The Procedure: Phenol Matrixectomy
Phenol matrixectomy is the gold-standard treatment for persistent ingrown toenails. The procedure takes approximately one hour and is performed under local anaesthetic in the clinic.
Consultation & Assessment (10 min) — Examination of the ingrown toenail, medical history review, confirmation surgery is appropriate.Local Anaesthetic (5–10 min) — A local anaesthetic completely numbs your toe. You feel a brief sting for a few seconds, then nothing.Nail Section Removal (10–15 min) — The ingrown section is carefully removed. You may feel pressure but no pain.Phenol Application (5 min) — Phenol is applied to the nail matrix to permanently prevent the problematic edge from regrowing.Dressing & Aftercare (10 min) — Sterile dressing applied. Aftercare instructions and two follow-up appointments booked.
Clinical studies show phenol matrixectomy achieves success rates of around 90–95% when proper technique and aftercare are followed.
