A beauty pedicure mainly aims at comfort and appearance (beauty care, polish, relaxation). Medical pedicure treats conditions of the foot and nail with hygiene protocols and techniques suited to pathology.
1. The purpose of the treatment
In beauty care, the goal is often a neat, pleasant-looking foot. In medical pedicure, we treat a problem: corn, callus, fungal infection, ingrown toenail, thick nail, pain when walking, or the need for safe cutting in a vulnerable patient.
2. Training and practice standards
A medical pedicurist is trained to work on lesions and follow strict sterilisation rules. Sterile instruments, clinical assessment and follow-up are part of the framework. It is not simply an extended beauty treatment.
3. When to choose medical pedicure?
Choose a medical practice if you have pain, a lesion, a suspected infection, an abnormal nail, diabetes, poor circulation, or if beauty care has not been enough. Our treatments pages detail the most common types of care.
If you only want comfort care with no pathology, a beauty pedicure may be suitable. If in doubt, a medical pedicure assessment helps avoid worsening a lesion that went unnoticed.
4. At home or in the practice
Our team also offers home visits in southern Luxembourg, useful in case of reduced mobility, while keeping the same hygiene standards.
