Nail prosthetics: an aesthetic solution for damaged nails
Nail prosthetics means fitting an artificial nail plate that closely matches a natural nail in colour, texture and, above all, appearance. It is a painless procedure with both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
At Pedicare, we use Unguisan, a high-quality two-component material developed in Germany. It was invented and patented by Josef Greppmayr in 1954.
Nail prosthetics is recommended for anyone who hides their feet in closed shoes because of nail damage caused by injury, disease or ingrown nail surgery. It also has strong therapeutic benefits, as it corrects the nail and helps it grow back naturally.

How is a nail prosthesis fitted?
Each artificial nail plate is fitted individually. The damaged part of the nail is cleaned and, if necessary, thinned. We then apply Unguisan, a special two-component antifungal material (from the Latin unguis, nail, and sanus, healthy), which bonds to the nail. Thanks to its properties, the material dries quickly, so it can be shaped a few minutes after application. It is a long-lasting solution, especially recommended in summer, as it lasts up to 3 months. The nail looks completely natural and can be painted if you wish.
