What is a Medi-Pedi?
A Medi-pedi, also known as a medical pedicure, is a specialised foot care treatment that combines the cosmetic aspects of a traditional pedicure with medical-grade attention to foot health. Unlike a standard pedicure, a Medi-pedi is typically performed by a trained podiatrist or a specialist with advanced knowledge of foot health. The treatment focuses on addressing and preventing foot problems, such as fungal infections, ingrown toenails, calluses, corns, and cracked heels, while also providing the aesthetic benefits of a regular pedicure.
The Medi-pedi is ideal for anyone who want’s the aesthetics of a nail pedicure in a safe and sterile environment with qualified podiatrists. Unfortunately, traditional nail salons are not held to the same standards which increases their risk of infections.
