Nail Surgery

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.

Nail surgery is a safe, routine procedure that offers immediate relief from the pressure and pain of an ingrown nail. By utilizing techniques to prevent regrowth, we ensure that you can return to your favorite activities without the fear of recurring symptoms. Our surgical care process includes:

  • Local anaesthetic to ensure the entire procedure is completely comfortable and stress-free
  • Permanent regrowth prevention using a specialized chemical application to the nail matrix
  • Sterile clinical environment to maintain the highest standards of safety and infection control
  • Comprehensive aftercare including follow-up redressing appointments to monitor your healing
  • Minimal downtime allowing most patients to return to work or school within a day or two
  • Aesthetic results designed to maintain a natural look for the nail while removing the cause of pain
