Ingrown Toenail Pain? Onyfix Offers a Painless, Non-Surgical Fix!
Ugh. That painful, red, swollen corner of your toe – an ingrown toenail has struck again.
Many people dread the thought of traditional treatments involving needles or removing part of the nail. But what if there was a way to fix the problem without surgery or pain? At Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists, we’re excited to offer the Onyfix Nail Correction System, a revolutionary, non-surgical approach to guide your nail back to its proper shape.
How Onyfix Gently Reshapes Your Nail (With No Cutting!)
Forget the traditional methods of cutting away the offending nail border! Onyfix is a nail correction system that uses a custom-fitted band to guide your toenail’s growth. The process is remarkably simple and quite comfortable:
- Preparation: We prepare the surface of your nail.
- Application: A special composite resin material is applied as a band across the base of your nail.
- Curing: We use a safe LED light to instantly harden the resin band.
- Correction: As your nail naturally grows over the next several months, the hardened Onyfix band acts like a brace, gently lifting the curved edges of the nail and guiding it into a straighter, flatter growth pattern.
Essentially, Onyfix corrects the underlying nail curvature that causes the ingrown toenail rather than just removing the symptoms!
The Onyfix Advantage: Why Patients Love It
This innovative system offers significant benefits, making it a popular choice:
- Pain-Free Application: Seriously, no needles! The application process is completely painless, requiring no anesthesia.
- Immediate Relief (Often): By gently lifting the nail edge, Onyfix can often provide immediate relief from the pressure causing pain.
- Zero Downtime: You can put your shoes back on and resume all normal activities immediately after the application. No recovery period needed!
- Safe for Virtually Everyone: Onyfix is a safe option even for high-risk patients, including individuals with diabetes or poor circulation, as it’s non-invasive.
- Addresses the Root Cause: By correcting the nail’s curvature, Onyfix aims to prevent the ingrown toenail from recurring.
- Cosmetically Appealing: The Onyfix band is thin and relatively discreet. You can even apply nail polish over it!
Is Onyfix Right for Your Ingrown Toenail?
Onyfix is an excellent solution for ingrown toenails, but it also works well to correct curved or involuted (curled inward) toenails, too. It’s often selected by patients who want to avoid minor surgical procedures or for use with children and other patients who are sensitive to pain. A quick consultation will determine if Onyfix is the best treatment for your specific situation, so give us a call to get started!
