After a full year of topical antifungal nail lacquers with no improvement, it was time to consider another option.
In this case, we performed a minor nail surgery to remove the affected toenail

For some patients with persistent fungal nail infections (onychomycosis), the infection can sit deep within the nail plate and nail bed, making it very difficult for lacquers alone to pe*****te effectively!!

By removing the infected nail, we reduce the fungal load immediately and we can then treat the exposed nail bed and surrounding skin with a topical antifungal spray, alongside a short course of oral antifungal medication where appropriate

This combined approach gives the new, healthy nail the best possible chance to grow back clear🙌🏼

Fungal nails can be stubborn, and treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all!!

If you’ve been self-treating for months without success, it may be time for a professional assessment to explore all your options safely and effectively

As always, individual treatment plans are tailored following a full consultation and medical history🥰

Verrucas can be unsightly, uncomfortable and at times super painful, they also can leave people feeling self-conscious about showing their feet 😢

This photo shows a foot immediately after Falknor’s Verruca Needling, one of my most popular treatments at the moment!! This procedure works by carefully puncturing the verruca under local anaesthetic, stimulating your body’s own immune response to recognise and fight the virus !!

Unlike many topical treatments that only target the surface, needling aims to treat the root cause from within 💪🏼

It’s a simple, highly effective option for stubborn verrucas that haven’t responded to over-the-counter remedies

Stay tuned to see the transformation 👣✨

Swipe to see what actually happens during nail surgery 👉

✔️ Painful ingrown nail
✔️ Problem nail removed
✔️ Toe dressed and ready to heal

This procedure helps stop repeated infections and pain associated with the ingrown toenail, especially when conservative treatment hasn’t worked!

Nail surgery is performed under local anaesthetic and is actually more common than you would think…

Get that toenail sorted for good 🙌🏼

Reel of toenail being removed coming tomorrow, bet you all can’t wait 😜

Some random photos from the last week in December 🫶🏼

It consisted of being flown to Jersey by my husband and spending Christmas away together, as well as lots of horsey time 🐴 and eating lots of gorgeous food 🥰

Reflecting on 2025 and I am so grateful for all the love and support you have all given me over the last year and I cannot wait to see what 2026 brings ❤️

Wishing everyone a very happy new year, and sending lots of love!

Choose kindness always 🤍

People told me not to quit my full-time job in my 20s… but I chose to trust myself and I am so pleased I did 🥹

From life in my NHS scrubs to moments in Dubai, the Maldives, and everywhere in between 🫶🏼

Don’t get me wrong, there has been highs and lows but overall I wouldn’t change it for the world and sometimes taking the risk is what leads you to where you’re meant to be 🌍🥰

Travelling far and wide to come and join me 🫶🏼 New skills officially unlocked 🧠✨ and both students celebrated with a cheeky Gail’s on their lunch break because why not when in Leamington 🤷🏽‍♀️ after a gorgeous day I am now officially on the count down because I’m off on holiday tomorrow afternoon…. but first a cheeky morning in the Leamington clinic 🥰🙌🏼❤️
