Healthy feet start here – professional medical pedicure
We restore comfort and aesthetics without pain, safely and effectively
What is a medical pedicure?
A medical pedicure is a specialized treatment designed for individuals dealing with skin or nail problems on their feet. Unlike a classic cosmetic pedicure, it focuses not on aesthetics but primarily on health, diagnosing and treating conditions such as corns, calluses, cracked heels, or ingrown toenails. The procedure is performed by a qualified podiatry specialist under sterile conditions using professional tools.
Who is a medical pedicure for?
Our treatment is intended for patients with various conditions, including:
- Cracked heels
- Corns and calluses
- Thickened or hardened toenails
- Fungal nail infections
- Onycholysis (detachment of the nail plate)
- Ingrown toenails
- Nail plate deformities
- Diabetic foot
Regardless of the issue, we tailor an individual therapy plan and ensure each patient’s comfort throughout the process.
Key components of a medical pedicure
- Thorough analysis of foot and nail condition
The podologist assesses the condition of the skin and nails and identifies potential issues such as calluses, corns, cracks, or fungal infections.
- Removal of callused skin
Using specialized tools, the podologist removes dead and thickened skin that may cause discomfort.
- Treatment of skin and nail disorders (optional step)
The podologist addresses issues like corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, fungal infections, or onycholysis using appropriate methods and preparations.
- Nail care
Includes precise trimming, shaping of the nail plate, and removal of keratosis in the nail folds.
- Prevention and home care guidance
The podologist offers advice on daily foot care, recommends suitable cosmetics, orthopedic insoles, or other supportive products for foot health.
Important Differences Compared to Cosmetic Pedicure
- Purpose: A medical pedicure focuses on treating foot health issues, while a cosmetic pedicure is primarily for aesthetic purposes.
- Tools: The podologist uses scalpels, chisels, and disposable burrs, avoiding foot soaking to reduce the risk of injury and infection — unlike a beautician who uses milling devices and files.
- Education: A podologist provides professional home care recommendations and, if needed, refers patients to other medical specialists.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Medical Pedicure
Does a medical pedicure hurt?
Most procedures are painless and bring immediate relief. Some minor discomfort may occur during the removal of corns or ingrown toenails, but the podiatrist always uses techniques that minimize pain.
How should I prepare for a medical pedicure?
Before your appointment, wash your feet, remove any nail polish, and – if you have any test results (e.g., mycological tests) – bring them with you.
What is the difference between a medical and cosmetic pedicure?
A medical pedicure is performed by a qualified specialist – a podiatrist – using sterile tools and medical procedures. The goal is treatment and prevention, not just aesthetics.
How long does a medical pedicure take?
The treatment usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the issue (e.g., calluses, corns, nails) and the scope of work.
Is a medical pedicure safe for diabetics and people with blood disorders?
Yes, podiatrists are trained to work with children and chronically ill patients, including diabetics. In cases of bleeding tendencies or open wounds, additional precautions and consultations may be required.
Can a callus be removed during a single visit without a full pedicure?
Yes, our team often performs individual procedures such as corn or callus removal without the need for a full pedicure treatment.
