Permanent Removal of In-grown Nail Portion (Most Popular)
After the area is numbed up with local anesthetic, the ingrown nail border is removed, and a chemical agent is used to destroy the nail root so it doesn’t come back. The success rate is very high for this in office procedure.
Temporary Removal
