About the service

Medical pedicure is performed by specially trained specialists - podiatrists and includes not only nail care, but also the solution to many foot health problems. Leg diseases can occur under the influence of infectious, inflammatory or vascular factors or injuries.

Every day, feet experience significant stress, so they require the same careful care as our hands. Ignoring this rule can lead to the appearance of corns, calluses on the fingers and cracked heels.

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.
  • Fungal diseases. The fungus affects the nails and skin of the feet at the same time, causing unpleasant symptoms.

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.

Problems that require medical intervention

  • Change in shape and thickening of nails.
  • The appearance of corns.
  • Formation of calluses.
  • Presence of cracks.
  • Formation of cones.
  • Thickening of the skin.
  • The appearance of edema.
  • Presence of humidity.
  • Pain in the feet.
  • Foot injuries.
  • Deformation of fingers.
  • Any other biomechanical damage.

If you have diseases such as diabetes, psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis that affect your feet, a regular pedicure may not bring the desired results.

Pregnant and lactating women are recommended to undergo procedures with extreme caution, and only after carefully checking that there are no contraindications to the medications used during treatment. Simple cleansing and gentle wellness treatments are, however, acceptable.

Tools for podological pedicure

A whole range of tools is used to perform podological pedicure. They can be used both in specialized clinics and at home.

The main tool for the procedure is a pedicure device. The high power and additional functions of the professional model make it more preferable than simple devices with basic options.

A set of pedicure cutters is also necessary for comprehensive foot care. It may include:

  • Gold sword made of surgical steel with gold plating.
  • Podofix made of flexible plastic.
  • Metal onoclip with epoxy coating.
  • Cut made of duroplastic with fiberglass.

In order to prevent fungal diseases, pedicure instruments are sterilized before each session. Then, special antiseptic agents are used to treat the feet. Podologists also use various compositions to soften the skin of the feet and nail plates, scissors, tweezers and other tools.

Restoration and care of nails are provided by means for nail plate prosthetics. It can be gel, acrylic or plate prosthesis. In addition, each client receives a customized pedicure kit that includes a disposable nail file, wipe, and toe separators. All of these disposable items help maintain high standards of hygiene and prevent the possibility of cross-infection. After use they are disposed of.

Main stages of the procedure

The first stage is consultation and diagnosis. At the same time, the doctor evaluates the condition of the feet and nails and collects anamnesis. Further actions:

  • Preparation for pedicure. Disinfection of feet and instruments is carried out.
  • Treatment of nails and skin of the feet. A podiatrist removes excess stratum corneum, calluses and corns, and corrects the shape of the nails. If necessary, additional treatment of fungal diseases and onychocryptosis is carried out.
  • Skin moisturizing and massage. At this stage of therapeutic pedicure, the podiatrist uses cosmetics that promote skin regeneration, nutrition and hydration. Foot massage helps improve blood circulation, relax muscles and eliminate fatigue.

This approach to treatment not only provides an aesthetic effect, but also helps prevent the development of various leg health problems.

Care, prevention of ingrowth and fungus

Proper care of toenails and prevention of possible problems is the key to their health and beauty.

How to choose the right care products? Let's start with the fact that the use of oils for foot care is not always justified. After all, oil, creating a film on the surface of the skin, often does not penetrate deep, and therefore does not provide the necessary hydration and nutrition. It is wise to choose water-oil products in the format of creams or drops.

When purchasing foot cream, it is important to consider the condition of your skin. For example, for very thin skin, light products are suitable; you can even use sprays that act like serums. If there are deep cracks and keratosis, creams with colostrum will be useful, which cover the cracks with a film and promote their healing.

For people with diabetes, creams with silver ions are an excellent choice. They have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Sports enthusiasts will benefit from foamy creams that do not create a sticky feeling and penetrate the skin well.

Here are some tips to help you prevent nail problems:

  • Maintain hygiene. Wash your feet regularly, change your socks and shoes. This will help prevent the development of fungal and bacterial infections.
  • Do your manicure correctly. Trim your nails straight without bending the corners. This will prevent them from growing in.
  • Do not sand by yourself. After all, the specialist takes into account the individual pattern of the skin on the foot, and improper or excessive grinding can damage the top layer of skin, cause peeling and the formation of microcracks.
  • Use moisturizers. Regular use of creams will help keep the skin of the feet and nail plates in good condition.
  • Do not wear tight shoes. Otherwise, a number of problems will arise, including ingrown nails and foot deformation.

Visit a podiatrist if necessary. Regular visits to the doctor will help to detect and solve possible problems in time.

Had surgery on my foot. Anastasia Alekseevna clearly explained in advance what and how would happen during the operation and after, as well as during the rehabilitation period. As a result, many years of pain went away! Now I only regret that I did not fall into the hands of this team of doctors earlier.

My hand started to hurt from constantly working at the computer. I was worried for several months, nothing helped - neither exercises, nor bandages. I had already begun to seriously think about changing my field of activity, because working at a computer was simply impossible. But I went to Lev Ilyich for an appointment and within a few days the arm was completely gone! Notice that the pain did not decrease, but went away completely. I do the exercises that the doctor gave and follow all the recommendations. I sincerely recommend Lev Ilyich, because he really is a doctor!
