Nail Reconstruction in London (Croydon, Sydenham & Covent Garden)

If you're struggling with disfigured nails caused by fungal infections, trauma, or other issues, Flawless Feet in Sydenham, Croydon, and Covent Garden offers effective, safe, and long-lasting solutions.

What is Nail Reconstruction?

Nail reconstruction is a non-invasive procedure used to restore damaged, deformed, or missing nails due to various conditions such as fungal infections, trauma, or genetic abnormalities. At Flawless Feet Podiatry & Laser Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art nail reconstruction treatments designed to provide both functional and aesthetic solutions for damaged nails.

This treatment involves applying a special nail gel that is shaped to replicate the natural nail and is cured under a UV light. Not only does it improve the appearance of the nail, but it also helps protect the nail bed and promotes the natural nail’s healthy regrowth.

How Does Nail Reconstruction Work?

This procedure is non-invasive, painless, and requires no downtime. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. The nail reconstruction process is straightforward, and here's how it works step by step:

Nail Preparation

The nail is first prepared to remove any damaged or infected parts and to ensure a clean, smooth surface.

Application of Reconstruction Gel

A special gel is applied to form the nail structure. This gel is designed to provide strength and a natural look.

UV Light Curing

The gel is cured under a UV light to ensure it hardens into a durable, long-lasting nail surface.

Shaping & Refining

The reconstructed nail is shaped and refined to match the natural nail’s appearance, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the surrounding nails.

Benefits of Nail Reconstruction

  • Restores Appearance: Nail reconstruction helps to restore the natural look of damaged nails, improving confidence for those with disfigured or missing nails.
  • Protects the Nail Bed: The reconstruction gel provides a protective layer over the nail bed, preventing further damage or infection while the new nail grows.
  • Non-Invasive: There are no injections or surgical procedures involved in nail reconstruction, making it a safe and pain-free treatment option.
  • Long-lasting Results: The LCN reconstruction gel is durable, meaning that your reconstructed nail will last for weeks before requiring touch-ups.
  • Boosts Confidence: For people who feel self-conscious about their nails due to damage or fungal infections, nail reconstruction can restore a healthy, natural look, boosting both confidence and well-being.

How Long Does Nail Reconstruction Last?

The results of nail reconstruction typically last between 4-6 weeks. This depends on how quickly your natural nail grows and how well you care for the reconstructed nail. Over time, as the new nail grows, the reconstruction gel may need to be touched up or reapplied.

Aftercare for Nail Reconstruction

After your nail reconstruction treatment, here are a few aftercare tips to ensure long-lasting results:

  • Avoid trauma to the nail: Be careful not to put pressure on the newly reconstructed nail until it has fully set.
  • Keep the nail clean and dry: Regular cleaning and drying of the reconstructed nail will help prevent infections.
  • Wear appropriate footwear: Avoid tight shoes or anything that could cause damage to the newly reconstructed nail.
  • Follow-up visits: Regular follow-ups are recommended to ensure the reconstruction is holding up and to monitor the growth of your natural nail.

Customer Testimonials

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Millie conducted a thorough investigation incl. an ultrasound scan and offered a firm diagnosis and treatment plan in only 30 mins. Whilst I would have preferred guidance on all of the aspects of treatment, I understand the limitations of an initial care plan. Ultimately I felt very reassured by Millie's expert advice about my foot issue.

My first appointment with Marta was fantastic. She was so helpful and informative. She explained what was happening with my feet, gave me treatment options and allowed me to think on them. I now have a treatment plan and know more about how to take care of my feet and what ill fitting shoes means for their health. Looking forward to my follow up appointment!

Flawless by name, flawless by nature... I had a double nail avulsion treatment for my big toes after suffering intermittently with infections. Marta was incredible, very knowledgable, professional and friendly, the aftercare was also top notch. They've now fully grown back with no issues. I would highly recommend them 100 times over... thank you Flawless Feet Podiatry & Laser Clinic.

I went to Flawless feet for the first time today & left feeling utterly relieved after having a painful toe for sometime & not understanding the reason. Marta was extremely professional, knowledgeable and welcoming and I left feeling so much better and confident about looking after my feet myself at home, following Marta's suggestions after receiving the treatment. I have booked for a check up in a couple of months & will be avoiding cheap nail bar pedicures in future! Thank you Flawless Feet!

After having tried a few others for foot treatment. Flawless were the first to fully put me at ease. Relaxed, friendly, informative and professional staff are worth their weight in gold. My only regret is not coming to them years ago.

I would highly recommend Flawless Feet. I had three treatments with Millie after suffering knee pain for three years. I had received physiotherapy, acupuncture and osteopathic treatment, all of which helped but the pain and absence of the full range of motion persisted. Millie successfully treated my knee and after three sessions, assessed me as not requiring further treatment. She made recommendations for suitable trainers amd provided me with additional exercises to the ones issued by a physio. I am happily pain-free now and the full range of mobility has been restored. I would recommend Millie very highly. I was impressed that she did not suggest I needed further treatment or unnecessary assessments.
