Nail surgery is a procedure which is carried out under local anaesthetic to treat the ingrowing toenail when it pierces the flesh of the toe.
Assessment appointment: £37
There are several reasons that result in ingrowing toenails: tight footwear, involuted or wide nails or rough edges that are left to grow. It is very common that the skin can then become inflamed and possibly infected. Usually, it is the big toe which gets affected, but an ingrowing nail can affect any toe.
Teenagers and young adults are the most common category of people that ingrowing nails affect.
Symptoms: Red, painful, swelling, warm, the presence of pus if it’s infected for which antibiotics will be needed.
Nail surgery is a procedure which is carried out under local anaesthetic to treat the ingrowing toenail when it pierces the flesh of the toe. In most cases just a small section of nail is removed – this is a partial nail removal and can leave the nail permanently narrower. Sometimes, a total nail removal may be performed where the entire nail is removed. In most surgeries the chemical, phenol, is used to cauterise the nail and prevent regrowth. This will help prevent any further problems returning.

1 toe: £300

I had struggled with a fungal fingernail infection for over three years and after it spread to a second fingernail I knew it was something I really wanted to try and resolve. Thankfully, I stumbled across Foot Faults through a lucky Google search, hoping for any remedy that might make my fingernails look just that little bit better! I saw Foot Faults offered Lunula Laser and after reading all of the useful information on Foot Faults website about this particular type of laser treatment I decided I’d contact the team. I must say that even though I’d seen evidence of great results from Lunula Laser on the website, I was still sceptical that such a simple 12 minute laser treatment, that was pain free, over the next couple of months would cure my nails. I’d lived with unsightly nails for over three years, surely it wasn’t going to be that easy! However, I was proven wrong and after just two treatments, and only around eight weeks from my initial consultation the results were unbelievable. The clear regrowth on both my fungal nails was phenomenal and more importantly the nails were sealing to the nail and no longer lifting or catching. My nails started to look normal and I no longer needed to wear plasters over my nails! Francesca and Nicola gave me a great at-home care plan to make sure I kept my nails clean and also gave me great advice on nail care going forwards to hopefully prevent any fungal nail infections in the future. I cannot recommend Foot Faults and the Lunula Laser treatment plan enough. It sounds dramatic but it’s changed my life. After living with unsightly nails for over three years, the treatment has given me my confidence back and I would recommend it to anyone.
Excellent experience with my 11 year old daughter who needed attention after sports activities created some nasty blisters. Nicola treated and dressed the blisters and offered great advice to help with sports footwear and general care. A fantastic clinic with top class service!
I was really pleased with the service I received! Can't rate highly enough! Ideal access for disabled people + plenty of parking too. My feet were thoroughly checked over and I felt assured I was being well taken care of, especially with the range of modern equipment she uses which I haven't seen before. Will be going back again! Thanks again!
Nicola was very reassuring during my initial phone call to make an appointment to visit her. She welcomed me on arrival and set me at ease. The treatment I received was gentle, thorough and pain free. I walked in limping in pain and walked out with no pain. My toes are now recovering following her advice. I would recommend Nicola everytime to anyone with any kind of Foot fault or simple nail clippings.
This new podiatry business has literally hit the floor running! Nicola has changed what I assume to have been an ordinary business unit into a state of the art podiatry haven. To my untrained eye as far as feet are concerned, nothing has been left out for the treatment of poorly feet, from a laser machine down to the smallest of instruments! Also installed is an amazing air purifier which removes all the nasty little particles in the air which is so reassuring during this pandemic. The decorations are calm, fresh and easy on the eye. As for Nicola, she is a lovely young lady! Kind, caring with a great sense of humour! She explained why I had a problem and how to care for my nails in the future! Well done, Nicola! All the very best for your future success.
“The results have amazed me. Nicola is lovely, professional and really informative. I can’t believe my nails look like normal nails again! Time to buy new sandals!!
My 92 year old dad had the best experience having his feet treated with Nicola at Foot Faults. Everything was explained beautifully with such professionalism and care immediately putting my dad at ease in the amazing state of the art room which was incredibly sterile and clean . We will be back!
Welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful & skilful, everything I wanted to address the issue with my foot. Would definitely recommend Nicola as she will be my first port of call with any issues I may have with my feet in the future.
Nicola is not only a very friendly and competent podiatrist but she also offers a beautiful, modern and clean practice with a very practical parking access.
