However, we recommend discussing your condition with us beforehand to ensure we take the best approach for your needs.

Phenol Procedure for Ingrown Toenails

The Phenol procedure is the most common treatment for ingrown toenails. This effective method involves removing part or all of the toenail and applying Phenol to prevent the ingrown nail from returning. The process is quick and minimally invasive, offering long-term relief.

Here’s how the procedure works:

  1. Local Anaesthetic: We begin by applying a local anaesthetic to the affected toe to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.
  2. Nail Separation: The ingrown portion of the toenail is carefully separated from the nail bed.
  3. Partial Removal: Only the problematic part of the toenail is removed, leaving the healthy nail intact.
  4. Phenol Application: Phenol is then applied to the nail matrix (the growth area) to stop the nail from regrowing in an ingrown way.
  5. Flushing and Dressing: The treated area is cleaned with saline and covered with a sterile bandage to help prevent infection and promote healing.

Follow-Up Care

After the procedure, you’ll need a follow-up visit to ensure your toe is healing properly. Our team will guide you through the recovery process and answer any questions you may have.
