Nail deformities
Nail plate deformation is a condition where the shape, thickness, color, or structure of the nail changes. Nails may become ridged, curved, thickened, concave, or start to split. The causes can vary: trauma, fungal infections, psoriasis, eczema, tight footwear, poor circulation, chronic illnesses (including diabetes), as well as congenital factors.
How the procedure is performed:
The specialist examines the nail and determines the cause and extent of the deformation. Depending on the situation, the following may be performed:
- Removal of thickened, damaged, or layered sections
- Polishing and smoothing of the nail surface
- Application of therapeutic or protective coatings (antifungal, strengthening)
- Installation of corrective systems (orthonyxia) if the nail is ingrown or growing unevenly
- In case of severe deformation — nail prosthetics: restoration of the nail shape using a safe, flexible material
Benefits of the procedure:
It’s important for many to understand how comfortable the procedure will be and how soon they can return to daily life.
- Painless and safe
- Aesthetic restoration of the nail shape
- Suitable for nails after injuries, illnesses, or infections
- Allows you to wear open shoes with confidence
- Prevents ingrowth, infections, and further deformation

How the problem is solved:
Regular treatment and corrective techniques help realign the nail’s growth direction, relieve pressure on surrounding tissue, restore appearance, and improve the condition of the nail bed. If necessary, the specialist provides care recommendations and refers for further diagnostics (if the deformation is related to systemic conditions).
