Medical Pedicure in Ljubljana and Novo mesto
What is a medical pedicure?
Medical pedicure or medical foot care is one of the demanding pedicure procedures that are the domain of a podiatrist. The competences of a qualified podiatrist for the comprehensive treatment of the most challenging foot problems are combined with in-depth general medical and natural science knowledge. A podiatrist deals with the treatment of feet, skin and toenails. In his work, he makes use of cosmetic products, medical devices (including apparatus) and over-the-counter medicines. In addition to the therapies appropriate for changes in the skin and nails, we can perform a foot examination. For example, we examine the feet and treat pathological changes in the skin and nails, feel the pulse of the foot, look for orthopaedic changes, evaluate shoes and insoles, and give general advice on daily care. Medical foot care can, on the one hand, relieve pain, and on the other hand, it can refer the patient to further treatment, for example to a doctor or specialist.

from our practice
Foot care: skin treatment
Athlete’s foot, warts and corns are among the typical pathological skin changes on the foot. These skin changes can be accompanied by unpleasant pain that people usually complain about.
Medical foot care can also be helpful if mobility is limited and when it is difficult for the patient to take care for his feet. Foot care in old age is an often neglected part of personal hygiene. This is because the affected persons often cannot easily reach their legs. That is why the feet of the elderly and people who need care are professionally taken care of by a podiatrist. If the feet are treated for medical reasons, medical foot care is used.
Instruments such as scalpels, forceps, drills and grinders are used (which have a very high speed of 40,000 revolutions) and are very effective for demanding treatments. Medical pedicure combines cosmetic and health aspects, both in care and in the preventive prevention of foot diseases.
Medical pedicure procedure
- History and Findings – A detailed foot examination and palpation is required
- Foot bath - used to clean and soften the skin of the feet. It has a relaxing effect and lasts about 5 minutes
- Removal of hard skin (hyperkeratosis) - hard skin is removed with a scalpel, and additional softening agents are used if necessary.
- Nail shortening - shortening is carried out carefully and in accordance with the correct nail design
- Rehabilitation of various foot problems
We also provide advice on how to solve problems with feet in everyday life, for example on questions such as: What should I pay attention to when choosing shoes? What is important for regular foot care at home?
