Curved and involuted nails are incredibly common — but also incredibly painful. They can make walking uncomfortable, cause pressure in shoes, and lead to recurring redness or infection-like symptoms. At Metrotown Active Health, we offer NailLift, a non-surgical, painless bracing system that immediately decreases pain, and helps correct nail shape over time.
MAHI is one of the few clinics in Canada trained to provide this treatment.
⭐ What are Involuted Nails, and what treatment options are there?
An involuted nail curves downward into the nail bed. Unlike an ingrown nail (which pierces the skin), an involuted nail causes:
Pressure
Deep soreness
Tightness
Sensitivity in shoes
Left untreated, it can worsen and become chronically painful.
NailLift is a very effective treatment for involuted toe nails.
⭐ What Is NailLift?
NailLift is a shape-memory alloy brace applied to the top surface of the nail. It gently lifts the edges of the nail, encouraging it to grow in a healthier, flatter shape.
Benefits include:
Non-surgical
No downtime
Immediate pressure relief
Safe for seniors
Pain-free
Corrects shape over time
⭐ What to Expect During a NailLift Appointment
Your clinician will:
Assess the curvature of the nail
Clean & prepare the nail surface
Apply the NailLift brace
Secure it with gel
Provide aftercare instructions
Most patients walk out with instant relief.
⭐ How Long Does Treatment Take?
A single application can last 6–12 weeks depending on nail growth. Some clients need multiple applications; others see long-term improvement with one.
