What we do

Here at Nail Surgery Cardiff we specialise in the permanent removal of ingrown, fungal and damaged nails.

We can perform a 'full' or 'partial' permanent removal of ingrown toenails. A partial nail removal involves taking a small portion of the offending nail off.

The procedure involves two injections of local anesthetic into the offending toe. This is to completely numb your toe so you don't feel anything during the procedure. The offending portion of the nail is then removed. A solution is then rubbed into the base of the nail to prevent that part regrowing.

The procedure usually takes around 35 minutes. The patient can resume normal activities the next day. Full healing takes 4-8 weeks where a small dressing is placed over the toe daily for the first two weeks. The patient will walk in and walk out following the procedure. They are advised to put their feet up for the rest of the day.
