What to Expect
-
Initial Assessment
We begin with a full consultation to confirm whether nail surgery is right for you. Conservative care is always considered first.
-
The Procedure
Depending on the condition, we’ll remove either a portion of the nail (partial nail avulsion) or the entire nail (total nail avulsion). A chemical (phenol) may be applied to prevent regrowth of the problematic section.
-
Aftercare & Recovery
You’ll be provided with full post-op instructions, dressings, and follow-up appointments. Most people can walk out of the clinic and resume light activities the same day.
The Procedure
There are two main types of nail surgery:
-
Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA): Removal of the side(s) of the nail causing the issue, while preserving the central portion. This is the most commonly performed nail procedure and allows the majority of the nail to remain intact.
-
Total Nail Avulsion (TNA): Complete removal of the nail, often indicated when the entire nail is damaged or deformed.
To prevent regrowth of the problematic portion of the nail, a chemical agent called phenol is usually applied to the exposed nail bed. This minimises the chance of the nail growing back abnormally.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, ensuring a pain-free experience. Most treatments take less than an hour, and patients are typically able to walk out of the clinic immediately after, with minimal downtime.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort postoperatively, with full healing typically taking 4–8 weeks, depending on the procedure and individual health factors. The risk of recurrence is significantly reduced following surgical treatment, and many patients report a substantial improvement in quality of life.

Verruca/Wart Treatment
At our clinic, We offer advanced treatments for verruca /warts using Verrutop and Verruca Needling. Our professional team prioritizes your well-being, providing effective solutions for clear and healthy skin.
Verruca: It is caused by virus infection of the outer layer of the skin called human papilloma virus (HPV). It can be on the plantar surface of your feet or your toes might be asymptomatic or uncomfortable if they are on weight- bearing surfaces. Sometimes, verruca can be resolved without treatment, or by using over the counter medicine, however sometimes the treatment might be unsuccessful. Some verruca can be very stubborn they might need stronger medication which can be provided by podiatrist.
Verrutop
Verrutop is a treatment designed for verruca, which are also known as plantar warts. It's a topical solution based on a combination of organic acids, copper and zinc salts, and nitric acid. It works by causing the wart tissue to mummify and desiccate, disrupting viral replication and leading to cell death.
Important Considerations:
Verrutop should only be used by qualified medical professionals.
It's typically used for smaller, raised verruca/warts on the top of the foot or toes.
It's not suitable for large or long-standing verrucae.
Most individuals require 3-6 treatments, spaced 1-2 weeks apart.
Verrutop is not a guaranteed solution, with success rates typically between 80-90%.
Verrutop is generally considered to be effective and causes minimal pain during application, though some patients might experience mild discomfort or a slight burning sensation when it's applied.
Is it safe?
Verrutop is considered safe when applied by a healthcare professional, but like any treatment, it can cause side effects like redness, swelling, or irritation of the surrounding skin. It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
Verruca Needling
There is not definite cure for verruca, verruca needling is a treatment options that have been used for stuborn verruca, it has a higher success rate than other verruca treatments
Verruca needling involves the use of local anaesthesia to numb the area surrounding the verruca or ankle block to numb the area below your ankle. Once the area is fully numbed, the site is punctured multiple times with a sterile needle. This process helps introduce the virus to a deeper layer of the skin, which may stimulate your immune response and your body’s white blood cells to attack the virus.
After the procedure, a sterile dressing will be applied to the treatment area. You may experience some pain, soreness, or bruising for a few days following the procedure.
Before Your Appointment
It is important to eat something prior to your appointment to reduce the risk of feeling faint during the administration of local anaesthesia.
After the procedure
After the anaesthetic wears off, you may take pain relief such as paracetamol if needed. Do not take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, as they may interfere with the desired immune response.
-
Rest your foot for the first few hours to prevent bleeding
-
Most patients can return to work the day after the procedure.
-
Keep the dressing clean and dry until your follow-up appointment (typically 7 days post-procedure).
-
Avoid long-distance walking or running or over activities during the first week of recovery.
-
If you have a condition that affects your immune system, the effectiveness of the treatment may be reduced.

I attended my first ever podiatry appointment with Avan. She is skilled, compassionate and professional. She talked me through the process and ensured I was comfortable. Avan helped identify causes and gave advice going further. I did not expect the results to turn out so good. She has helped ease pain and has made me genuinely happy and confident with my feet.
