ONYFIX

The revolutionary treatment option for chronic ingrown toenails that is pain free and doesn’t involve surgery.

INTRODUCING THE ONYFIX NAIL CORRECTION SYSTEM

Onyfix is the latest conservative treatment option for chronic ingrown and involuted toenails. It uses composite nail bracing that reshapes the nail to allow it to grow naturally and reshape it to be less curved.

At Highett Podiatry, our podiatrist will discuss and offer you numerous options for managing your ingrown toenail, including using the Onyfix system. The entire process is pain-free, from start to finish.

Chronic Ingrown toenails can be painful and restrictive. Onyfix provides an alternative treatment option for patients where ingrown toenail surgery may not be suitable, such as those with a needle phobia who be diabetic, pregnant or breastfeeding.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Onyfix is a proven successful nail correction system that helps ingrown or involuted toenails grow back to their natural shape without surgery and is pain-free.

Onyfix uses a hardened composite material that is cured by a LED light and acts like a brace on the nail plate. The brace ensures that the nail keeps a comfortable curvature as it grows from the base of the nail until the end, thus reshaping the pathway for the new nail growth.

The Onyfix system is cured/set to your toenail for about 2-3 months. When the toenail grows, the Onyfix will grow with the toenail and helps the toenail grow in the correct position. At this time, additional bands can be applied to the toenail to ensure the desired result.

We recommend 3-4 bands over 12 months to assist with the straightening of your nails. Once complete, the composite is removed, and the nail should grow naturally and comfortably.

If you think this treatment is for you, please call Highett Podiatry on 95553044.

HOW WE APPLY ONYFIX

To prepare the toenail before the Onyfix application, the podiatrist will file and smooth your toenail to flatten your toenail for application. The onyfix is then applied and cured with a UV light. The application process usually takes 15-20 minutes on top of your podiatry consult.
