Treatment of pincer nail deformity with 1064‐nm Nd:YAG laser

Abstract: Pincer nail (PN) is a nail disorder that cannot resolve spontaneously and sometimes necessitates surgical intervention. The etiological factors and gold standard treatment for the PN are still uncertain. We present a 24‐year‐old woman suffering from the PN and were treated with 1064‐nm long‐pulsed Nd:YAG laser. There were PN deformities in the left and right thumbnails. The left one was treated with four sessions of 1064‐nm. Nd:YAG laser.

“…Alternatively, laser is a treatment method with less reported side effects and is easy to apply compared with drug treatment (Ortiz et al, 2014;Galvan Garcia, 2014). Therefore, the study infers that laser treatment was combined with medication to increase treatment efficacy (Daye & Durmaz, 2021). The use of resin gel treatment (χ 2 =12.171, p<0.001) to improve ingrown and pincer toenails was relatively higher for women (20.7%) compared with men (8.1%).…”

“…Nevertheless, many hospitals continue to reject this system. Thus, patients are burdened with invasive treatment due to cosmetic problems, and satisfaction with treatments may decrease if they do not feel an intuitive effect (Daye & Durmaz, 2021). The need for this system can increase profits for hospitals if they practice various treatment options.…”

“…e most frequent conservative treatment is nail cutting. [1] A variety of less invasive procedures and treatments have been used. [2][3][4][5][6] We aimed to propose a unique minimally invasive way for altering the curve of PNs to ease pressure and discomfort on nail gutter and its bed.…”
