Understanding Incurvated Toenails
An incurvated toenail, often referred to as an ingrown toenail, occurs when the toenail curves and grows into the surrounding skin. This can lead to:
Pain and discomfort
Redness and swelling
Potential infections if untreated
Common causes include improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, or a genetic predisposition to curved nails.

Laser Surgery for Incurvated Toenails
Laser surgery is a state-of-the-art treatment for stubborn incurvated toenails and nail infections. Using a high-frequency laser, we target and remove the problematic nail tissue and fungus, offering a permanent fix for recurring issues.
Laser nail therapy in NYC is recognized for its effectiveness and safety. Patients benefit from a precise, minimally invasive treatment that significantly reduces the risk of infection and promotes faster healing. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn ingrown toenail or a fungal infection, laser surgery can help restore the health and appearance of your nails.
Chemical Cauterization for Permanent Nail Removal
Chemical cauterization is a proven method for permanently removing troublesome toenails. This procedure involves the removal of one or both sides of a toenail, along with any present fungus tissue. By treating the nail root with a specialized chemical, we prevent the nail from growing back, ensuring long-term relief.
If the entire toenail needs to be removed, the same process is applied to the entire nail bed and root. This method is effective in preventing the recurrence of ingrown toenails and fungal infections, providing long-term relief and improved foot health.
Toenail Surgery in Brooklyn, NY
Toenail surgery is a specialized procedure designed to address various types of toenail deformities that can cause discomfort, pain, and cosmetic concerns. Here’s a closer look at the conditions that may require surgical intervention:
Ingrown Toenails and Incurvated Nails
Ingrowing Toenail
This occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to significant pain, swelling, and redness. If left untreated, an ingrown toenail can become infected, causing further complications.
Toenail surgery can remove the offending portion of the nail and prevent future occurrences, providing relief and restoring normal function.
Incurvated Nail
An incurvated nail, also known as a pincer nail, curves inward, pressing into the skin.
This condition can be extremely painful, often leading to chronic irritation and infection.
Surgical correction involves reshaping or removing part of the nail to alleviate discomfort and prevent future issues.
Fungus Nail
Fungal infections in the toenail can cause discoloration, thickening, and brittleness.
Toenail surgery can effectively remove the infected nail or nail portion, allowing for healthier regrowth and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Thick Nail (Hypertrophied)
Hypertrophied nails become abnormally thick, often due to repetitive trauma or poor circulation.
Toenail surgery can thin or remove the thickened nail, improving comfort and appearance while preventing further complications.
Injury to a Toenail
Trauma to the toenail can result in deformities, discoloration, or even nail loss.
Surgical intervention can repair the damaged nail or remove it entirely, allowing for proper healing and the potential for normal nail regrowth.
