Ingrown nail: What I do is remove it under local and remove part of the matrix which is a very quick procedure and heals quite quickly in most cases. Matrix can be removed either by acid or surgically

Ingrown toenail: There are factors that can cause variability in your treatment. These factors can be the differences between use of certain chemicals or laser or other medical instruments to perform this procedure. After local anesthesia a toenail procedure can take approximately 10 minutes to perform. Healing time can vary depending upon the patient's health status.
