Toenail reconstruction is performed by a podiatrist using a specialist gel that is layered on top of unsightly or damaged nails so that the nail is more aesthetically pleasing. Designed specially for toenails it is an extremely elastic UV gel which adapts to the movements of the toe. This treatment typically lasts 4-8 weeks. The reconstructed toenail may be treated in the same way as you would treat a natural nail, this means that you can apply nail varnish and use a nail varnish remover (one that contains no acetone).

Nail Surgery for Ingrowing Toenails 

 

Nail Surgery – POA ranging from £350

An ingrowing toenail is a very painful condition. If left untreated the toe can become inflamed, infected and require ongoing courses of antibiotics. Depending on the toenail condition it can be removed partially or totally under the use of local anaesthetic injected into the toe which our podiatrists are fully qualified to administer. Phenol (a chemical caustic is then applied) to the nail bed to prevent the regrowth of the nail. Afterwards you go home, rest and elevate your leg for the rest of the day. You will need to return within 72 hours post-procedure for a review appointment. The operation site will take around 4-12 weeks to heal, you will need to return for a further post procedure review in one month. Following the procedure, it is important to regularly clean and redress the wound at home until advised to aid healing and reduce the chance of infection. Toenail surgery is only necessary for patients that do not respond to conservative treatment.

Do you suspect you have fungal nails?

Are you embarrassed by your toenail fungus? We now have a new treatment for fungal nails medically proven to clear the infection without any need for tablets, surgery or costly laser treatment. 

Background on Fungal Nails (Onychomycosis)

  • Fungal nails are associated with a fungal infection of the skin (Athlete’s foot), which migrates to the nails
  • They can become thickened, discoloured and crumbly
  • Tablets for fungal nails can cause unpleasant side effects, including significant risk to the liver
  • Although much safer, topical solutions cannot penetrate the nail plate easily

CLEARANAIL is a completely safe and painless procedure based upon Controlled Micro Penetration (CMP) technology. It produces tiny holes (0.4mm) through the nail without touching the skin beneath. Once the holes are drilled, you simply spray the nails daily with an anti-fungal treatment, until the infection has grown out. The holes allow the anti-fungal solution to reach the infection, allowing the nail to recover.
