Toenails usually grow half as slowly as fingernails but in some cases it is highly recommended to tidy them up every 4 – 6 weeks, for example: 

• For aesthetic reasons - wearing nail varnish
• When leading an active life and doing sports. When the toes and toenails are exposed to extreme pressure such as during tennis, running, football, yoga etc., there is a risk of corns developing on the toes.

High-risk foot patients should be checked more often to avoid health issues, pain or the risk of infection or amputation due to ingrown toenails, ulceration etc. However, in this case, every 4-6 weeks a regular, traditional foot health care treatment would be recommended instead of this quick tidy up session.  

In the case of any minor nail or skin disorders the traditional pedicures appropriate; when dealing with a bigger skin or nail issue, then one of the special foot health treatments can be the solution. In both the traditional pedicure, or during any of the special foot health treatments, the skin is removed with a sterile blade and both a scalpel technique and a modern drill machine are used together.

• On each and every occasion the patient’s feet are assessed and checked.
• Professional shortening and shaping of the toenails.
• Smoothing the nail skin - eponychium, perionychium, cuticle -  which provides a cleaned tidy nail plate.
• Skin smoothing with a dry pedicure drilling machine.
