Ingrown Toenail Correction Treatment | Non-surgical Correction Without Removing the Nail | Obliv Clinic Seoul Origin Branch
Even without removing the toenailthe pain goes away
Is your toenail digging into the skin and causing discomfort when you walk? Removing the toenail may provide temporary relief, but as it grows back, it may become even more curved, and if fundamental treatment is not carried outthe same problem may recur.
Obliv offers corrective treatment that straightens the nail without pulling it out.

Key benefits of ingrown toenail treatment
(01)
Treatment calculated based on the curvature stage of an ingrown toenail
When viewing the nail from the front, we checked the degree of 'curling' of the curve connecting both ends.
Depending on this curvature, we take a different treatment approach.
(02)
Class I medical device for clinics and hospitals
Podologe is a proven medical device designed and developed based on advice from Oblive's chief director,
and used by many clinics and hospitals.
