What is Medical Pedicure?

A podiatrist performs a medical pedicure, which is significantly different from a regular pedicure.

A medical pedicure removes calluses and thickened tissue on the surface of the foot. A podiatrist recommends medications for fungal infections and long-term care.

Who needs a medical pedicure?

Patients with cracks, warts, calluses, thick, fungal and horny nails on their feet need a pedicure treatment.

What is the difference between a medical pedicure and a regular pedicure?

A regular pedicure is a type of care applied to dry feet, focusing not only on the appearance but also on the overall health of the nails and the skin of the feet.

This method is used so that those with healthy nails can maintain their beauty and health forever.

A medical pedicure is a special treatment that aims to reduce the condition and ultimately treat and improve the nails and skin of the feet.

Medical Pedicure steps

1: First, the foot is examined, if diseases such as warts, calluses, deep cracks on the foot, skin eczema, etc. are seen, they are treated separately with the appropriate method and equipment

2: The feet are completely disinfected and the nails are cut to a standard length.

3: Shaving and cleaning of nails infected with fungi and bacteria, of course without damaging the nail bed.

4: Treatment of dead and thickened cells on the feet such as corns and calluses

5: Cracks on the soles of the feet are shaved until healthy skin tissue is reached and dead parts of the skin are removed.

6: The feet are disinfected and washed again.

7: Therapeutic creams are used to repair and renew the skin and nails, which causes the skin to heal quickly.

8: Use of antifungal drugs, especially for those suffering from this condition.

Note: These regenerating creams are selected according to each person's skin type and condition, and random and wrong choices can cause skin damage and increase skin diseases.

What does the treatment result depend on?

The results of the treatment depend not only on the skill of the podiatrist, but also on the patient's own care. The podiatrist first sees the condition of your feet and then chooses the appropriate treatment method.

With regular pedicures, your feet always remain healthy and the possibility of unhealthy changes is reduced.

For example:

• Use moisturizing creams once a day to repair damaged tissue.

• The patient should not walk barefoot on stone, ceramics or carpet.

• Wear suitable shoes

• Take complementary medicines (vitamins)
