Onyfix Nail Correction – Non-Surgical Ingrown & Curved Nail Treatment

If you suffer from painful ingrown or curved toenails, you no longer have to choose between living with the pain or undergoing surgery. Onyfix is a clinically studied nail correction system that gently reshapes the nail over time — with no cutting, no needles, and no downtime.

What Is Onyfix?

Onyfix is a composite nail correction brace applied directly to the surface of the nail. It works by harnessing the natural growth of the nail to gradually guide it into a healthier, flatter shape. The system is drug-free and completely non-invasive. Its effectiveness has been confirmed in published clinical case series and through positive outcomes across a wide range of patients.

It is especially well-suited for patients who:

• Have painful ingrown or involuted (curved) toenails
• Want to avoid surgery or anesthesia
• Have diabetes, poor circulation, or other conditions that make surgery higher risk
• Have previously had nail surgery with recurrence
• Are athletes or active individuals who cannot afford recovery downtime
• Have needle phobia or are pregnant or breastfeeding

How Does It Work?

During your visit, Dr. DeGirolamo will gently clean and prepare the nail surface, then apply the Onyfix composite strip across the nail. As the nail grows, the brace exerts a corrective force that gradually flattens the curvature. The brace is reapplied every few months as the nail continues to grow out.

Treatment duration depends on the degree of curvature and your individual nail growth rate. Most patients see significant improvement over the course of several months of consistent treatment.

What to Expect:

• Initial visit: nail evaluation, preparation, and application (approximately 30 minutes)
• Follow-up visits: reapplication every few months as nail grows
• No pain during application
• You can shower, swim, exercise, and wear normal shoes immediately
• Nail polish can be worn during treatment
• No restrictions on daily activity

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Onyfix covered by insurance?
Onyfix is a self-pay service. Call our office to learn more and schedule your consultation.

Is it painful?
No. The application is completely painless. Some patients feel mild pressure as the brace begins working, which is a normal and expected part of the correction process.

Can I get Onyfix if I have diabetes?
Yes. Unlike surgical options, Onyfix does not break the skin and carries no wound healing concerns. It is safe for diabetic patients. Dr. DeGirolamo will perform a complete evaluation to confirm it is appropriate for you.

How long does treatment take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of curvature and your nail growth rate. Clinical studies support a 12-month treatment protocol for optimal results, with improvement noted throughout the process.

How often do I need to come back?
The Onyfix brace is reapplied every few months as your nail grows. Dr. DeGirolamo will monitor your progress at each visit and determine the appropriate reapplication schedule for you.
