Medical Pedicure
What is a Medical Pedicure?
A Medical Pedicure (sometimes called a Medi Pedi) combines professional podiatry foot care with the relaxing feel of a traditional pedicure. It is designed for people who want their feet to both look better and feel more comfortable, while being treated safely by a qualified foot care professional.
Unlike a standard beauty pedicure, a Medical Pedicure focuses on the health of your feet as well as appearance. This means we can help with common foot concerns such as:
- Hard skin build-up
- Small corns
- Overgrown or uneven nails
- General nail care and foot hygiene
The treatment includes basic podiatry care where needed, followed by a pampering element that leaves your feet feeling refreshed, smooth and well cared for. It is an ideal option if you want a treatment that is both practical and relaxing.
Why would I have a Medical Pedicure?
A Medical Pedicure is ideal if you want more than a cosmetic pedicure and would like your feet treated by a professional who understands foot health. It is especially popular with clients who have:
- Hard skin that is causing discomfort
- Small corns they would like reduced
- Nails that need trimming, shaping or general care
- Tired feet that would benefit from a relaxing treatment
Many people choose a Medical Pedicure because it gives them the best of both worlds – effective foot care and a chance to relax. After treatment, your feet can feel lighter, smoother and more comfortable in everyday shoes.
It is also a lovely option before holidays, weddings, special events, or simply as part of ongoing self-care. If you want healthier-looking feet and a treatment that leaves you feeling looked after, a Medi Pedi is a great choice.
How do we do Medical Pedicures?
We provide our Medical Pedicures by combining the clinical skills of our podiatrists with the comfort and enjoyment of a pedicure treatment. This allows us to care for your feet properly while also giving you a relaxing experience.
During your Medi Pedi appointment, we focus on both foot health and appearance. Your treatment may include:
- Reduction of calluses and small corns
- Cutting and shaping of nails
- Removal of nail polish (if present)
- Cleansing and preparation of the feet
- Skin care treatment
- Relaxing foot massage
- Nail cleansing
- Nail finishing (surface sealing or nail polish)
We allow 1 hour for this treatment so there is enough time to care for your feet properly without rushing.
Please note: If you are wearing Shellac, this will need to be removed before your appointment.
