Advantages
Podological pedicure is especially relevant for people with various diseases, including diabetes, fungus and onychocryptosis. The procedure includes not only the removal of calluses and corns, but also the correction of the shape of the nails, as well as their polishing and moisturizing. Its goal is not only the external improvement of the condition of the legs, but also their deep restoration. In addition, comprehensive care for nails and skin of the feet prevents the appearance of aesthetic defects of the feet.
When carrying out a therapeutic pedicure by a podiatrist, special attention is paid to sterility and disinfection: instruments and attachments undergo thorough antiseptic treatment. Such measures eliminate the possibility of contracting AIDS and other infections. The podiatrist's office and equipment are processed in strict accordance with SANPIN standards. Only nail specialists with medical education take care of the health of patients.
As part of the therapeutic pedicure procedure, methods such as:
- Laser therapy.
- Peeling.
- Photo- and bioepilation.
- Venotonic massage.
- Reflexology.
The duration of a standard medical pedicure is from 60 to 90 minutes. It is recommended to change the decorative coating every 2-3 weeks.
When to see a doctor
Contacting a podiatrist surgeon is necessary in case of serious problems with the nails or skin of the feet that cannot be solved by standard methods. The main problems include:
- Ingrown toenail. If improperly cared for or injured, the nail can begin to grow into the skin, causing pain and inflammation. If the problem is not resolved in time, radical surgery will be required.

A foot care specialist, or podiatrist, will not only relieve discomfort in the feet or toes, but will also provide treatment for the underlying source of the problem, be it a nail or foot condition.
