Change to a better version of your nail.
Nail surgery also known as Nail avulsion involves detachment of the nail plate from the nail bed ventrally and the proximal nail folds proximally and dorsally.
The surgical procedure involves the redistribution of Healthy hair follicles from the back of the scalp to the bald area of the head. These transplanted hairs will grow naturally and they are not affected by hormones causing baldness.
How the procedure done?
- Firstly the nail is anaesthetised with a local anaesthetic injected at the base of nail.
- When it gets completely numb, an antiseptic solution will be applied to the toe to minimise the chance of infection. The offending nail or piece of the nail will then be removed.
- A chemical solution (phenol) is applied to stop the nail from regrowing.
- A protective dressing will be applied, and the operation is complete. The whole procedure is over and done within an hour (for one toe).
What are all the benefits of nail surgery?
- It is a permanent cure to the underlying problem
- Pain will be relieved & the cause of infection is removed
- A Painless procedure usually done under local anesthesia
- Day care procedure & Normal activities can be resumed
- Partial nail removal is cosmetically acceptable
