Where do we send your plan?

Preliminary check only — suitability confirmed by Dr. Sarat Anandh at consultation.

Sound familiar?

Nails you’d rather hide

Discoloured or crumbly nails

Fungal changes that polish can cover but never cure.

Pain with every step

Ingrown nails that flare again and again.

Years of failed remedies

Paints and powders rarely reach where the problem actually lives.

If this sounds familiar, it isn’t a failure of effort. Most skin, hair and body concerns are medical — and they respond to the right medical treatment.
About the treatment

What it is, honestly

Partial nail avulsions with matrix treatment for recurrent ingrown toenails, biopsy of pigmented streaks, and definitive care for damaged nails.

Walk-in-walk-out relief for a problem that’s been ruining your shoes and your sleep.

Ingrown-nail cureMatrix treatmentSame-day relief
Who it suits — Brightening and antioxidant support on the infusion side; anything that needs removing, repairing or biopsying on the surgical side.
Your journey

What to expect

01

Medical review

A short screen (or full surgical consult) confirms suitability and plans the procedure.

02

Sterile procedure

Pharmacy-grade infusions or LA-based surgery in a sterile clinic setting.

03

Aftercare & histology

Clear aftercare, sutures out on time, and biopsy reporting whenever indicated.

The technology

How Nail Procedures works

Dermatological nail procedures treat ingrown nails, nail infections, tumours and deformities — including nail avulsion and matrixectomy under local anaesthesia — restoring comfort and healthy nail growth.

Ingrown nail correction

Removes the offending nail edge and can treat the matrix to prevent recurrence.

Infection & deformity

Addresses fungal, bacterial and structural nail problems.

Local anaesthesia

Comfortable, precise, in-clinic treatment.

Biopsy when needed

Nail-unit tumours can be sampled for diagnosis.

Evidence-based summary of how this treatment works. Your individual plan is discussed at consultation.

The science

The science behind Nail Procedures

01

Through the plate

Laser energy penetrates the nail plate to the bed — where the fungus actually lives.

02

Fungal load collapses

Heat disrupts fungal cells that creams and paints never reach.

03

Healthy regrowth

Clear nail grows out from the base over the following months.

What you can expect

Results, honestly timed

01

First weeks

Clear growth appears at the nail base.

02

Months 2–4

Healthy nail steadily replaces the damaged plate.

03

Full regrowth

Nails you stop hiding — maintained with simple hygiene.

Timelines are typical, not promised — your skin, your plan and your review schedule decide the pace. We track progress with photographs at every stage.

Why ours is different

Our doctor-led difference — not the usual machine

What it is

No machine works without judgement. Every protocol here is chosen, parameterised and reviewed by Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL — using pharma-grade products and sterile, evidence-based technique.

Why it matters to you

That’s the difference between a procedure and a plan — Ethics. Quality. Results.

Doctor-set, always

Parameters are personalised at every session — the same machine in different hands gives different results. Ours are the doctor’s.

Before & after your session

Simple prep, simple care

Before your session

Come with clean skin — no makeup, retinoids paused as advised.
Avoid heavy sun exposure for a week prior.
Tell us about new medicines, peels or treatments elsewhere.

After your session

Expect mild warmth or pinkness for a few hours — it settles on its own.
Sunscreen is non-negotiable; we’ll give you the exact routine.
Follow the simple aftercare card — and message us anytime, we actually reply.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will the ingrown nail come back?

Not when the offending matrix edge is treated — that’s the definitive version of this procedure.

How painful is it afterwards?

A tender day or two, easily managed; most walk comfortably immediately.

How long until nails look normal?

Nails grow slowly — expect visible improvement over months as the healthy nail replaces the old.

Do I still need medicines?

Sometimes — laser and medical therapy work best combined; the doctor decides after examining you.

Who performs the treatment?

Every plan is set by Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL, and procedures are performed under his direct supervision — never handed off to a counter.

How do I know the price?

Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll share your exact, itemised quote in a moment. Session packages are available for many treatments.

Is it safe for Indian skin?

Yes. Parameters are chosen specifically for melanin-rich skin — that’s the doctor’s job, and it matters more than any machine name.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Often — many concerns respond best to a planned combination. We suggest one only when it genuinely adds benefit.

What if this isn’t suitable for me?

We’ll tell you honestly at the consult and point you to what will actually help — even if it’s simpler and cheaper.

Details, suitability and pricing are confirmed at consultation with Dr. Sarat Anandh, MD DVL. Individual results vary.

Investment

An investment in yourself, priced honestly

Every plan is personalised after the doctor examines you, so we don’t publish one-size-fits-all rates. Message us and we’ll share the exact pricing for Nail Procedures in a moment — itemised, honest, no pressure and no hidden costs.
