Ingrown Toenail Removal in Perth by Foot & Leg Podiatry

Nails form an important finish to your toes that allow your digits to hold their unique shape. They also protect your toes from damage and are useful for grip, however their shape can sometimes change over time or in response to injury and become ingrown. If the nail pushes on the surrounding skin it blocks blood supply to the skin – killing the skin and allowing bacteria to feast on the nutrient rich material, soon becoming infected and VERY painful. If left untreated you can lose your whole toe so removing the ingrown toenail quickly and permanently may be your best option. 

Tight-fitting shoes, restrictive socks, poor grooming habits and high impact sports are often causes of an ingrown toenail aside from genetics (blame your parents). Foot & Leg Podiatry offer nail surgery for painfull ingrown toenails. 

If you’ve had multiple ingrown toenails throughout your life it may be worth discussing a permanent ingrown toenail solution. At Foot & Leg Podiatry we provide ingrown toenail removal Perth wide. We believe it is the most effective treatment for ingrown toenails.

Stop suffering from ingrown toenail pain and book an appointment today.
Ingrown toenail removal involves numbing the area with a fast-acting local anaesthetic; that specifically targets nerves to block pain signals during the procedure ensuring a painless removal. The full nail or part of a nail can be removed – allowing for a beautiful cosmetic finish. Then a neutralising solution is applied to permanently neutralise the nail matrix; stopping your nail forming cells from growing back. Once the procedure is complete your toe is dressed and nature takes over to heal the toe. Now free from the offending nail and pain.

Although ingrown toenail removal is primarily for ingrown toenails, it may also treat associated nail conditions such as previously unsuccessful toenail removal, infected toenails requiring surgical debridement, thick fungal nails or mis-shaped problem nails. Preventing the nail from growing, cleaning infected tissue and stopping the issue for good.
