Nails can become traumatized in a variety of ways. Direct trauma, fungal infection, and metabolic disease are only a few of the conditions that can effect your nails. Until recently, treatment for nail problems has been limited. Treating fungal infections has been advanced with oral medications like Lamisil, but treatment of chronic ingrown nails, or dystrophic nails (nails that don’t grow correctly) are not optimal.
Dr. Sadrieh has created a new approach to what is called Nail Reconstruction. His approach involves an initial assessment of the condition, and a custom pathway and treatment plan that will address the condition providing the patient with the most optimal results available. Patients that suffer from chronic ingrown nails, can now have a permanent solution without down time, or pain. The procedure is aesthetic and the results are impressive.
Nails that have damaged with physical trauma also have options available to them. It is important to assess the nail for a specific treatment plan that is tailored to that particular problem (considering every nail is different). Once a plan has been made by Dr. Sadrieh, you can start the process of reconstructing the nail and grooming it’s growth over the next 6 months.
“Although the process is slow, and often long, it’s worth it. Most patients have been told to live with the nail problem they have, but my philosophy is, if I can do a small procedure and follow up regularly for a long duration of time, we can resolve most of the pathology out there.” Dr. Sadrieh
Contact the office and let them know you are interested in nail reconstruction. If you live far from the office, you may be able to email digital photos of your nails to Dr. Sadrieh for initial evaluation and a go ahead for in person consultation.
