From routine nail maintenance to complex ingrown toenail surgery — professional, clinical treatment for all common foot conditions.
Regular professional nail care is essential for maintaining healthy feet, particularly for those who find it difficult to reach their feet, have thickened or difficult nails, or have underlying health conditions such as diabetes.
A standard nail and skin care appointment covers:
Ingrown toenails occur when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. Amanda offers both conservative management and surgical treatment depending on severity.
Nail surgery (partial nail avulsion) is a minor, in-clinic procedure carried out under local anaesthetic. A section of the nail — or the entire nail in severe cases — is removed, and phenol is applied to the nail matrix to prevent regrowth of the problematic portion. The procedure is highly effective with a very low recurrence rate.
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop in response to pressure or friction. While they are the body's protective response, they can become painful and uncomfortable if left untreated.
Amanda removes corns and calluses painlessly using a sterile scalpel in a technique called debridement. She will also advise on the underlying cause — whether footwear, foot posture, or gait — to reduce recurrence.
Cracked heels (fissures) are also treated within the standard appointment, with advice on ongoing moisturisation and prevention.
Fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) causes nails to become discoloured, thickened, and brittle. It is notoriously difficult to treat with topical products alone, as the nail acts as a physical barrier to medication.
Amanda is trained in the Lacuna method — a highly effective treatment that uses a fine burr to create tiny micro-channels through the nail, allowing antifungal medication to reach the nail bed directly. This dramatically improves treatment penetration and outcomes compared to standard topical therapy.
Lacuna treatment pricing is confirmed at consultation and depends on the number of nails affected.
Verrucas (plantar warts) are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They appear on the soles of the feet and can be painful, particularly when standing or walking. While many resolve on their own over time, persistent or painful verrucas benefit from professional treatment.
Amanda offers verruca assessment and treatment including debridement and application of treatment agents. She will advise on the most appropriate approach based on the size, location, and duration of the verruca.
