LCN Barefoot (Wilde Pedique) Toenail Reconstruction*

LCN Barefoot (also known as Wilde Pedique) series has been specially developed for the treatment of toe nails. In this application we show you the reconstruction of a podiatrist cleared toe nail, which is also deformed due to a sports injury, with LCN WILDE-PEDIQUE silver plus (LCN Barefoot). Begin with disinfecting the toe nails with Kodan Spray. Begin by shortening the nail. You can carefully smooth any bumps on the nail with the file unit. Smooth the nail edge with the file unit. Clean the nail fold with the excavator. Clean up the cuticle to maintain a clean foundation for the modeling. Apply Cleaner to a swab and wipe entire nail clearing any remaining debris. Now apply the Connex silver plus to the nail with a microbrush and let it dry for approx. 2 minutes. Now fill the nail bed with the WILDE-PEDIQUE (LCN Barefoot) and cure. Then apply a second layer of WILDE-PEDIQUE (LCN Barefoot) to the entire nail and cure again. This video uses the "opak" version and adds a layer of the "pastel" to create a natural looking nail plate. Remove the dispersion film with Cleaner. Even out and shape the nail with the file unit. Remove the fine dust with cleaner and a swab. Now shape the free edge with the file unit and seal the modeled nail with the WILDE-PEDISEAL. Finally, remove the dispersion film with the Super Shine Finish Cleaner. *This video demonstrates the use of LCN Barefoot on normal nails. To do this, shorten the other nails and perform a classic manicure. Apply Connex with a Microbrush to the prepared nails and let it dry for 2 minutes. Apply the WILDE-PEDIQUE silver plus (LCN Barefoot) and cure as usual. Seal the nails with WILDE-PEDISEAL and cure it as well. Remove the dispersion film with the Super Shine Finish Cleaner. Always use Mykosept to finish the service. It is highly recommended that the client purchase the Mykosept (spray or dropper) for regular home use to keep the nail free of moisture. The amount of reconstruction and activity of the client should play a part in determining the thickness of the reconstructed nail. A nail reconstructed too thin may not be suitable for runners or other high-performance athletes. In the US, salon professionals are not permitted to work on active fungal toe nails. They must ensure the client has been cleared for service by a medical professional. For beginner's, it is recommended that reconstructed nails are done using the "clear" or "pink" versions as they are both translucent and can help the client and the technician inspect the condition of the reconstruction as the nails grows out.
