A medical pedicure, also called a chiropody, is performed by a podiatrist using sterile instruments. It treats ingrown nails, thickened nails, corns and fungal infections. Sessions last 30 to 45 minutes and cost more than a beauty pedicure. Book this option if you have diabetes, circulation problems or recurring nail pain.
Square and oval shapes hold polish better than pointed or stiletto shapes. Round nails resist side cracks for 3 to 4 weeks. Toenails should be cut straight across with 1 mm to 2 mm of free edge. Cutting too short increases the risk of ingrown nails within 1 to 2 weeks.
A fresh coat of regular polish usually lasts 5 to 7 days before chipping. Gel polish, cured under UV or LED light, can last 14 to 21 days without visible wear. The shape of the nail and the thickness of the application affect durability, so ask how many coats are included and which base and top coat brands are used.
Ingrown nails appear within 1 to 3 weeks when corners are cut too short or rounded. Fungal infections show as yellow, thick nails 2 to 8 weeks later, often from unsterilized tools. Cuticle damage causes redness and small infections. If pain, swelling, or pus appears, contact a podiatrist and avoid home removal of any skin growth.
Most clients book every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain shape and callus control. People with fast-growing nails or heavy callus buildup may need visits every 3 weeks. If you wear open shoes daily or run often, expect shorter intervals. Waiting more than 8 weeks usually requires extra work and longer sessions to restore the feet.
A full standard pedicure takes 45 to 60 minutes. Add 15 minutes if you want gel polish or callus removal with an electric file. Express services last 20 to 30 minutes and skip the foot bath and massage. Confirm the duration when you book to plan your visit and avoid rushing the technician.
Manual callus removal uses a foot file with 80 grit on damp skin. Electric files with diamond or carbide bits work faster on thicker skin but carry a higher risk of burns if misused. Salons should not use blades or razor scrapers on feet. Ask which tool the technician prefers for your skin type.
Standard polish brands last 5 to 7 days without a top coat. Premium polish formulas with a base and top coat last 7 to 10 days. Gel systems from professional lines last 14 to 21 days. Dip powder systems last 21 to 28 days but require acetone removal for 15 to 20 minutes.
Tools should come out of a sealed sterilization pouch or be visibly cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectant. Foot baths need to be disinfected between every client, not only rinsed. Linbow boards, buffers, and pumice stones must be single-use or replaced. Watch for dirty towels, reused files, and technicians who skip hand washing before starting.
Basic pedicures range from 25 to 45 units of local currency, while spa versions with masks and massage reach 60 to 90. Gel polish adds 10 to 20, and callus removal for severe buildup can add another 10. Location, rent, product brand, and technician experience explain most of the gap. Always ask for a written breakdown.
