Healthy nails start from the foundation, and as a professional nail tech, you’re constantly seeking solutions that go beyond surface-level results. The ACESO Client Kit is a professional-grade treatment designed to support nail bed recovery by addressing persistent nail conditions at their source.
For years, IBX has been the go-to solution for strengthening nails from within the nail plate, but now, ACESO offers an advanced system targeting the nail bed, where many nail concerns actually begin.
What Makes ACESO Unique? Nail Bed vs. Nail Plate Treatments
If you’ve been limited by treatments that only address surface-level issues, ACESO fills a critical gap in professional nail care by working where it matters most — in the nail bed.
ACESO Works IN the Nail Bed
If you’ve ever felt limited by treatments that only work on the surface, ACESO fills a critical gap in professional nail care. Understanding its value starts with one key distinction:
While IBX works IN the nail plate, ACESO works IN the nail bed.
The IBX system penetrates the nail plate and creates an Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN), helping to repair internal damage, reduce peeling, and reinforce weak nails. It acts as the ultimate shield for the nail plate.
For your reference, like many advanced systems, the IBX duo pack (IBX and IBX Repair) is certified HEMA-FREE, addressing a major priority for many professional salons.
ACESO, on the other hand, is formulated to penetrate through the nail plate and deliver natural bio-actives directly onto the nail bed and surrounding soft tissue. As a result, it provides targeted support for symptoms that traditional nail plate treatments alone cannot fully address.
How ACESO Helps with Common Troubled Nail Conditions
The ACESO Client Kit is an essential tool for nail professionals working with clients who experience recurring or difficult nail conditions. Here are some of the most common conditions ACESO supports:
Nail Lifting
ACESO helps promote a cleaner, healthier nail bed environment, supporting the re-attachment process as new nail growth emerges.
ACESO assists in reducing the buildup of dead tissue beneath the nail plate, addressing thickened, discolored, or distorted nails.
Natural bio-actives in ACESO help manage microbial overgrowth, improving nail bed health and reducing the risk of infections.
Tinea Pedis
ACESO Step 2 is ideal for applying to soft tissue between toes, supporting healthy skin and nail growth.
ACESO is crucial in aiding recovery from nail trauma, helping maintain the nail’s integrity as it regrows.
By offering ACESO as part of your services, you’ll provide targeted nail bed recovery to address these common issues more effectively than surface treatments alone.
The Power of Nature: Why Natural Bio-Actives Matter in Nail Care
In today’s salon environment, clients increasingly demand results-driven treatments that are both effective and natural. The ACESO Client Kit uses a selection of natural bio-actives known for their ability to support and improve nail health without relying on harsh chemicals.
ACESO STEP 1 – Nail Bed Focus
14.8 mL / 0.5 fl oz
Step 1 is applied directly to the nail bed, targeting the root of nail health issues.
Key Natural Actives:
- Tea Tree Oil & Clove: Known for their purifying and soothing properties, helping maintain a balanced nail bed environment.
- Bentaine: A powerful emollient that improves ingredient penetration and supports hydration.
ACESO STEP 2 – Soft Tissue Focus
14.8 mL / 0.5 fl oz
Step 2 is applied to the soft tissue surrounding the nail plate, including areas between fingers and toes.
Key Natural Actives:
- Tannic Acid & Prolamine: These ingredients form a light dermal film that allows active ingredients to penetrate while supporting the surrounding skin.
The Secret Weapon: ACESO DEBRIDER
What truly sets the ACESO Client Kit apart is the inclusion of the ACESO Debrider, a critical tool for nail bed recovery.
- Function:
- The Debrider is used to flush out and soften dead tissue and debris trapped between the nail plate and the nail bed.
- Why It Matters:
- By reducing this buildup, the Debrider helps new nail growth remain attached as it grows forward—an essential step for supporting recovery from onycholysis and nail trauma.
- Key Natural Active:
- Quillaja, a natural cleansing and foaming agent, assists in loosening and removing debris mechanically.
Your Professional Protocol: Using the ACESO Client Kit
To achieve the best results, ACESO should be used as part of a structured service protocol in your salon. These treatments support long-term recovery, so the key is consistent use.
- Remove any overlays.
- File the affected free edge as short as possible.
- Gently thin the nail plate (within the client’s comfort level) to maximize penetration.
Clients should be instructed to use ACESO Step 1 and Step 2 daily (preferably twice a day) to continue the recovery process at home.
- Apply Step 1 to the nail surface or under the nail plate.
- Apply Step 2 to the surrounding soft tissue.
- Use the Debrider every 2 days until the nail area is clear of buildup.
Ongoing Support:
Schedule follow-up appointments every 2–4 weeks to monitor progress and maintain the nail bed and plate.
