Medical therapeutic lasers are a safe, non-invasive and painless treatment for the reduction of pain, swelling and inflammation. Issues that can be helped with the use of the laser are muscle spasm and pain, arthritis, sprains and strains, back pain, hip pain, knee pain, sciatica, tendonitis, haematoma and oedema, sport injuries and many more.
Laser therapy works by passing electrical energy through an active material or diode, such as a crystal, in a tube.

Toenail Reconstruction
Toenail reconstruction is a cosmetic procedure. Toenail reconstruction is performed by a practitioner using specialist gel/resin that is layered on top of damaged, unsightly or misshapen nails. Each layer is then cured under a UV light. When the desired look is achieved the nail is then shaped and smoothed.
This is not a permanent solution, but it can last between 4-8 weeks.
No matter how your toenail became problematic, maybe through a sport or running injury, fungal problems or if you just have irregular shaped toenails; try out a toenail reconstruction, and experience the confidence boost they give you.
Please note: Patients who have had their entire nail removed permanently (total nail avulsion), can still have nail reconstruction, however it is very unlikely that the nail will last longer than a day as there is no nail for the gel/resin to adhere to.
£45.00 - £120.00

“Finally a professional podiatrist who is competent and efficient too. I had seen an NHS podiatrist who did nothing for me. I was in pain and got anxiety looking at my deformed feet but one visit from a foot ahead and not only has the pain stopped I can wear sandals again because my feet have been treated perfectly.”
