The Ultimate Guide to Medi-Pedis: Professional Foot Care for Healthier, Happier Feet.

One of the unique services we offer here at North Devon Footcare is the Medi-Pedi, What is a Medi-Pedi, I hear you say?

Short for Medical Pedicure, this professional treatment combines the benefits of medical-grade foot care with the relaxing experience of a spa. While a standard pedicure in a beauty salon is purely cosmetic, a Medi-Pedi is specifically designed to offer comprehensive care and address both the appearance and health of your feet.

Whether you're struggling with calluses, cracked heels, or just want to keep your feet healthy, a Medi-Pedi could be exactly what you need.

Benefits of a Medi-Pedi

1. Professional Treatment of Foot Issues.

Medi-Pedis can help manage various foot conditions such as fungal infections, ingrown toenails, calluses, corns, and cracked heels. Unlike regular pedicures, which might inadvertently worsen these issues, a Medi-Pedi targets them with medical-grade tools and techniques.

2. Safer, Sterilised Care

In a podiatry clinic, all tools and equipment are sanitised following sterilisation standards, minimising the risk of infections. This is especially important for people with compromised immune systems, diabetes, or other conditions where foot care is a priority.

3. Tailored for Your Unique Needs

We will evaluate your foot health and customise the treatment based on your needs. This might include removing thickened skin, cutting toenails properly to prevent ingrowth, and advising you on foot care between visits.

4. Improved Foot Health and Appearance 

The Medi-Pedi addresses underlying issues that can lead to foot discomfort and unsightly problems. This makes it an ideal choice for anyone wanting feet that feel as good as they look.

5. Promotes Good Circulation and Relaxation

Like a traditional pedicure, a Medi-Pedi can be relaxing! The massage techniques used help improve circulation, which is especially beneficial for those with diabetes or circulatory problems.

Who Can Benefit from a Medi-Pedi?

A Medi-Pedi is ideal for individuals with specific foot health concerns, as well as anyone wanting a safe, comprehensive foot care treatment. People who especially benefit include:

-  Sporty People: Those who are constantly on their feet, like runners, often deal with blisters, calluses, and damaged nails, making a Medi-Pedi an excellent choice for regular maintenance.

- Seniors: With age, mobility issues can make it hard to reach and properly care for feet, making professional care a valuable option.

- Those with Fungal Infections or Ingrown Toenails: A Medi-Pedi can help safely manage and improve these conditions, providing relief and supporting healing.

What to Expect During a Medi-Pedi

Here’s a typical breakdown of what happens during a Medi-Pedi session:

1. Consultation and Assessment

We will begin with an assessment of your feet, checking for issues like ingrown toenails, fungal infections, or areas of hard, dry skin.

2. Nail Care 

Your nails will be carefully trimmed and shaped to prevent ingrown toenails and promote healthy growth.

3. Other Treatment

We’ll address any corns / calluses / areas of hard skin focusing on areas that may be causing discomfort. Reduce any thickened and fungal nails.

4. Foot Soak and Exfoliation

We’ll soak your feet with a lime and coconut foot soak, followed by a gentle exfoliating foot scrub to leave your feet feeling refreshed and smooth. Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells and warm water and gentle massage motions of scrubbing encourage blood flow.

5. Moisturisation and Massage 

A moisturiser will be applied, nourishing your skin and leaving it soft. Massaging helps to improve circulation and adds a relaxing touch to your experience.

6. Nail Polish

You have the option to add nail polish to top of your treatment, in a colour of choice. We use Dr’s Remedy nail polish, a polish designed by two podiatrists that is free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP (dibutyl phthalate). These chemicals, commonly used in nail products, can be harsh on the nails, often causing brittleness, dryness, and even discolouration over time. It’s Vegan and cruelty free with nourishing ingredients to support nail health.

5. Education and Recommendations

 After your Medi-Pedi, our team will advise on products or practices to help maintain healthy feet at home, including tips on proper nail care, footwear choices, and daily foot care routines.

Our Medi-Pedi treatments are carefully crafted to provide a holistic experience that

enhances both the health and appearance of your feet.
