An ingrown toenail is a medical condition in which the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin and soft tissue, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infection. This condition occurs when the nail grows improperly—usually curving into the fold between the nail and the skin instead of growing straight upwards. It can be caused by excessive pressure on the toenail (e.g., tight shoes), improper nail trimming (such as cutting too deep or at an angle), injury to the nail area, or structural issues of the foot.

When Surgery Is Necessary – WISEFEET’s Permanent Solution
At WISEFEET, we provide a one-time solution to prevent the ingrown toenail from recurring. In 99.7% of thousands of patients we’ve treated surgically, the problem has not returned! We even offer a guarantee on the procedure.
The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia (which is completely painless!) in a calm and stress-free clinic environment.
After removing the problematic section of the nail, we prevent recurrence by permanently sterilizing the nail root—only in the affected area.
Recovery is quick, and patients can return to full activity on the same day
