Phase 1: Before Treatment
In the beginning, toenail fungus can cause visible changes and discomfort. Common signs you may notice include:
- Cuticles & Skin: Thickening, redness, or irritation around the nail bed.
- Colour: Nails may appear discoloured, ranging from milky white to yellow or brown.
- Structure: Nails may become brittle, uneven, or cracked.
- Growth: Nail growth is often slowed or disrupted.a
This is the time to begin regular application and start the journey toward healthier nails.
Phase 2: Initial Improvement
With consistent use, early improvements may appear as the natural actives begin to take effect. You may notice:
- Cuticles & Skin: Reduced redness or irritation; the skin shows early signs of recovery.
- Colour: Discolouration may begin to fade, showing a more even tone.
- Structure: Nails may still feel thickened but look slightly less brittle.
- Growth: Subtle signs of new growth at the base of the nail.
These small but meaningful changes are the first indicators of progress.
Phase 3: Visible Progress
As the routine continues, the improvements become more noticeable:
- Cuticles & Skin: Healthier appearance with less inflammation.
- Colour: Nails lighten further, moving toward a more natural shade.
- Structure: Cracks and irregularities begin to reduce; nails feel stronger.
- Growth: Healthy nail growth is more visible, pushing out the affected nail gradually.
This stage encourages you to keep going — consistency is key.
Phase 4: Continued Recovery
By this stage, nails often show significant recovery, though some imperfections may remain:
- Cuticles & Skin: The skin around the nails is calm, smooth, and free from major irritation.
- Colour: Nails appear more uniform, with only slight traces of earlier discolouration.
- Structure: Nails are firmer, with fewer deformities.
- Growth: Healthy nail has replaced much of the previously affected area, with only the tip or edges still showing signs of past damage.
You are well on your way toward healthy nail restoration.
Phase 5: Healthy Nail Restoration
In the final phase, nails may appear fully restored:
- Cuticles & Skin: Normal in appearance, with no visible irritation.
- Colour: A consistent, natural tone is seen across the nail.
- Structure: Nails are smooth, strong, and well-attached.
- Growth: New nail growth continues normally, maintaining a healthy appearance.
Celebrate this milestone — your consistent effort has helped support the regrowth of clearer, healthier-looking nails.
