Ingrown toenail surgery (Partial Nail Avulsion) is a minor procedure to remove a nail edge piercing the skin.
When a nail curves and cuts into the flesh, it causes infection and pain. A wedge resection toenail removes this side section down to the root. For severe cases, a toe nail avulsion (removing the whole nail) may be needed. The goal is a healthy, straight nail edge that no longer digs in to your toe.
We use a proven medical technique to ensure the nail helps you heal:
We inject a local anaesthetic to the base of the toe, ensuring you feel zero pain during the procedure.
Your doctor performs a precise wedge resection, removing only the offending sliver of nail digging into the skin.
We apply Phenol to the nail root (matrix) to destroy the cells growing the spike, ensuring permanent nail removal at the edge.
We apply a sterile dressing, and you can walk out immediately (in open shoes) and drive home.
We know life gets busy, so we’ve brought a wide range of medical services together under one roof. From sudden illnesses to long-term wellness, here is how we help. Family & General Health || Women’s Wellness || Skin Health & Aesthetics || Chronic Care & Specialized Support
