Nail Surgery

Prescribing clinician-led minor nail surgery for recurrent ingrown toenails — a safe, effective procedure performed under local anaesthetic in a sterile clinical setting.

What is nail surgery?

Nail surgery is a minor surgical procedure designed to treat persistent or painful nail conditions, such as ingrown toenails or thickened nails. It involves the removal of part or all of the affected nail under local anaesthetic, ensuring a pain-free experience during the procedure.

The word “surgery” can sound daunting, but this is a straightforward minor procedure carried out in a sterile clinical environment. Most patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable the experience is.
