Once penetrated, NonyX selectively attacks keratin debris, the habitat and food supply of the fungus, while having virtually no effect on healthy nail. The lower pH of NonyX also creates a hostile environment for dermatophytes and stops their metabolic activity. As damaged nail tissue grows out new nail emerges into a fungus-free environment and remains clear and firmly attached to the nail bed. On average, a 4 ounce bottle of Nonyx Gel will last 3 to 4 months. Once nails are fungus-free, periodic use of Nonyx Gel is recommended to prevent reinfection, as the cuticle margin entryways used by dermatophytes are still present.
Men are more likely to have nail fungus than women.
In most cases, nail fungus is contracted through a damage cuticle margin. If cuticles are healthy and uninjured, the dermatophytes rarely invade. Women using acrylic nails are beginning to show increasing rates of nail fungus. Psoriatic nails appear similar to fungal nails. Nonyx Gel can also treat psoriatic nails.
