Nail Reconstruction (NEC)

Restoring the Natural Appearance of Damaged Nails

At Infinity Foot Clinic, we offer Nail Reconstruction (NEC) to restore the appearance of damaged, thickened, or partially missing toenails. This safe and cosmetic medical procedure improves confidence while protecting the underlying nail bed.

Nail reconstruction is ideal for patients with:

• Fungal-damaged nails

• Trauma-related nail damage

• Partially missing nails

• Thickened or uneven nails

• Discoloured nails
  
  

👣 What Is Nail Reconstruction?

Nail reconstruction involves applying a specialised medical-grade gel to the existing nail or nail bed. The material is shaped to form a natural-looking nail that is:

• Flexible

• Breathable

• Durable

• Antifungal-friendly

The result looks realistic and feels comfortable in shoes.

How Our Chiropodist Performs Nail Reconstruction

1️⃣ Assessment & Suitability Check

Before treatment, we:

• Examine the nail and surrounding skin

• Ensure there is no active infection requiring treatment first

• Assess nail health and structure

• Discuss your goals and expectations

Patient safety always comes first.

2️⃣ Nail Preparation

• The damaged nail is carefully reduced and shaped

• Thickened areas are gently thinned

• The surface is prepared to ensure proper bonding

• The area is cleaned and dried thoroughly

3️⃣ Application of Medical-Grade Gel

• A specialist gel is applied to the nail

• The gel is shaped to create a smooth, natural nail contour

• It is cured (hardened) using a professional curing light

• Final shaping and smoothing is completed

The reconstructed nail blends naturally with your other nails.

4️⃣ Aftercare Advice

We provide guidance on:

• Nail hygiene

• Footwear considerations

• When to return for maintenance

• Monitoring underlying nail regrowth

How Long Does It Last?

• Typically lasts 6–8 weeks

• Maintenance appointments are recommended

• The natural nail continues to grow underneath

It is important to understand that NEC is cosmetic and supportive — underlying fungal infections may still require medical treatment.
