Medical-grade nail reconstruction where clinically appropriate.
An option for your nail
Considering Nail Reconstruction
A damaged or changed toenail can affect how you feel about your feet. Nail reconstruction may offer a way to improve its appearance where clinically appropriate. Your appointment begins with an assessment so your podiatrist can discuss whether reconstruction is suitable and what you can reasonably expect.
Nail Assessment and Reconstruction
Your appointment starts with an assessment so the podiatrist can recommend an appropriate plan. Nail reconstruction is offered where clinically suitable.
Treatments are carried out in a clean clinical environment using appropriate infection-control procedures, including single-use equipment and properly sterilised reusable instruments where applicable.
Understanding your needs
Your Nail Assessment
Tell us how your nail has changed, how long the concern has been present and whether you have already tried any treatment. Your podiatrist will consider the nail, surrounding skin and relevant health history before recommending the next step.
You can ask questions about the proposed reconstruction, the product used and the likely appearance before deciding whether to proceed.
Between appointments
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
If reconstruction is suitable, your podiatrist will explain how to care for the nail afterwards. Ask whether maintenance or a review appointment may be needed and how your usual footwear, work or activities could affect it.
Follow the individual aftercare advice you receive and contact the clinic if you have concerns or are unsure about the next step.
