What Are Involuted Nails? Symptoms, Causes & When to Choose NailLift

Involuted nails are often confused with ingrown nails — but they are a different problem with a different solution. At Metrotown Active Health, we frequently see Burnaby patients suffering from curved nails that cause pressure and pain without breaking the skin.

What Is an Involuted Nail?

An involuted nail curves inward on both sides, compressing the nail bed. This leads to:

  • Pressure pain

  • Sensitivity in shoes

  • Throbbing discomfort

  • Redness without infection

Common Causes of Involuted Nails

  • Genetics

  • Improper nail trimming

  • Tight footwear

  • Repetitive pressure

  • Aging nail changes

  • Medication

  • Trauma to nails

Why NailLift Works

NailLift gently lifts the nail edges using a shape-memory brace. Over time, the nail grows flatter and healthier.

  • No surgery

  • Immediate relief

  • No downtime

  • Safe for diabetics and seniors
