Located in Edmonton, Dérmica offers ingrown toenail removal through our Ingrown Pedicure. We start off by assessing the severity of the ingrown toenail. If there is an active infection that is beyond the point of treatment, you are first referred to your physician to address the infection.
But if the toenail is found to be treatable with the Ingrown pedicure, the technician will prepare the nail by using softening agents. The sides of the nail are then cleared of any debris and buildup. Finally, the nail is trimmed accordingly using specialized tools.
Your technician will ensure that you feel sufficient relief. This process can take anywhere from one hour to an hour and a half depending on how severe it is or if the use of topical anaesthetic is necessary.
Dérmica ensures quality service by providing a complimentary follow up within the first 2 weeks once the swelling has dissipated. If the condition has not resolved. Your technician may include the use of a specialized serum in order to prevent or minimize future occurrences.
Can an ingrown toenail self-heal?
If the problem is caused by improper cutting, the injury to the nail can eventually resolve itself with minor grooming after a period of discomfort.
On the other hand, if the ingrown nail is severe or if its due to genetic factors, then it will always return. However, a person can have surgery to correct the condition, but even still, it can return. Nails are very good at regenerating even if you’ve had surgery.
What can I expect after my Ingrown Pedicure?
The ingrown pedicure provides immediate relief. However, the area will be sensitive and susceptible to infection. If the skin was broken prior to removal or during the process, ensuring that you keep the area clean and dry is very important. Saltwater soaks may help cleanse the area.
If the skin has been broken, the use of Polysporin is recommended.

But never fear! Located in Edmonton, Alberta, our spa offers a fungal nail pedicure to treat nail fungus, The Anti-Fungal.
A nail fungus can be compared to a parasite: Unless you remove one of the ideal conditions, fungus will continue to thrive. Ideal conditions include humidity, darkness, warm temperature, and nutrients (for example, dirt or dead skin cells).
How can I tell if I have nail fungus?
Firstly, it will cause embarrassing odour. If left untreated long enough it starts to mutate. The fungus starts growing roots under the nails which bury themselves in the nail bed causing it to “pump” itself up. This pumping manifests as thick nails.
First Response: What can I do immediately?
Stop sharing socks or shoes.
Stop wearing acrylic/nylon material socks as they are more likely to cause feet to sweat.
Do not wear the same shoes 2 days in a row, especially closed-toed shoes made from material that builds moisture.
Do not wear poor quality shoes. Some shoes are made of plastic and the paint on the shoes is also plastic which causes sweaty feet and bacteria.
Clean and dry feet properly after bathing.
Do not cut nails so short that it breaks the seal.

INGROWN NAILS
An ingrown toenail is caused by an overgrowth of nail along the side of the nail. Consequently, this condition creates pressure which can lead to swelling, a lot of pain, and even infections.
The extra growth can be attributed to factors such as incorrect nail cutting, trauma, or genetics.
