Transparency & notes

Practice experience

At the Nagelneu Laser specialist practice in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, more than 10,000 treatments in the field of laser and nail surgery have been performed so far. The CO₂ laser treatment of the ingrown toenail described here is one of the practice's areas of focus and is carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia.

Individual medical assessment

Before every treatment there is a personal medical examination, a discussion of the findings and comprehensive information on benefits, risks, alternatives and costs. The content of this website serves general information only and does not replace personal advice, examination or diagnosis.

Results & individual factors

The course of healing, pain perception, ability to bear weight after the procedure and the risk of renewed ingrowth are influenced by numerous factors (e.g. anatomy, pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or circulatory disorders, footwear, sporting activity, nail care, adherence to aftercare). A blanket prognosis of success is therefore not possible.

Use of artificial intelligence (AI)

In line with the transparency obligations of the EU AI Regulation (Art. 50 AI Act), we disclose where artificial intelligence is used on this website:

• Photo check: our digital initial assessment by photo is generated by an AI system. There you interact with an artificial intelligence; the result is purely an aid to orientation and not a medical diagnosis.
• Symbolic images: some illustrations on this website (e.g. depictions of the laser pen or the laser treatment) are AI-generated symbolic images and are labelled accordingly directly on the image. Photos of the practice rooms, the team and treatment results are genuine photographs.
• Texts: the medical content of this website is created, reviewed and is the responsibility of the practice. Where AI tools are used in a supporting role, the content is always checked by the practice.

Reviews & patient voices

Patient reviews are deliberately not published in excerpts on this website. You will find current, verified reviews on the practice's public profiles at Jameda and Doctolib.
