Foot Care Education – HK

Ingrown toenails are extremely common in Hong Kong due to tight footwear, aging nails, repeated pressure on the toes, and lifestyle factors. Many people delay treatment because they want to avoid surgery or repeated painful trimming.

Pōdex offers a non-surgical ingrown toenail lifting system designed to gently correct curved and ingrown-prone nails. The transparent 3-step gel system works by gradually lifting the nail edge, reducing pressure and discomfort while allowing the nail to grow more naturally over time.

This approach is suitable for people experiencing recurring ingrown toenails, curved toenails, or nail pressure discomfort, and is increasingly used as an alternative to invasive procedures.

Painful nail conditions can affect people of all ages and are often caused by:

• Ingrown toenails where the nail edge presses into the surrounding skin

• Curved or involuted nails that create constant pressure on the nail bed

• Nail pain caused by tight footwear, repetitive pressure, or improper trimming

• Thickened or aging nails that become harder to manage over time

These conditions may worsen if left untreated and often lead people to seek alternatives to surgical procedures.
