Nail Surgery
Nail Surgery involves the removal of a small portion of nail – did you know that 20% of all Podiatry appointments are made because of an ingrown toenail? Nail surgery offers a permanent solution to ingrown nails which pose a great risk of pain and infection. Your Podiatrist will need to access as to whether this treatment is suitable for you following your initial assessment.
Verrucae Treatment
Falknor’s needling technique is an innovative and effective procedure for eradicating verrucae. During this procedure the affected area will be numbed using local anaesthetic. The verrucae lesion is then carefully needled to implant the virus into the dermal layer of the skin so that the body’s immune system can identify and destroy the virus. Your Podiatrist will need to access as to whether this treatment is suitable for you following your initial assessment.
Verrutop
Verrutop is a new verrucae treatment which is a topical solution based on a unique combination of three organic acids. 90% of patients were cured after a maximum of 6 treatment sessions. Verrutop in general is a painless treatment.
It is worth noting that no single treatment for verruca and warts is 100% effective, and there is no guarantee that the verruca will not return.
Lacuna Method
The Lacuna Method is a method for treating fungal nail infections. It involves the drilling of micro holes into the nail plate so anti-fungal preparations applied can penetrate the nail bed- where the active portion of the infection lies.
How does it work?
The most active portion of the infection actually lies on the nail bed, not the nail plate. Through drilling micro-holes in the nail plate, this acts as a tunnel for antifungal solutions to seep through to the nail bed. The fungal infection is prevented from spreading further and allows a new healthy nail to grow out.
As with any fungal nail treatment there is no quick fix, the infection only clears as fast as the nail grows, and this can take up to 18 months.
Mole Checking Service
As a recognised Map My Mole provider, we can access UK consultant dermatologists for an opinion on your mole or skin lesion within 48 hours.
If a consultant thinks the mole or lesion is of concern, they will ask you to see a dermatologist.
Zoe and the receptionist were both very welcoming which made my first time visit a very pleasant experience. The clinic is convenient for parking, clean and tidy and I felt that Zoe has done a great job not only putting me at ease but looking after my feet as well. Many thanks.
Efficient booking experience and Zoe was friendly and very thorough. I felt I was in really good hands and will use her again. A true asset to West Parley.
I have had very good experiences and treatment over the last 2years, Zoe is a caring and professional podiatrist who I would thoroughly recommend. The clinic is pristine and welcoming, always easy to park or the bus stop is close by.
I had one session with Natalie as I was suffering extreme pain with my left foot which was preventing me walking and affecting a energetic lifestyle. She was very helpful and set up a referral to my Doctors for an x-ray to determine the cause of the problem. This eventually lead to various NHS departments and finally to a foot consultant who advised wearing rocker sole shoes. I can now walk again without pain, thanks to my visit to Natalie at Young:s foot clinic.
Thoroughly enjoy sitting letting Zoe do her work, always does an excellent job
I am always happy and satisfied with the service I receive at Young's. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the treatment is always carried out with competence and professionalism. Thank you.
Lovely clinic, very friendly and professional staff. Would highly recommend Youngs Foot Clinic.
My appointment was way back on 8th April 2024 - today's 6th August 2024 - as far as I can remember all was ok.
Zoe has been looking after my mum’s feet for the past year. She is totally professional, warm and friendly and her skills are fantastic! Highly recommend her services. Thank you Zoe x
Zoe is very professional and accommodating. The clinic is bright, airy and spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend 😊
I was impressed from the outset when I messaged on a Saturday at 6pm for an appointment and had a reply almost immediately. So pleased I took my son to Young’s Foot Clinic with ingrown toe nails that another local podiatrist had failed to fix. Zoe was amazing. Very welcoming, very knowledgeable and very professional. I felt that the care given to my son was thorough and personal. A couple of days after his appointment my son said, “my toes haven’t felt this good in so long”! I would highly recommend this lovely practice.
I went to see Zoe with a v tender big toe, she was thorough, patient and very gentle. Would highly recommend.
Visited Zoe as my son had a problem with an ingrown toe nail. From the very beginning nothing was too much trouble. My son was very anxious but Zoe explained everything that was going to happen and put him completely at ease. I would highly recommend with no hesitation.
Brilliant, Zoe spotted a small diabetic ulcer I was unaware of and promptly referred me to the hospital foot clinic for treatment. I cannot thank her enough and will continue to let her look after my health. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Can't recommend Zoe enough. I have a problem toenail and since I've been coming to Zoe its virtually gone. Very knowledgeable and I wouldn't go anywhere else now.
I visited Young’s foot clinic today for the first time as I have been having a problem for quite awhile with an in growing toenail. Zoe did a first class job of sorting my problem out, I had immediate relief and my feet felt great afterwards. The clinic premises are excellent. I will certainly visit again. I fully recommend it, thanks very much Zoe.
Very nice and clean, very professional, very friendly and made me feel at ease. Explained the procedure and different options, would highly recommend. Thanks zoe x
Visited Youngs foot clinic for the first time today. Had a problem with a ingrown toe nail for quite a while which was causing extreme pain to even walk. Zoe went out of her way to help right from the first communication. I was a little apprehensive but Zoe was fantastic and removed the pieces of nail causing the problem with very little discomfort. The relief was instant and I was left completely pain free. Fantastic service, very knowledgeable and would highly recommend. Thank you
