Professional Aftercare for Ingrown Toenails: Supporting Skin Recovery and Nail Protection with Imperial Feet
As a footcare specialist, ensuring proper aftercare following the treatment of ingrown toenails is just as important as the procedure itself. Post-treatment care directly impacts healing time, client comfort, and long-term prevention of recurrence.
Imperial Feet’s Urea Foot Balm and Nail Mycosis Solution provide an effective professional combination to promote skin regeneration, nail protection, and overall foot health maintenance after ingrown toenail treatments.
Step 1: Restore Skin Integrity with Urea Foot Balm
Following an ingrown toenail treatment, the periungual skin can be sensitive, dry, or compromised. Proper hydration and regeneration are key to restoring the skin barrier and reducing the risk of inflammation.
Imperial Feet Urea Foot Balm is formulated with 10% urea, making it highly effective for maintaining skin elasticity and promoting tissue recovery.
Professional Benefits:
- Deep hydration: Urea binds moisture to the skin, restoring softness and flexibility.
- Enhanced regeneration: Promotes recovery of damaged skin tissue around the nail fold.
- Prevention of hyperkeratosis: Regular application helps prevent the build-up of hard skin that can contribute to recurring ingrown nails.
- Non-greasy formulation: Quickly absorbed, allowing for immediate reapplication of dressings if needed.
Recommended Use (in practice and at home):
After cleaning the treated area, apply a small amount of Urea Foot Balm around the nail and gently massage until absorbed. Instruct clients to continue daily use at home to maintain hydration and aid recovery.
Step 2: Protect the Nail Plate with Nail Mycosis Solution
Ingrown toenail procedures often leave the surrounding area more vulnerable to fungal or bacterial invasion. Protecting the nail plate during regrowth is essential for preventing secondary infections and ensuring healthy nail regeneration.
Imperial Feet Nail Mycosis Solution offers a natural, effective protective treatment formulated with tea tree oil, jojoba oil, and lavender oil — ingredients known for their antifungal, antibacterial, and soothing properties.
Professional Benefits:
- Prevents fungal growth during the nail’s recovery phase.
- Supports the natural healing environment by keeping the area clean and nourished.
- Enhances nail resilience, improving texture and color over time.
- Easy application for both in-clinic and home care use.
Recommended Use:
Apply directly onto the nail and surrounding cuticle twice daily. Allow to air dry before covering with socks or footwear. Consistent use ensures ongoing protection and supports healthy nail regrowth.
Best Practice Tips for Footcare Professionals
- Encourage clients to wear open-toed or wide-fitting footwear for a few days post-treatment to minimize pressure.
- Reinforce proper nail-cutting techniques during follow-up visits to prevent recurrence.
- Combine Imperial Feet products with regular footcare routines to maintain optimal results between treatments.
- Monitor for signs of infection or delayed healing, and adjust care accordingly.
