An ingrown toenail can be corrected without surgery using several methods: tamponade (a soft barrier under the nail edge), a B/S brace, or the Podofix orthonyxia brace for stubborn, recurrent cases. We choose the method by the stage and shape of the nail; CO2 laser is available for inflamed tissue. Contraindications apply.
The specialist assesses the stage of ingrowth and selects tamponade, a brace or Podofix, treating inflammation if present and planning follow-up.
Mild cases respond to tamponade and correct nail-cutting technique; recurrent or curved nails do better with a brace (B/S or Podofix) that gently lifts the edges over weeks. Inflamed granulation tissue can be treated with CO2 laser.
Podofix is one brace option; for milder cases tamponade or a B/S brace may be enough — we match the method to the nail.
Usually not — most cases are corrected non-surgically; surgery is a last resort.
The corrections are low-pain and need no anaesthesia.
Pressure pain often eases quickly; full correction with a brace takes weeks to months.
Book an ingrown-nail consultation — we'll choose the right non-surgical correction for you.

Compared to surgical options, non-surgical methods like tamponade and braces (B/S or Podofix) offer a less invasive approach with lower pain levels and quicker recovery times. Surgery is typically reserved for severe cases where other methods have failed.
At Paramed in Baku, we provide a full range of ingrown toenail correction options, including tamponade, B/S braces, and Podofix. Our experienced specialists ensure that the method is tailored to your specific needs, and we utilize advanced technology like CO2 laser for any inflamed tissue.
