Ingrown Toe Nail Removal

Left untreated, ingrown toenails can lead to infection and more serious complications, especially for individuals with diabetes or poor circulation.

Types of Ingrown Toenail Surgeries

Partial Nail Avulsion

A partial nail avulsion (PNA) surgery is a permanent removal of a side of a nail that is ingrowing. The procedure involves the use of local anesthetic and phenolisation to achieve the best results. 

Total Nail Avulsion

A total nail avulsion (TNA) surgery involves the removal of the full length of the nail that is damaging the skin. This produce is done using local anesthetic and phenolisation to achieve the best result.

Aftercare: Recovery & Prevention Tips

After your treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent recurrence:

  • Keep the area clean and dry.
  • Use dressings as advised and avoid tight footwear for a few days.
  • Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness or pus.
  • Trim your toenails straight across and avoid cutting into the corners.
  • Wear properly fitting shoes with enough toe room.

We’ll follow up as needed to ensure your toe heals properly and stays healthy.
