While a traditional cosmetic pedicure focuses on making your toenails look as good as possible, and gets rid of some dead skin, it ignores real problems and sometimes creates them. Not to mention, your feet are on display in front of all the other customers.
Unlike traditional nail salons, our professionals are trained to examine and treat foot and nail disorders using advanced equipment and tools and the strictest hygiene protocols. A medical pedicure is often performed in the private setting of a medical clinic.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN A MEDICAL PEDICURE?
The medi-pedi treatment is performed by one of our experienced foot care specialists . After an evaluation on your feet, we dedicate the first half of the treatment to cleaning the feet and toenails, trimming and polishing nails, and if necessary, removing calluses, corns and ingrown nails. In the second half, one of our technicians will finish the cleaning of your feet and remove any lingering dead skin, as well as hydrating the feet to prevent your feet from becoming dried out and cracked. The process takes about 35 minutes to 1 hr depending on the condition of the feet and the treatment you choose.
The medi-pedi treatment includes:
- A full assessment and consultation on the condition of feet, skin and toenails
- Extensive cleaning and cleansing
- Sanding, buffing and shaping of the nails to remove dead cells and achieve maximum comfort
- Removal of dead skin and buffing of the feet
- Removal of blisters, corns and ingrown toenails
- Smoothing out of calluses and dry, cracked heels
- Restoration of natural toenail color, if necessary
