Permanent Toenail Removal in Phoenix
Find permanent, final, relief from painful toenails, with complete surgical removal of your whole toenail

Relief That Lasts
If you’re struggling with painful, recurring ingrown toenails or thick, damaged nails, temporary fixes only go so far. At Direct Podiatry AZ, we provide permanent toenail removal — a simple, in-office procedure designed to give you lasting comfort and confidence.
Unlike our blog guide (which walks you through recovery), this page is focused on your treatment options, cost, and next steps.

Why Consider Permanent Toenail Removal?
Permanent toenail removal, of all of your toenail, may be the right choice if you have:
-
Chronic ingrown toenails that keep coming back
-
Painful or thickened fungal nails that resist other treatments
-
A history of nail trauma or deformity
-
A desire for a permanent solution instead of repeated procedures
Treatment Options at Direct Podiatry AZ
Advanced Laser Permanent Toenail Removal
Our signature method uses laser energy to precisely target the nail root:
-
Gentle and chemical-free
-
Precise destruction of the nail root
-
Faster healing and cleaner results compared to older methods
-
Performed in our calm, office setting
Traditional Chemical Option (When Needed)
In rare or complex cases, we may recommend the traditional chemical matrixectomy. This long-established method uses a chemical to permanently stop nail regrowth. It’s still highly effective, but healing can take longer, with more swelling, drainage, and paincompared to laser.
At your consultation, we’ll determine which option is best for your specific nail condition.
