Solution
Nail surgery is a good option to offer a permanent solution to a painful problem.
*Please note that nail surgery can only be booked after an initial assessment.
Procedure
Nail surgery is a simple minor procedure. The whole procedure is carried out within an hour.
- On the day of the procedure you can carry on with your normal routine, including eating and drinking and taking any medications (unless you are told not to), but it is important to give yourself some downtime after the procedure, put your feet up and take it easy for the rest of that day.
- To begin, the toe is anesthetized with a local anesthetic applied at the base of the toe. This is the only painful part of the procedure and is no worse than an ordinary injection.
- When the toe is completely numb, an antiseptic solution will be applied to your toe to minimize the chance of infection. The offending nail or piece of the nail will then be removed.
- A chemical solution (phenol) is then applied to stop the nail from regrowing.
- A protective dressing will be applied, and the operation is complete. The whole procedure is over and done within 1 hour (for 1 toe).
- A follow-up appointment will be arranged with you so that the same Podiatrist can assess and re-dress the toe.
- You can then head home and relax for the rest of the day with your feet up.
Payment is now accessible through Klarna.

TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say
We live in Lincoln with family in York who recommended Abby and the services Kin,body and Sole offer. Obviously travelling from Lincoln is not a quick journey, however the service which Abby gives is second to none and both me and my wife have had long standing foot issues resolved. We continue to travel back every 6 weeks or so to have treatments and a bit of TLC for our feet. Absolutely recommend Kin, body and Sole, good value for money and a service worth travelling for.

I had been suffering with an ingrown toenail for about a year, naively thinking it would get better on its own. Spoiler alert, it did not and I was in near constant pain and discomfort. I got in touch with Abby and despite my obvious idiocy in leaving it so long, there was no judgement and at my assessment, it was decided that the only way to sort it out was to permanently remove the offending nail.
This was a bit daunting, but Abby made the whole process as easy and stress free as it could possibly have been. The surgery itself was completely painless and I don’t think my recovery could have been any smoother, thanks to the constant supply of bandages, plasters and good advice.
The relief has been nothing short of incredible and I would highly recommend anyone with foot issues to get in touch.

I came into Kin Body for treatment for an ingrown toenail and had the surgery with Abby. My toe was in pretty bad shape after having the ingrown toenail for a few months.
The experience was faultless and smooth. Abby is a delight, which relieved me of all stress. She took care of me very well, scheduling regular follow-up appointments for as long as it took for my toe to heal.
She was clear with instructions on how to dress my toe and gave me plenty of dressings to use for the duration of my healing process.
I chose Kin Body and Sole after my father’s recommendation. He had verucas on his feet and Abby sorted him out in no time! And now my mother is also going for her sciatica in her leg in recent weeks.
They are wonderful and I highly recommend going in for a visit if you need to.

We went to see Abby to seek advice about my daughters ingrown toe nails late last year. Abby recommend surgery which she did for my daughter on two occasions for her both her big toes. My daughter struggles with anxiety, Abby and Emma were incredibly patient with her and made her feel at ease. They went out of their way to support my daughter and the whole experience was very positive.
The after care that Abby provided was above and beyond anything I would have expected and nothing was too much trouble.
My daughter has had no issues with her toes since the surgery and I cannot thank Abby enough for the service she provided. I highly recommend Kin, Body and Sole!

I’m a Luxembourgish student doing my exchange program in York. I had an ingrown nail and decided to go to Kin body and sole. There I met Abby who is simply one of the most genuine and kindest people I have ever met. She, along with Emma, who is of course just as kind, performed nail surgery on me. I felt so comfortable! Abby explained everything during the whole procedure and constantly made sure that I was fine. They are both very professional and as I already had many experiences with ingrown nail issues, I can truly recommend them because they are without doubt the best. Abby is honestly amazing and I cannot thank her enough for everything! If I could bring them with me to Luxembourg, trust me I would!

My experience at Kin body and Sole couldn’t have been better. Abby made me feel so comfortable throughout the procedure of having nail surgery and I am so pleased with the results. The aftercare was also amazing, making sure I was stocked up with everything I needed for the nail to heal. Couldn’t recommmend it enough.
