Formulations & Techniques to Promote Nail Growth

Method for promoting nail growth that involves removing unnecessary substances from the nail to allow proper growth. The method includes disinfecting, softening, peeling, and removing steps. The disinfection and softening treatments prepare the nail, eponychium, and loose cuticle. Then the peeling step removes the eponychium and loose cuticle from the nail plate. Finally, the removal step takes loose cuticle from the pocket between the eponychium and nail. This prevents reaction forces from the cuticle impeding nail growth. Other steps like anti-drying, surface protection, and polishing can be added. The peeling device pushes against the nail plate and eponychium to separate them. Automatic pushers maintain consistent force to avoid damaging the nail root.

Compositions and methods for accelerating nail growth, treating brittle nails, and strengthening nails using cyclosporine. The compositions contain cyclosporine in amounts effective for nail applications. The cyclosporine can be in various forms like emulsions, solutions, gels, pastes, dispersions, or suspensions. The cyclosporine concentration ranges from 0.01% to 0.05% w/v. The compositions can be administered topically to the nail bed, nail matrix, nail tip, and cuticle to enhance nail growth, thicken and strengthen nails, and treat nail disorders.

Using chitosan, chitosan derivatives, and salts thereof to increase nail growth and treat nail growth disorders. Chitosan applied to nails promotes nail growth and shortens treatment time for nail conditions like mycosis, psoriasis, lichen planus, atopic dermatitis, and dystrophy. Chitosan stimulates nail cell regeneration and extrusion to increase nail length. Compositions containing chitosan for nail treatments can have improved nail growth compared to similar products without chitosan.

Using chitosan, chitosan derivatives, and their salts to increase nail growth rate and treat nail disorders. Chitosan, derived from chitin, promotes nail growth when applied to the nails. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments for conditions like onychomycosis. Chitosan products applied to nails significantly increase nail growth rate and shorten treatment time for nail disorders.

Compositions and methods for enhancing nail health, cuticle health, and nail growth in humans and animals. The compositions contain prostaglandins, prostamides, and derivatives for treating brittle nails and other nail disorders. They can also include anti-inflammatory drugs, immunomodulators, and other ingredients like glycerin and carbomers. The compositions can be formulated as emulsions, pastes, or polishes. The prostaglandins like bimatoprost stimulate nail growth and improve nail health. The anti-inflammatory drugs reduce inflammation. The immunomodulators like cyclosporine enhance nail growth. The compositions can be used to treat brittle nails, nail disorders, and promote nail growth.

Compositions and methods for promoting nail growth, treating brittle nails, and strengthening nails using topical applications. The compositions contain oil-in-water emulsions with oils like castor oil, surfactants like polysorbate 80, glycerin, and optional ingredients like polyacrylates. Administering these emulsions once or multiple times a day to nails, nail beds, or cuticles stimulates nail growth, thickens, strengthens, and smooths nails. It can also treat conditions like psoriasis, brittle nails, inflammation, etc.

Composition for promoting nail growth or nail regeneration using valproic acid or its salt. The composition can be used in pharmaceuticals or cosmetics to accelerate fingernail or toenail growth. Valproic acid is a drug used to treat epilepsy and mood disorders. At a concentration of 0.5-30% based on total weight, valproic acid promotes nail growth when applied topically. This composition can be useful for treating slow-growth conditions like onychomycosis or nail dystrophy.

Topical compositions and methods for promoting nail and cuticle growth, thickening, and strengthening in humans and animals. The compositions contain oil-in-water emulsions applied topically to nails and cuticles once a day or more frequently. The emulsions can include active compounds like cyclosporin A and surfactants like polysorbate 80 along with oils like castor oil. The emulsions accelerate nail growth, treat brittle nails, and enhance nail health.

Using dialkyl sulfones like methylsulfonylmethane in nail care compositions like nail polish to promote nail growth and increase nail growth rate, especially for soft nails that bend easily. The dialkyl sulfones accelerate nail growth when applied to nails.
