About the procedure
One of the most common podological problems is the ingrowth of the edge of the nail plate into the soft parts of the lateral ridge. Such a condition can appear once or have a chronic condition. An ingrown nail is a condition that can develop due to various reasons, namely: improper trimming of the free edge of the nail plate, deep cutting of corners, wearing tight shoes, deformation of the nail plate, fungal infections.

Procedure
How is the procedure for removing an ingrown nail performed?
In our Clinic we use a modern non-surgical method of treating an ingrown toenail. A podiatrist will be able to effectively treat an ingrown toenail without pain and without surgery, for patients of any age. Individually selects the treatment method to facilitate the procedure and preserve the aesthetic appearance of the nail. The podiatrist uses Kapolin, which serves as a gasket between the nail plate and the lateral ridge, for tamponade of the lateral ridges of the nail. This lifts the ingrown toenail, relieving pressure on the inflamed area. Treatment of an ingrown nail with the help of a corrective system - it is installed to gradually correct the shape and direction of the growth of the nail plate, relieve pain pressure and treat inflammation.

Frequently asked questions
Does a specialist administer anesthesia?
It is worth noting that pain-killing injections into the finger are much more painful than the procedure itself. In addition, your reaction will help the specialist determine how and what needs to be done to achieve better results. Everything happens gradually and with comments on the next steps. It is absolutely not painful and not scary.
What is the cost of treating an ingrown toenail?
Each case is individual, so the necessary treatment takes a different amount of time. The price for treatment in our Clinic will be optimal for you. The Clinic employs highly qualified specialists who regularly undergo training and advanced training. A meeting with a podiatrist is required for a clearer and more correct consultation.
What measures should be used to prevent the problem of an ingrown toenail?
It is worth buying high-quality shoes, and necessarily according to size. You should not wear shoes of smaller sizes, if the shoes are tight, then you should abandon them. It is also necessary to cut the nails correctly (use manicure scissors or nippers) and periodically give the foot a break from wearing closed shoes.
