How Our Ingrown Nail Treatments Work in Vienna
At Dermestetics, we take a comprehensive approach to treating ingrown nails. During your first visit, we perform a thorough evaluation of your nails and discuss your medical history. This allows us to determine the severity of your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment. We use modern techniques, such as:
- Conservative Treatments: For mild cases, conservative methods such as proper nail trimming, use of antibiotics, and lifestyle adjustments may be suggested.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: For more severe or chronic cases, we may perform a minor surgical procedure to remove the ingrown part of the nail and promote proper growth.
- Laser Therapy: In certain cases, laser treatment can be used to target the root cause of the ingrown nail, reducing the risk of recurrence.
