Treatments

Medical Pedicure

This is the foot treatment to choose if you’re looking for a thorough overhaul of your feet. The Medical Pedicure is an intensive, non-invasive treatment which ensures both the health of your feet. It combines all elements of our special Foot Health services with the safe removal of corns, calluses, and hard, dry skin. 

We recommend a Medical Pedicure every 6-10 weeks for happy and healthy feet.

​

In contrast to a regular pedicure, our Medical Pedicure uses specialised tools that have been sterilised in between treatments to 134 degrees. The tools used in a salon pedicure will be sterilised in bright blue barbicide or a similar product. However, podiatrists and Foot Health Practitioners will use an autoclave sterilisation chamber to clean their blades and drill immediately after use for superior hygiene. 

Also, because a medical pedicure is performed on dry feet there is no risk of infection arising from a shared footbath. Hygiene or sanitation standards cannot always be guaranteed in popular nail salons. With a higher turnover, standards tend to decrease and the likelihood of fungal infections, cross-contamination or ingrown nails (due to poor cutting) increases.

Diabetic Footcare

If you have diabetes, looking after your feet is particularly important. Yet it’s often one of the most overlooked aspects of diabetes management.

Diabetes affects your circulation and nervous system. The reduction of blood supply to your feet can cause damage to your nerve endings, something known as peripheral neuropathy.

Simply put, you may not be able to feel pain and hot or cold meaning that you may not notice if you have a minor cut, sore or wound. In addition, poor circulation makes it difficult for your body to heal, so a minor problem left unchecked could lead to serious complications including foot ulcers, foot infections, and even amputation.

You may also suffer from a loss of balance and coordination, and muscle weakness in the feet.

Having your feet regularly checked will alert you to any potential issues as well as giving personalised advice to maintain your foot health in between appointments.

Some recommendations are:

• Ensure your feet are clean and free from infection.

• Wear only well-fitting shoes. Ill-fitting shoes can result in blisters, ulcers, corns and calluses, and nail problems.

• Avoid walking barefoot, especially when outside to reduce the risks of cuts and grazes.

• Try to avoid sitting cross-legged as this can hinder circulation.

• Cut and file your toenails on a regular basis. When cutting your nails, cut straight across.

• Moisturise your skin, paying particular attention to your heels, as dry skin can lead to cracking and fissures.

• Wear the right shoes. We can recommend the ideal footwear for diabetics.

• Never attempt to treat corns or hard skin yourself. Always consult a podiatrist.
