Seal and protect the nail

Nuvail changes the microenvironment of the nail bed, making it inhospitable to fungi. Once applied, Nuvail forms a barrier that is moisture-resistant, yet breathable. By creating an adverse environment for fungal growth, a healthy nail can regrow and prevent/reduce the chance of a future infection.³

Nuvail:

  • Penetrates intercellular spaces and nail surface ridges²
  • Creates a stable, yet flexible molecular structure within the nail plate²
  • Generates mechanical support²
  • Protects against harmful effects of moisture²

Nuvail:

  • Non hydrosoluble: hydrophobic molecule maintains proper moisture balance²
  • Breathable: allows for oxygen transfer to germinal matrix for optimal keratin formation²
  • Keeps up a good defense

Has high affinity to keratin structures:³

  • Improves overall nail appearance³
  • Promotes a more even, uniform nail plate³
  • Protects the nail from environmental factors²
  • Continues to work after application and does not wash off²

Prescribe First, Prescribe Often

A first-line treatment for all nail dystrophies.

Nuvail is patient friendly:³

  • No age restriction²
  • No duration restriction²
  • Drug-free prescription device³
  • Seconds to apply, minutes to dry²
  • Can use alone (goes on clear) or under polish²
