Nail Biting Treatment
What is it?
What is it and is there a nail biting treatment? Nail biting is also known as onychophagy. It is caused by a nervous, compulsive habit of biting your fingernails due to anxiety.
Home tips
Have you tried bitters on your fingernails? Bitters are like a nail polish that tastes horrible so it prevents you from wanting to put your fingers in your mouth.
Some clients have shared with us that having polish or gel polish helps them leave their fingers alone because they look nice.
When painting your nails at home, use polish with a nail strengthening base coat.
Treatment
Manicures help maximize a nail’s growth potential (assuming the client is ready to cease the nail biting). They achieve this through professional nail and cuticle work. A paraffin dip softens the damaged skin surrounding the nail.
Your nails will need to be strengthen up in order to grow past the tip of the finger. Nail hardeners do a really good job in strengthening your nails.
Post care
Use a nail brush as often as possible. We recommend daily hand lotion use, multiple times a day.
