Onyfix- Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Onyfix – A Conservative, Non-Surgical Option for Ingrown Toenails in Adelaide

Surgery is Often the Best Long-Term Solution — But There’s a Conservative Option Too

At Leading Health Podiatry, we perform permanent ingrown toenail surgery in-house for patients seeking a reliable and lasting solution.
This minor procedure removes the problematic edge of the nail under local anaesthetic, providing excellent long-term results with minimal downtime.

However, we understand that not everyone feels comfortable with surgery. Whether it’s due to anxiety, medical reasons, or simply wanting to try something conservative first — we also offer an alternative option known as the Onyfix nail correction system.

What is Onyfix?

Onyfix is a gentle, non-surgical nail correction treatment designed for curved, involuted, or ingrown toenails. It works by applying a thin composite band across the base of the nail, which is hardened with a special blue light.

As your nail grows, the Onyfix band gradually guides it into a more natural shape, helping to relieve pain and reduce the chance of it growing into the skin.
There’s no cutting, no injections, and no downtime — making it an excellent option for patients who prefer a less invasive approach.

Who is Onyfix Suitable For?

Onyfix may be recommended for patients who:

• Want to avoid or delay nail surgery

• Experience mild to moderate ingrown nails

• Have curved or involuted toenails causing pressure or pain

• Are children, diabetics, or have poor circulation

• Wish to trial a conservative treatment before committing to surgery

For more severe or recurring cases, surgical correction generally provides the most effective and permanent result.
