Services
Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Permanent removal of ingrown toenails under local anaesthetic. This procedure addresses painful nail conditions by excising the affected portion and applying chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. Patients benefit from immediate pain relief and reduced recurrence risk, with post-operative care guidance provided for optimal healing and mobility restoration.
Laser Verruca Removal
Advanced YAG laser therapy for viral skin lesions. This non-invasive treatment targets verrucas and warts at their source using precision wavelengths, offering faster healing than traditional methods. Patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities immediately, with multiple sessions sometimes required for complete resolution of persistent cases.
Fungal Nail Therapy
Dual-wavelength laser treatment combined with mechanical nail reduction. This approach effectively targets fungal infections while preserving nail structure. The non-systemic treatment avoids medication side effects, with visible improvement typically observed within 6-12 months as new healthy nail growth occurs.
Custom Orthotics
Biomechanical assessment followed by prescription of tailored shoe inserts. These orthotics correct gait abnormalities, alleviate pressure points, and prevent corn formation. The clinic offers same-day casting and adjustment services, ensuring optimal fit for managing conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive vascular and neurological assessments for diabetes patients. This preventive service includes blood glucose testing, circulation evaluation, and risk stratification to prevent complications. Regular monitoring helps maintain foot health and reduce amputation risks through early intervention strategies.
