A medical pedicure is part of a comprehensive plan geared toward foot health. These pedicures are different from pedicures performed in a salon; they’re a form of preventive care completed by our trained nail technician under the supervision of our podiatry specialist such as Mariola Rivera, DPM, Lisa Shah, DPM, and the team at Aesthetic Podiatry & Sports Medicine Center.
This service, available at our White Plains location, is tailored to each patient’s needs, and may involve:
Medical pedicures are performed in-office using safe, professional equipment and typically take about 45 minutes to an hour.
A medical pedicure benefits:
Athletes and anyone who spends a significant amount of time on their feet can benefit from a medical pedicure. These pedicures address the wear and tear on the feet that comes from constant use. A medical pedicure can help athletes and active individuals maintain foot health and performance.
Medical pedicures offer a private, clinical environment for individuals hesitant to receive foot care in traditional salon settings due to hygiene concerns. Our experts complete medical pedicures using the highest standards of cleanliness.
Individuals living with diabetes, cancer, or autoimmune diseases are particularly encouraged to get medical pedicures. These conditions can make feet more susceptible to complications. Medical pedicures safely manage these issues without the risk of infection.
Medical pedicures are recommended when you have certain foot conditions, including nail fungus, athlete's foot, and ingrown nails.
The following are some of the advantages of getting a medical pedicure:
For patients with conditions that can cause foot complications like diabetes, arthritis, or fungal infections, a medical pedicure is crucial. These conditions can make your feet more vulnerable to complications, including ulcers and serious infections.
Our team is trained to manage these risks, and can provide a safe and thorough medical pedicure. These types of pedicures keep your feet healthy, and provide the opportunity to monitor foot health.
Medical pedicures adhere to stringent hygiene and safety protocols. In a medical setting, tools are thoroughly sterilized, and the environment is designed to minimize the risk of infection.
This is especially important in preventing the spread of foot-related diseases. Knowing that your foot care is being managed by a medical professional can bring peace of mind.
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, a medical pedicure provides personalized care tailored to your specific needs. This individualized approach means that if you have calluses, non infected ingrown toenails, or dry, cracked skin, our experts will implement treatments specific to your condition.
Medical pedicures have long-term benefits for your foot health. By addressing issues early and maintaining good foot hygiene, you can prevent more serious complications from developing.
This is especially vital for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes that they should visit the podiatrist at least every three months, where foot health is a major concern. Diabetes-related foot complications can progress quickly, making prevention crucial. Regular checkups can catch potential problems before they become serious.
Beyond the immediate benefits, a medical pedicure is an opportunity to learn more about keeping your feet healthy. Our team can provide advice on everything from the best ways to maintain foot hygiene at home to choosing the right footwear to support foot health.
Whether dealing with specific foot conditions or just looking for personalized care, a medical pedicure provides the expertise your feet need.
