The process by which the gel is applied and hardened using UV light is the same, but this is where the similarity then ends,
-The gel used for nail reconstruction is a flexible product and biab used for fingernails is a hard finished product. The gel used for toenails needs to be flexible to allow the toenail to move with the natural movements of the toe. This allows the reconstructed nail to last longer and not lift.
-The nail that is reconstructed does not damage the natural nail and will not restrict the growth of the natural nail.
-The gel used has anti-fungal properties. To prevent you getting fungal nail while the gel is on. It can not be applied on active fungal nail. If you think you have fungal nail this will need to be checked by a doctor before treatment can be carried out.
