Skin & Nail Care

Nail surgery is usually performed to cure a chronic ingrown toenail. It can also be used to permanently remove thickened or deformed toenails. Nail surgery performed in our clinic is a simple “walk in walk out” procedure, performed under sterile conditions. It takes approximately 1 hour and is described in simple terms as follows:

1. A local anaesthetic is injected into the toe.
2. The offending section of nail is cut out at the root.
3. The nail bed is sterilised to ensure the offending section of nail does not regrow.
4. The toe is appropriately dressed with an antiseptic.

The benefit of nail surgery is that once the toe has fully healed the offending side or curved part of the nail will not regrow. We give a 100% guarantee that if any part of the removed nail regrows we will redo the operation at no cost to the patient.
