Therapeutic pedicure. Technique for foot fungus, ingrown toenail and for the elderly at home

Medical manicure and pedicure are often associated with hardware, as both procedures are performed using special equipment. However, this judgment is incorrect, primarily because the usual hardware technique is a hygienic care procedure. And her task is to prevent the development of problems and ensure the beauty, well-groomed feet. A hardware medical pedicure is designed to solve problems that cannot be dealt with on one's own.

Indications for the procedure

The following problems become the basis for the procedure.

• Ingrown nail. Treatment is possible to eliminate painful ingrowth only if suppuration has not begun in the skin rollers. If pus is already present, the help of a surgeon is required.
• Mycosis or fungus of the feet. It is extremely necessary to include a medical pedicure for fungus in the disease control program. It will allow you to painlessly and completely remove the affected areas of the nail plate, eliminate the infection of neighboring ones, increase the intensity of antifungal agents and accelerate recovery.
• Hyperkeratosis It often develops due to the classic pedicure, in which the skin is removed by undercutting, after which they grow even more actively. The disease leads to the development of a hard skin covering a large surface of the foot, as if the skin hangs with "tatters." Therapeutic pedicure helps get rid of the disease in 1 session.
• Cracked feet. The disease is the result of excessively dry skin, usually formed on the heels. A European pedicure will not allow you to get rid of it in 1 session, and a therapeutic one can, because it involves treating the edges of cracks with special metal nozzles with a small abrasive and further filling them with healing wounds.
• Kernel corn. It is impossible to remove it at home, since only the upper part is cut off. The procedure is dangerous because of the risk of cutting too large a section of skin, touching live tissue, and getting an inflammatory process. In the cosmetology office, special nozzles are used to solve the problem, which work on the principle of drill bits. They drill out dead skin, remove the cornea, and then inject the drug into the resulting “fossa” and apply a bandage.

Techniques for treating the most common diseases in Moscow

These problems are most often addressed to podologists, therefore, we consider the features of the treatment of these diseases.

Nail fungus

Therapeutic pedicure for nail fungus is necessary. The disease causes deformation of the nail plates, a change in their color is very contagious! To avoid the infection of loved ones in your home, you should treat it immediately.The podologist will help you with this. Hygienic treatment of feet and nails is carried out under sterile conditions. If possible, disposable cutters are used, if standard ones are used, they are disinfected.

In the course of treatment, the entire affected nail plate is removed painlessly and quickly (in 1 procedure). Other affected areas are treated with antifungal agents. For healthy nails, hygienic treatment is carried out. Due to the removal of sources of infection, the disease does not progress, the effectiveness of antifungal agents is significantly increased.

Ingrown nail

During medical pedicure with an ingrown nail, special plates are used for correction, which are applied to the nail and lift it above the skin rollers. Plates are applied:

• Gold-plated surgical steel plated with gold;
• Podofik from elastic plastic;
• Onoclip - metal, with an epoxy coating;
• Duroplastic with fiberglass.

The principle of their action is almost identical, but according to the presence of concomitant problems, for example, with high sensitivity of the side roller, twisted nails or when the corn rod is located next to it, the specialist chooses the appropriate one. The plate is applied to the nail with a special glue and is almost invisible after performing a pedicure.

Special Purpose Pedicure

So podologists call pedicures for the elderly. Its goal is not the beauty of the legs, but the ability to move painlessly, get rid of overgrown bone nails, gently remove corns without the risk of infection (this is especially important for people with diabetes). A medical pedicure is being carried out for the elderly at home. The podologist uses mobile equipment, processing takes up to 50 minutes. Pedicure at home for pensioners is a painless, comfortable and effective hygienic procedure that improves the quality of life.

The use of hardware techniques, special disinfectants and medicines, the professionalism of a doctor - all this makes medical pedicure the surest way to deal with foot diseases. Also, many masters of manicure and pedicure provide the service "home trip", which is very convenient for older people. The price may be more expensive, but it is a very convenient service.
