Toenail reconstruction is most beneficial where the original toenail is misshapen and you might like to normalise the appearance of your toenails; or where the nails are thickened and unsightly; or as an additional protection for a weakened nail.

At the Vale Clinic, our podiatrist uses a special gel resin, layering it over the existing nail. The resin used, has similar properties to normal nails, being flexible and resistant. This is very different to to the gel used in nail salons. 

What is the main purpose of a toenail reconstruction?

• To protect a new nail as it grows after a trauma
• To reinforce an existing nail plate
