1. Post-sea diagnosis — 4 classic damages
On holiday return, we observe:
- Plate dehydration — matte surface, micro-streaks, thinner nail.
- Free-edge peeling — layers separating, nail "peels".
- Yellow staining — chlorine + sun = keratin oxidation.
- Dry cuticles — skin around nail cracked, sometimes bleeding.
Free diagnosis at start of treatment at You Rêve. If fungal suspicion: podiatrist referral.

For lightly damaged nails (dehydration, micro-streaks):
