Treatment of pincer nail deformity with 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser.

Pincer nail (PN) is a nail disorder that cannot resolve spontaneously and sometimes necessitates surgical intervention. The etiological factors and gold standard treatment for the PN are still uncertain. We present a 24-year-old woman suffering from the PN and were treated with 1064-nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser. There were PN deformities in the left and right thumbnails. The left one was treated with four sessions of 1064-nm. Nd:YAG laser.
