• Initial Assessment & Conservative Care: Before recommending surgery, we assess nail shape, footwear habits, and trimming technique. We may first provide nail edge lifting, partial nail file-back, and debridement.
• Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA): For chronic or severe cases, our podiatrists perform a Partial Nail Avulsion with Phenolisation under local anaesthetic. This safe, in-clinic procedure removes the problematic nail segment and applies phenol to prevent regrowth of the offending edge.
• Minimally Invasive Technique: The procedure typically takes 15–20 minutes, with immediate pain relief. Patients can usually return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
• Post-Op Care & Follow-Up: We provide clear instructions on wound care, pain management, and footwear choices to ensure rapid healing and prevent infection. A follow-up visit confirms successful recovery.
• Prevention Education: We teach proper nail-cutting techniques, recommend suitable shoes, and discuss lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of recurrence.

As high-risk foot specialists, we ensure sterile technique, effective pain control, and personalised aftercare. Whether you have one troublesome toe or multiple ingrown nails, we deliver reliable results to keep you walking pain-free.
