Tina has a complete line of footcare products. These 3 are her top trio of recommended products for fungus. She has witnessed the amazing effects when combined.
​
If you don't have fungus your products will be different, but there are almost always necessary products.
​
FAQ: How often will I need follow up appointments?
A: *Every 4-6 weeks is the general answer. It is, however, a case-by-case situation. As the restoration progresses 8 week follow ups may be enough. It really depends on the severity of the symptoms and the progress being made.
​
I also have a new customized pedicure option. This option is not bookable by you. I will switch you to this option once your appointments no longer require the full hour and there is much improvement. This reduces the cost of the total restoration process for you.
FAQ: If my toenails are better, why do I need to return for a follow-up?
A: *Because regular cleaning and use of products that are only for professional use during the STAR-NT pedicure are an integral part of your care routine.
A trained eye keeps new problems from arising during the restoration process. Skipping your follow-ups could slow or stop your progress or cause an ingrown toenail issue.
Also stopping the routine before a new healthy toenail has completely grown back can also lead to an unsuccessful recovery.
​
**However, I do understand that this process can be lengthy and pricey. While follow ups are extremely important, missing one or two shouldn't set you back much, as long as you continue using your products faithfully. ​I will not judge or get mad at you for missing a follow-up.
It is so important to resume your appointments as soon as your situation will allow though.
FAQ: How long does the recovery process take?
A: It takes 12 to 18 months for a new toenail to grow. which is how long it can take to fully heal. That is the worst-case scenario. There are some types of fungus that go away faster. It also greatly depends on how consistently the products are being used.
So again, it's a case-by-case situation.
​
We are all human, and I understand how difficult consistency can be. We start out doing well and then taper off as life gets in the way. With the products, consistency is very important so without beating yourself up, just start again after a missed application(s) or soak(s). The most important thing is to not give up on it. ​​​​
All of this information is my effort to prepare you and to be as up front and transparent as possible." ~Tina

The pictures to the left (above on mobile) are from a woman who contacted me telling me she was going to have surgery to have her toenails removed. I requested she try my services first. She was in excruciating pain, unable to wear shoes, and couldn't get to me for a little more than two weeks. So, I mailed her my recommended trio of products to use until her appointment. The top picture of the toes looking purple were taken the day she contacted me. The photos are before her pedicure with me and after using the products I sent her that she used for two weeks, twice a day faithfully. The after photos are after her pedicure. Two days after those pictures, I followed up with her to see how her feet felt and she stated, "like I never had a problem". I have been asked what was wrong with her toes. I do not know exactly. I do not diagnose and am not a Dr. All I know is that this was an incredible transformation that solidified my belief in the products and process.

The results in the above photos were achieved in one STAR-NT pedicure. Ongoing care was needed to restore the nails.
This is a combination of pincer toenails and fungus. This is very common. The after picture are immediately after her first appointment.
This situation below (and left) is from fungus. Moisture builds up between the layers of nail causing them to get thicker. These toes needed a lot of work. She got tired and sore from sitting before they could be finished, so this was completed in two sittings. She went home with products and will return for her follow up. Tina will update. The big yellow toenail really needs the product over time. The other big toenail was removed by a Dr., and she regrets it very much.
The pictures below are of a seriously advanced case of fungus on a diabetic. This is not common. However, this is what CAN happen if athletes' foot and fungus are left untreated.
These pictures below are ones he took himself and sent me prior to 1st appt. The pieces were coming off. Good example of what fungus does inside the nail.
