What does ingrown toenail treatment involve?

An ingrown toenail is a common condition that mainly affects the big toe and appears when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. This process can trigger local inflammation, recurrent infections and sharp pain, especially while walking or wearing shoes. The problem is encouraged by several factors, including cutting the nails incorrectly (especially too rounded), wearing tight shoes, repeated trauma to the toes, or a particular anatomical shape of the nail. When conservative treatments do not work, surgery remains the most effective way to resolve it.

What are the benefits of ingrown toenail treatment?

Ingrown toenail treatment at ArtMedica brings a range of significant benefits, both in the short term and for preventing recurrence:

Removing the cause of the pain: Through surgery, the problem part of the nail is removed, which brings the immediate disappearance of pain and inflammation.
Stopping recurrent infections: Treating the nail root reduces the risk of repeated infections and prevents the build-up of inflamed tissue.
Improved appearance: The shape of the nail is corrected, and the appearance of the affected toe is restored, without unpleasant deformities or thickening.
Safe, quick procedure: The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, in a controlled setting, by a plastic surgeon, which ensures a high level of safety and precision.
Effective recovery: Most patients return to their usual activities within just a few days, with minimal restrictions and reduced discomfort.
Much lower risk of recurrence: Partial matricectomy or treating the nail root helps prevent the problem from coming back in the same area.
Multidisciplinary support: At the ArtMedica clinic, the patient benefits not only from surgery but also from ongoing care and prevention from the medical pedicure specialist, which helps keep the nail healthy over the long term.
