Even without removing the toenail
the 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 out
the 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.

If you have these symptoms,
medical attention is needed.
※ Even simple tenderness can progress to an ingrown toenail,
so if the discomfort persists, we recommend early medical consultation.
The toenail is pressing into the flesh, causing pain in the surrounding skin.
Inflammatory reactions such as swelling, redness and oozing occur.
I feel pain when walking or putting on shoes.
The pain is recurring, and the symptoms are getting worse.

Ingrown Toenail FAQ
We discuss your
worries and concerns before the procedure.
What should I do if the Podologe falls off after treatment?
If it falls off within 3 days of application, it can be reapplied, so please contact the hospital before coming in.
What is the difference compared with treatment at a nail salon?
Obliv Clinic treats problematic nails at the root with a systematic programme based on a medical approach. Unlike general nail care, there are clear differences in areas such as hygiene management, treatment plan design, use of MFDS-approved medical devices, and personalised medication prescriptions.
Is it a treatment where the toenail is removed?
No. Obliv’s principle is non-surgical conservative treatment that does not involve removing the nail. We combine corrective devices, medication and lifestyle adjustments to help you recover naturally and safely.
Can I make a claim on my private medical insurance?
Yes, if a disease code is registered after the consultation, you can make a claim for that treatment under your private health insurance. (※ Eligibility may vary depending on the insurer and policy terms.)
Is the pain severe during treatment?
Most treatments are carried out without anaesthesia and are usually almost painless. Even when medical devices are attached, discomfort is usually not significant, and it can be adjusted according to your pain sensitivity, so there is no need to worry. However, if inflammation or granulation tissue is present in the ingrown toenail area, temporary pain may occur in the inflamed area.
How many sessions of treatment do I need?
Depending on the condition of the nail and the degree of deformity, treatment may take at least 3 weeks to more than a year to restore the curvature to the normal range. As the treatment period can vary greatly from person to person, we recommend confirming the exact details through a consultation.
