Treatment Explained
Nail bed botox in London
Nail psoriasis is a very common condition amongst people who suffer with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
According to the Psoriasis Association, nail psoriasis affects up to half of all people with psoriasis and 80% of those with psoriatic arthritis. The condition can affect fingernails and toenails.
Symptoms of nail psoriasis include pitting, crumbling, thickening and discolouration of the nail, along with a general loss of nail health and shape.
Nail bed botox is an effective, injectable treatment that improves the condition and appearance of the nails by reducing inflammation and allowing sustained healing to take place.
We offer nail bed botox at our London Harley Street and Colindale clinics.
You will experience your treatment at one of our luxurious, award-winning London aesthetic clinics, led by Dr Kaywaan Khan.

treatment benefits
Nail bed Botox is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment designed to support patients struggling with nail psoriasis and related nail changes.
By carefully placing small amounts of Botox around the affected nail area, the treatment helps reduce local inflammation and improve the environment needed for healthier nail growth. This can be particularly beneficial for nails that appear thickened, ridged, brittle, lifted or distorted due to psoriatic changes.
-
Improved nail texture and appearance
Nail bed botox can help improve the textural changes associated with nail psoriasis, including pitting, thickening, crumbling and uneven nail surface.
-
Support for healthier nail growth
By reducing inflammation around the nail bed, the treatment helps create a healthier environment for nail regrowth and gradual improvement in nail quality.

Minimally invasive treatment with no downtime
Nail bed botox is a quick, precise injectable treatment that usually takes around 15 to 30 minutes. There is no downtime, so patients can continue with their normal daily activities after treatment.

Anisa Thabet
I came to Hannah London for nail bed botox after struggling with nail psoriasis for a long time. My nails had become uneven and brittle, and I felt very self-conscious about my hands. The doctor explained the treatment clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout. The injections were quick, and over the following months I noticed the nail texture starting to look healthier and smoother. It made a real difference to my confidence.

I had psoriasis affecting a few of my fingernails, with pitting and thickening that never fully improved with creams. Nail bed botox was suggested after a consultation, and I liked that it was a targeted treatment with no downtime. The treatment itself was manageable and very quick. I started to notice the affected nails looking calmer and healthier as they grew out, and the surface looked much less damaged than before.

The nail psoriasis on my toenails had been bothering me for years, especially because the nails looked thickened and discoloured. I had nail bed botox at Hannah London and was impressed by how carefully everything was done. There was no downtime and I could carry on with my day afterwards. The results were gradual, but as the nails grew, they looked healthier and the discomfort improved too.
The science behind
Nail bed botox
Botox or botulinum toxin injections into the nail bed is an emerging clinical treatment for nail psoriasis.
Botox or botulinum toxin injections work by blocking nerve signals and reducing inflammation in the highly vascular, nerve-dense tissue of the nail bed.
A single injection has been shown to provide sustained relief and healing for up to six months
