A permanent solution for recurring issues
Ingrown toenails often persist despite conservative care. When a nail becomes chronic or infected, a minor surgical procedure called a partial nail avulsion (PNA) is the most effective solution. Performed under local anesthetic, this in-clinic procedure removes the offending nail edge to prevent it from regrowing into the skin. This provides immediate relief and a long-term result, allowing a quick return to normal activities.
