Dermatosurgery

Nail surgery for ingrown toenails is a minor surgical procedure performed to treat painful, inflamed, or infected toenails that grow into the surrounding skin. This condition can cause discomfort, swelling, and recurrent infections if left untreated. The surgery involves removing part or the entire affected nail and, in some cases, treating the nail matrix to prevent recurrence. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and provides relief from pain while improving nail health and function.

How Nail Surgery Works

• Local anesthesia is applied for a painless procedure.
• The affected portion of the nail is carefully removed.
• Nail matrix may be treated to prevent future ingrowth.
• Surrounding skin is cleaned and sutured if necessary.
• Post-procedure care ensures proper healing and prevents infection.

• Provides immediate relief from pain, swelling, and infection.
• Minimally invasive procedure with quick recovery.
• Reduces the risk of recurrence when nail matrix treatment is performed.
• Restores normal nail appearance and function.
• Safe and effective, performed by a trained dermatosurgeon.
