Minor Surgery & Verruca Needling
Nail surgery is a procedure characterized by minimal discomfort and is conducted under anesthesia. During the, a segment of the nail is excised down to its base, followed by the application of a chemical agent to inhibit regrowth. certain instances, complete nail removal may be necessary. This surgical intervention is generally pursued when treatments have proven ineffective, particularly in cases presenting with persistent pain, swelling, discharge, infection, or alterations in the skin or nail, including deformities and excessive skin growth around the nail. With over 20 years of clinical experience in successfully performing nail surgeries, you can be assured of receiving expert care.
Verrucas, or viral warts, can manifest on any part of the foot. These benign tumors result from an infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and can be particularly resistant to treatment. When traditional options have been exhausted, verruca needling may serve as a viable alternative. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia; once the area is sufficiently numbed, a sterile needle is utilized to puncture the wart, thereby disrupting it and stimulating the immune response to target the viral infection.
For further information regarding these procedures, including recovery times and associated costs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
