Nail surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic so you will be awake. Once the toe is completely numbed the offending piece of nail is removed and a chemical called phenol is applied to prevent regrowth. The toe is dressed and written advice and a dressing pack is provided as well as the date of your next appointment. The anaesthetic will wear off after around an hour and a half. 

LCN Toe Nail Reconstruction (aka Wilde-Pedique) is a highly effective toenail correction system, comprising an extremely elastic UV gel, which adapts to the movements of the toe and the forces exerted on it. 

 

It is an ideal solution for men and women who are looking for a cosmetically pleasing look and its unique adhesive properties mean that good results can even be achieved even on callus layers of skin- very suitable where a toenail is missing or damaged or in the case where a nail has surgically been removed and there is an unsightly regrowth. 

 

Wilde-Pedique is odourless and will not discolour. It causes no damage to the natural nails, and no moisture can penetrate so if it’s used to cover fungus, it will prevent the fungus spreading further. It can be treated as a normal nail- filed, cut, and polished. Polish can be removed in the normal way without any damage to the nail. It’s easy to maintain, just treat it as you would your other nails! Wilde-Pedique is effective on scaly nail surfaces, for correcting ridges and deformations, for hiding discolouration (in the case of fungal nails) and for protecting growing toe nails. It does need refilling every 4/6 weeks until the nail is grown fully.
