A pedicure with a medical degree
Sterile instruments, German water-spray equipment, and a podiatrist's eye for what's really going on, a medical pedicure treats the health of your feet, not just how they look in sandals.
- Virtually pain-free water-spray technique
- Sterile, single-patient instruments
- HICAPS direct billing available
Three steps to healthy, happy feet
- 01
Assess
Nail and skin health, foot structure, and a medical history, systemic conditions and medications show up in feet first.
- 02
Treat
Nails trimmed, filed and cleaned; calluses, corns and cracked skin debrided; fungal nails and skin conditions identified and treated.
- 03
Protect
A short and long-term protocol to keep feet healthy, with your GP looped in if anything needs it.
Why a podiatrist, not a salon
A regular pedicure improves appearance. A medical pedicure is performed by a podiatrist trained in foot anatomy who can diagnose and treat what they find, fungal infections, ingrown nails, corns, cracked heels, with sterile instruments, in a clinical environment. (No polish; we'll advise on that instead.)
Healthy feet typically need one every 6 to 8 weeks. Think of it as servicing for the pair of feet you plan to keep.

Not sure if this is a beauty thing or a medical thing?
It sits somewhere in between, and that is the point. The result you would want from a good pedicure, done with sterile instruments by someone qualified to notice when something is not right. Tell us what you want sorted and we will come back to you about whether this is the appointment for it.
Thanks, that is with us
