What is a medical pedicure?

A medical pedicure is a specialised treatment performed by our experienced professionals. It includes an assessment of the feet and nails, a deep cleanse, and the removal of dead skin cells, calluses, and rough patches. It also includes the treatment of minor conditions and nail cutting and filing using safe, sterile techniques. The treatment concludes with personalised advice tailored to each client's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Medical Pedicure

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

Traditional pedicures mainly focus on aesthetics. In contrast, medical pedicures treat nail and skin conditions on the feet with technical and clinical rigour, aiming to promote foot health and functionality rather than just improving the appearance of the feet.

Is a medical pedicure a painful treatment?

In most cases, treatment is comfortable. While some procedures may cause slight discomfort, they are performed with great care and expertise to ensure your comfort.

How long does a medical pedicure session take?

Usually, it takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the condition of the feet and the extent of the required treatment. More complex cases may take longer or require an additional session.

I have diabetes and poor circulation— can I undergo this treatment?

Yes, but it is essential that you inform us of your medical history in advance. If you have a condition that puts your feet at risk, such as diabetes, compromised circulation or neuropathy, more rigorous monitoring will be required, which may necessitate additional care. Specialised podiatry is crucial in such cases.

How frequently should I attend sessions?

It depends on the condition of your feet and nails, any changes present, and your lifestyle factors such as your profession, footwear and sports activities. For maintenance, 4–6 weeks is generally appropriate, whereas for treating conditions, 3–4 weeks may be more suitable. The initial assessment will help determine the most suitable frequency.

What precautions should I take after the session?

Some common precautions you should take include:

keeping your feet clean and dry;
wearing natural fibre socks and appropriate footwear;
moisturising your feet regularly;
avoiding walking barefoot in damp public areas;
cutting your nails straight across;
not using harsh nail polish removers.
