2mm and above

As in image, as long as the space between both ends of the nail is 2mm and above, the appliance is compatible for any kind of deformed nail. (2mm is required for hanging hooks in between)

If you are suffering from severe symptom, for example a nail shaped just like a tube, there are cases you can equip the appliance by following directions below.

1.Soak your foot in warm water for over 15 minutes.
2.Confirm if the nail is sufficiently softened.
3.Slightly widen the space between the ends with small pliers.

*Do not use the appliance if there’s bleeding, fester, inflammation, and other situations occurring around the nail. Please make sure to use the appliance after the situation is healed.

Please prioritize the treatment for fungus first, and use the appliance after it is completely healed.
The fungus may affect tissues of the nail, and in the case the nail may not be softened in spite of sufficient soaking in warm water.

*Do not use the appliance if there’s bleeding, fester, inflammation, and other situations occurring around the nail. Please make sure to use the appliance after the situation is healed.

The treatment may cause larger crack. Please make sure there’s no crack on your nail. If you find any, please grow the nail prior to the treatment, and cut the cracked part off.

There are 2 types of Robo to “beautifully reshape your nail”, no matter what kind of symptom you have. The shape of the nail formed with the treatment directly results to the final outcome of the nail shape, thus the requirement for “beautiful reshape” is to lift up the nail with Robo in beautiful shape.
The type of nails for each individual differs in size, thickness, level of curl and deformation, etc., and 2 types of Robo enables any type of ingrown nails to lift up and reshape in symmetrical, beautiful shape.

[ A type ]

・It’s designed for flexible use even on heavily curved nail or small nails, by leveraging 4 joints on shoulder and arm of the appliance.
・Comes with 7 types of nail pressurizer.
* This enables best treatment condition that best fits shape and size of your nail.
・Has ability to lift both sides of your nail with equal power.

[ B type ]

・Not eligible for nails deformed for over 90 degrees, as joints are only placed on shoulder of the appliance.
・Comes with single size nail pressurizer. (1 for a spare)
* It’s designed for lift up on single side, thus there’s no need for multiple type of pressurizer.
・Has ability to lift up on single side of a nail with twice the force of A type.

Please imagine your hair as an example. Nail and hair are both made of protein, thus they have similar characteristics, and there’s no pain even if you cut them, as they are both composed of dead cells.
Your hair keeps its curvature when its heated with a curler. On the contrary, they reform to their original shape when it’s moisturized with rain or hair wash. *As nail is much thicker than a single hair, the treatment would take more time, but still the characteristic is the same.
By leveraging moisture and heat, the nail could change or keep its shape freely in short period of time.

You will hardly feel any pain when installing Robo. This is made possible with 2 adjustment mechanism “a spring and a screw”, which softly adjusts when the nail is hard, and strongly adjusts when it’s soft.
* If you feel any pain, it can be eased by soaking in warm water for about 15 minutes before hooking.
In this case, soaking in warm water after installing the appliance can be shortened to around 10 minutes.

If the soaking time is insufficient, it may cause nail damage. The purpose for soaking is to moisturize and soften the nail to its limit. For those with nails with normal thickness (0.8mm-1.1mm), please soak for around 20 minutes, and for those with thick nails, please soak for 30 minutes or more.
For the water temperature, please start with 38-42°C, and it’s OK for the water to be little cooler in the end of the procedure. You can also add hot water during the procedure.

The sufficient soaking time varies by each individual, based on hardness, thickness, and moisture of the nail. You can finish soaking when you can easily lift up the tip of the nail without pain, or if there’s no pain when pushing the center of the nail downwards.
* This is the most important procedure for effective treatment, thus please take much time as possible until you get use to the procedure.

If the drying is insufficient, the nail would easily deform again. Please make sure the warm wind hits whole nail, and take about 10 minutes for drying. (15 minutes for those with thick nails)
The purpose of this procedure is to harden the nail, thus longer and higher temperature provides better result, but please be careful not to burn your skin.

Any container would work as long as its depth is 15cm or deeper and large enough to soak whole foot. For the amount of warm water, we recommend as much as possible, as the temperature could easily fall with small amount of water.

The bacteria can be easily bled in the grooves on the hook after use.
Please use brush and firmly wash with a neutral detergent. Please make sure to completely dry the appliance after cleaning.

It’s a product designed for the thumbnail on your toe, which utilized the force of a spring to maintain the height of the sides of the nail until the fresh rises after treated with Makizume Robo.

Accessory 1

Installation Tool -> A tool that makes block easier to be fixed on a nail

Accessory 2

A nail cover -> A cover to protect from lodging with socks, etc.

Accessory 3

A measuring set -> A measuring tool used to measure nail length and thickness

Please use the measuring set which comes along with Makizume Robo.
The size best fits your nail can be determined by measuring the width from side to side along the curve of your nail.
（ The product is designed for those with width between 16mm and 26.5mm ）

16mm - 19.5mm = S size
19.5mm - 23mm = M size

Makidume Block is made of stainless steel, but is covered with noble metals, which fulfills same level of metal allergy solution with a general accessories.
* It is not eligible for those with severe allergy symptom which reacts to noble metals as well.

Thickness and hardness are the two main factor for deciding best correction strength, especially thickness. If the strength is too strong, it may cause nail damage, thus please start out with normal strength, and change to the hard type if you feel it’s too weak. If you feel need for more stronger one, please try super hard type.

If your nail is thicker than 0.8mm, and wouldn’t easily chip off, yes you can start out with the hard type.
* Please note it’s hard to determine the thickness and the strength of your nail, so our recommendation is to start out with the normal type.

Sure. Please use the cover attached made for the purpose not to interfere your daily life, including exercising.

We’ve designed it fashionable and cute, not to feel discomfort when it’s standing out.

No problem at all.

If the cover is sufficiently put on, several times of bathing wouldn’t cause any effect. If you’ve been continuously using a same cover for long period of time, please change with new one.

Cut off in just size with your nail, and gently paste to your nail without stretching.

Soak into nail polish remover before peeling off.
* As the adhesive power of the cover is very strong, please make sure not to peel off aggressively, as it might over-stretch the Block.

It’s best to change the cover when it started to become dirty.
(You can easily peel the cover off by soaking it to nail polish remover.)
* Please be careful not to over-stretch the Block when removing the cover.
