Shoot... I was hoping I could buy this but apparently it's only for people with a license or training. Phooey. I trained myself dang it. Question, my derm was lazy, didnt even really look at my toe. Did nothing. Today it got caught on a towel and ripped a piece off and it hurt because its attached to the healthy bit but its hard to tell where the healthy bit starts exactly. Its like these white fibers that hurt as if theyre attached to my skin but I see no bleeding. My question is, how do I know how far down to cut the nail, and what depth to buff it to? Do you stop when sensitivity is felt? Because I have a clump of dead skin pushing under this toenail and I can see my skin is very indented under where I cut today that is now exposes and it looks indented under the bottom part too. Is that normal growth and I just need to buff the top of the hump-bump of a toenail that I have left? Lol it looks AWFUL now! Idk what to do! 😭 It's very... tall...like stairs. I actually took a video and I'm considering posting it but idk. 😅 It's scary looking. Worse than this for sure.
This sounds like you need to seek out a professional. Have you looked at the NanoFlex directory to see if there is a pro close to you? It’s found on www.fuziongel.com
Fuzion has created online NanoFlex training. You must have nail tech or pedicure certification as a prerequisite to taking NanoFlex training though. You can find the courses at www.fuziongel.com
There was a bit of new nail growing under the lifted nail that I removed. I did apply the bonder to that nail and the skin where I built new nail with NanoFlex.
It’s damage caused by trauma to the nail. Not fungal. What I am doing in this video is the treatment for this kind of damage. I say this clearly in the video.
This is amazing! I live in France and just asked my podiatrist if he can do this- we call it resin here- so you think it’s the same thing? Also what happens as the nail grows back in? Do you need to /have to remove the nanoproduct so the nail grows back un impeded? 🤔
I would add a form no. You don’t want the extension that long. Your best to just use the skin as a form then cure the gel and separate from the skin to shape it.
As I said in the video (go back and listen carefully) this case was NOT fungal, it was simply damaged from trauma to the nail bed. Gloves are optional in this case.
Hello😊 Complete removal is determined on a case by case basis. For some it’s safe and simple to back fill. While for others it’s smarter to remove all the product and start fresh each time. That up to the professionals and their discretion. But in my opinion after having the NanoFlex on a toe nail for 6 to 8 weeks it’s smart to do a complete removal so you can see exactly what’s happening underneath that gel and put fresh gel on.
Nanoflex is designed to be applied with some skin contact. We are ensuring it has been fully cured when working with it, so no uncured gel is left on the skin. That is what causes allergies and reactions.
I have responded to this comment multiple times. If you are listening in the video I talk about how this was a damaged nail. This was not fungal in any way. So gloves are an option and up to the discretion of the tech. If you watch the follow up video you’ll see how the nail grew back completely attached and healthy. That was only possible because I removed the damaged nail. Had that been left, it definitely could have become a fungal issue. NanoFlex reconstruction gel is designed for this type of treatment. It’s flexible so it’s comfortable and safe for wear on toes. It’s also formulated with Nano Silver, which have anti bacterial/anti fungal properties.
Omg I need this? Would a nail that looks like this be damaged but look like fungus? I’ve had this happen to one toe did this with a different system but my nail now looks amazing. My other one is looking like this but it was very curved I did an onyfix treatment and now is flat but looks terrible makes it look like it’s fungus
It could have a bit of a fungal issue. That happens sometimes after trauma to the nail. Toes are warm and moist so a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. If you want to send me some pics I can help you assess😊 DM me on my Instagram @nails_by_mamabearwolf
Are you a podiatrist? Are you a doctor to do diagnoses of fungus infections? This damaged nail is not removed properly. You are not wearing gloves or doing desinfections to the nail, nailbed or your hands. If you did this would be a great improvement.
Thank you for your concern. I am fully certified to do what I do. If this type of video makes you uncomfortable allow me to invite you to not watch it again😊
@@nailsbymamabearwolf8180 Nov I had not seen your 1st response to me I freaked out I was like oh no I didn’t mean to offend her then read the whole deal so glad it wasn’t me
Wow this is amazing and so helpful! Quick question- is a drill necessary on the last step to buff the top? If not, would a medium grit buffer work? I would be doing this on myself not others if that helps! I appreciate the info!
If your application is very neat you could probably get away with just a buffer to finish. If there is gel touching the cuticle it will lift so you want to make sure that’s not happening. I do find this process much easier with an e-file but it’s possible to do it without in some cases.
Hi! Love this. I get keriflex done by a podiatrist but it’s not cost efficient. I’ve also gotten mold on real nail underneath after 4 weeks due to swimming. Do you have a removal video?
Are you a certified pedicure specialist? If you were listening to the video you would have heard that this client suffered an injury to this toenail. This is not a fungal nail. Gloves are not required for this service, totally harmless. I appreciate your concern so I thought I’d share this valuable information with you😊
