For the protection and repair of nails during chemotherapy
Polybalm is the only product that is clinically proven to profoundly reduce chemotherapy nail damage
Ideally, Polybalm should be used from the beginning of chemotherapy to help prevent nail damage. However, if your treatment has already started, begin using Polybalm right away to support nail repair and protect against further damage.
Types of chemotherapy nail damage
Nail damage during chemotherapy is as common as hair loss, yet rarely discussed. It’s more than just a cosmetic concern—when pain and infection set in, even simple tasks like buttoning clothes or typing can become challenging, leading to avoidable emotional distress.

Laura’s experience
Laura experienced nail separation (onycholysis) during her chemotherapy. Her nails were unsightly and painful (as shown above) and were constantly snagging on clothes and bed sheets, waking her at night
Laura used Polybalm to repair her nails after already having experienced cancer therapy nail damage (as shown above). These are her results after 3 months of using Polybalm®
Polybalm®
is easy to use
You only need to massage a small amount of Polybalm® around each fingernail and toenail 2-3 times a day for it to be effective throughout your chemotherapy. For the best results you should use Polybalm® a few days prior to your chemotherapy starting.
