NAIL SURGERY FOR INGROWN TOENAILS
For people that suffer from reoccurring and problematic nail issues, we understand your pain! I will put an individualised treatment plan into place. This may involve performing a minor procedure to fix the infection and then see how the nail regrows. After possibly trying various conservative approaches, then we may have to implement another procedure that may permanently resolve the issues. The most common procedures we perform are the Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) and Total Nail Avulsion (TNA).
Toenail Surgery and Partial Nail Avulsion
Safe, Effective and Fast Healing
The most common procedure that we perform is called a Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) or Nail Wedge Resection. In this procedure, the piece of the nail that digs into your skin is removed and a chemical called Phenol is applied to prevent the regrowth of just that section of nail.

The procedure is a routine, simple, in-clinic treatment that takes around 1 hour from entering the clinic to leaving.
This treatment is highly effective, requires minimal downtime and importantly, it results in an immediate improvement in pain. We use special injection techniques to numb the area with Local Anaesthetic to ensure a gentle, straight forward experience for you.
