How does a pedicure differ from a medical pedicure?
Most people are familiar with the standard pedicure, which involves soaking the feet in water, trimming the nails, and applying polish. However, there is also such a thing as a medical pedicure. Medical pedicures are performed by podiatrists or other medical professionals, and they focus on treating problems with the feet such as bunions, corns, and calluses. During a medical pedicure, the nails and cuticles are trimmed, and the feet are exfoliated and massaged. A medical pedicure may also involve the use of special instruments to remove calluses or treat conditions such as ingrown nails. While both types of pedicures can be relaxing and revitalizing, a medical pedicure is a more serious treatment for foot problems.

Clapham’s new medical pedicure
Chloe visited Chelsea Pedicure Clapham and here’s what she had to say: ‘Clapham’s new medical pedicure is amazing! I had no idea such a thing existed. Basically, it’s like a regular pedicure but with an added medical component. My technician was able to get all the dead skin off my feet and make them look and feel amazing. She also took care of any ingrown nails and calluses I had. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to take their foot care to the next level!’
