nail with longitudinal grooves?
Concern
Longitudinal grooves are parallel furrows running the length of the nail which, when they reach the free edge, can crack and give an irregular appearance. They frequently appear in older people and can be evidence of certain illnesses such as lichen planus, renal failure, etc.
Solution
The Mavala Buffer Kit is an effective solution for this type of nail: the grey Buffer smoothes the surface and the pink Buffer gives the nail a healthy sheen. Ridge Filler, a specific treatment product developed for more deeply ridged nails, evens out surface irregularities and prepares the nail for manicure.
Nailactan treatment cream, massaged in every night, over the root of the nails, will help promote the growth of healthy nails. In extreme cases or when the use of Mavala products does not give satisfactory results, we suggest consulting a dermatologist for a complete diagnosis and recommended treatment.
