I’m thrilled to share our latest systematic review published in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research. This work was spearheaded by Petra Jones as part of a special interest group within Foot in Diabetes UK (FDUK).

Say goodbye to ingrown toenail pain! 👣

An ingrown toenail can turn every step into a nightmare, but you don't have to live with the discomfort. One of the most effective, permanent solutions we offer is a Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA).

During this minor, in-clinic procedure:

• The toe is completely numbed with a local anaesthetic (you won't feel a thing!).

• Only the narrow piece of piercing nail is gently removed.

• We apply a special chemical (phenol) to the root to prevent that specific piece from ever growing back.

As you can see from these photos, the result is a neat, pain-free nail that heals just a few weeks and looks cosmetically very normal afterwards!

Tired of suffering in silence? Let’s get it sorted. Book a consultation with us today! 👇
