When routine nail care is not suitable, our team may advise that a surgical approach to your nail condition is the most effective treatment plan. Our Podiatrists are skilled in the surgical removal of either part or all of a nail, which offers a permanent solution to painful, infected, damaged or ingrown nails.
Following the administration of a local anaesthetic we will skilfully remove the offending nail or nail section and if required use a chemical (phenol) to cauterise the cells that make that part of the nail to prevent re-growth.
We will see you at regular intervals throughout the healing process and provide you with a dressing pack for self care at home. In our York clinics we have the added benefit of being able to apply laser therapy to your surgical site to help speed up recovery for you.
Not sure if you require a surgical approach? Don’t hesitate to contact us.
