Treatment Options Available
-
Conservative Treatment
Removal of the offending nail edge, dressing, and ongoing management. Often suitable for mild, early-stage ingrowing nails. -
Local Anaesthetic Procedure
For more painful or severe cases, we can remove the problematic section of nail under anaesthetic to provide instant relief. -
Nail Surgery (Partial Nail Avulsion)
A highly effective permanent solution where the ingrown edge is removed and the nail root is treated to prevent regrowth. Ideal for recurring problems.
