He clarifies whether laser treatment is an option for you and tells you the expected costs. 2. 02 ### Documents and date You complete the medical history form and payment online in advance. We arrange the surgery date in Berlin with you, within 24 hours. 3. 03 ### One day in Berlin Dr. Homssi examines your toe, discusses everything with you and treats you as an outpatient under local anaesthetic. You can then set off home. 4. 04 ### Aftercare at home You care for the wound following our instructions and send us photos of the wound online on day 8. A further appointment in Berlin is not normally necessary. ## Who laser surgery within 24 hours is for - **Long journey:** You live outside Berlin and would like to come only once. - **Severe symptoms:** Your toe hurts so much that you do not want to wait long for an appointment. - **Little time:** Work or family only allow for one appointment. In the video consultation, Dr. Homssi clarifies whether laser treatment is an option for you. He decides whether to operate after examining you at the practice. If another approach suits you better, we will tell you openly before you travel. ## What happens in the video consultation You book an appointment online and pay for the video consultation (€46.93) directly when booking; private health insurers usually reimburse it on presentation of the invoice. You receive the access details by email. You need a smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera. ### How to prepare - Make sure there is good light so that Dr. Homssi can see your toe clearly. - Have previous findings and doctors' letters to hand, for example after earlier surgery on the nail. - Note down your medication, especially blood thinners, and any pre-existing conditions such as diabetes. - Think about which periods would suit you for a trip to Berlin. If the consultation shows that another approach makes more sense, such as a nail brace from a podiatrist near you, we will tell you openly. This saves you an unnecessary journey. The method ## Laser treatment of ingrown toenails After the local anaesthetic, Dr. Homssi removes the ingrown nail edge as a narrow strip and uses a CO2 laser to precisely ablate the corresponding section of the growth zone. The aim is that the nail no longer grows back at this point. No stitches are needed. - ✦ ### Local anaesthetic You are awake and your toe is numbed. A general anaesthetic is not necessary. - ⏱ ### About 15 to 25 minutes This is how long the procedure takes per toe; including the pre-operative briefing and dressing, around 45 to 60 minutes. - ✚ ### No stitches No stitches to remove, the wound is left open to heal. This makes aftercare at home easier. - ◈ ### Home the same day You can leave the practice after the procedure. For the journey home, we recommend the train, a taxi or a companion who drives. ![Room for laser treatment of ingrown toenails at Dr. Homssi's practice in Berlin, with operating table and surgical lamp](https://www.drhomssi.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Praxis/Praxis-Dr-Homssi-OP1.jpg?width=800&height=450&name=Praxis-Dr-Homssi-OP1.jpg) ## Getting here and your stay **Address:** Praxis Dr. Univ.-PD Amro Homssi, Greifswalder Str. 137-138, 10409 Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, 3rd floor with lift. - **By train:** From Berlin Hauptbahnhof (central station), take the S-Bahn to Alexanderplatz, then tram M4 heading out of the city centre to the stop Greifswalder Str./Ostseestr. right outside the practice. Alternatively, take the Ringbahn (S41, S42) to Greifswalder Straße and walk for about 10 minutes. - **By car:** Free underground parking is available for patients. - **For the journey home:** After the procedure your foot will be bandaged. Bring wide, comfortable shoes and plan your journey home by train if possible, or as a passenger. Whether an overnight stay in Berlin makes sense depends on your findings and your journey home. We discuss this in the video consultation. ## What does the treatment cost? The video consultation costs €46.93. Laser treatment is billed according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ); the price depends on the number of nail corners treated. | Nail corners treated | Guide price under the GOÄ | | --- | --- | | 1 nail corner | around €600 | | 2 nail corners | around €700 | | 3 nail corners | around €800 | | 4 nail corners | around €900 | Local anaesthetic, laser treatment, dressing and follow-up check are included. A written cost estimate tells you the exact amount in advance (prices as of October 2026). For people with statutory health insurance, laser treatment is usually a self-pay service; private insurers often reimburse it, depending on the plan. You cover travel and accommodation yourself. ![Dr. Amro Homssi, specialist in orthopaedics and trauma surgery in Berlin, wearing a navy polo shirt](https://www.drhomssi.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Potraits/drhomssi.jpg?width=800&height=997&name=drhomssi.jpg) Your doctor ## Dr. Univ.-PD Amro Homssi, Specialist in Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery Laser treatment of ingrown toenails is Dr. Homssi's surgical focus.
