the following:
- Toenail Fungus (Onychomycosis): Your nails are thick, yellowed, or crumbling from a past or current infection.
- Trauma or Injury: You dropped something on your toe, or repetitive friction from running or sports caused the nail to lift or fall off.
- Deformed or Misshapen Nails: Your nails grow unevenly due to genetics, spoon-shaped nail conditions, or past surgeries.
- Split or Brittle Nails: Your nails split easily down the middle, snagging on socks and causing discomfort.
- Nail defects, spoon shaped nails, or nail thinning
- Psoriasis
Why Choose Talaria Podiatry for Your KeryFlex Treatment?
- Medical-Grade Safety: Unlike standard nail salons that use rigid acrylics that trap moisture and worsen fungus, our podiatrists use medical-grade, non-porous resin. It seals out moisture while allowing your natural nail to grow safely underneath.
- Instant, Realistic Results: The resin is sculpted and cured using a specialized light to perfectly match your other toes. You walk out of our clinic with a realistic nail that can be filed, painted, and polished immediately.
- Durability for Active Lifestyles: Our KeryFlex nails are highly flexible. They bend with the natural movement of your feet, meaning you can confidently run, swim, and wear your regular shoes without fear of the nail cracking or popping off.
- Expert Clinical Care: At Talaria Podiatry, we do not just mask the problem. We evaluate the root cause of your nail damage and can combine KeryFlex with targeted antifungal therapies or custom treatment plans for long-term health.
Limitations and Considerations
- It is cosmetic, not a cure: KeryFlex hides the nail damage but does not treat the underlying medical condition (e.g., it does not cure fungus).
- Not for everyone: It should not be used on patients with peripheral vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, arterial insufficiency, ingrown toenails, or those allergic to its ingredients.
- Accessibility: Because of the specific materials and tools required, it can only be applied by trained Podiatrists or certified professionals.
