Ingrown Nail Treatment

Our specialists will discuss the pros and cons of any of the surgical treatment options at the time of your consultation.

The Most Comprehensive
Ingrown Toenail Surgical Services.

We offer an all-inclusive price for our ingrown toenail surgical services. A partial nail avulsion, which is the permanent correction of ingrown toenails with a minor surgical procedure, is an all-inclusive price depending on various factors. This involves one or both sides of the toenail, all dressings including a take-home dressing pack, and your follow-up appointments.

Conservative Nail Care
(Non-Surgical)

This is a one-off treatment for first-time ingrown toenails that is simple and easy, safe, sterile and offers immediate relief from your ingrown toenail.

Partial Nail Avulsion

A partial nail avulsion (PNA) provides a permanent, safe and effective solution to the problem of frustrating and painful ingrown toenails by removing a small portion of the ingrown nail edge under local anaesthetic.

Total Nail Avulsion

A total nail avulsion (TNA) procedure involves the safe removal of the entire toenail. This procedure is indicated in a variety of circumstances, such as for toenails that are heavily damaged and disfigured alongside having an ingrown nail.

THE PROCEDURE:

INGROWN TOENAIL TREATMENT

During a PNA, we remove the bothersome nail edge and apply a chemical that stops the specific ‘problem’ part of the nail from growing back.

  • We start by cleaning and disinfecting the site – not just the toe but the front half of your foot, to minimise the risk of any foreign particles from coming in contact with the toe during this procedure.
  • We then inject the toe with a local anaesthetic using a thin needle.
  • Once we confirm that your toe is numb, we carry out the procedure where we remove the small portion of the nail that is growing into the skin and causing you pain.
  • With your permission, we then apply a chemical called phenol to destroy some of the nail growing cells, so that edge of the nail does not continue to grow back and cause you pain.
  • We dress the toe to promote best healing.
  • We book you in for a dressing change and give you instructions on how to best care for your toe in the meantime
