A podological pedicure, or podological pedicure, is not just about nice-looking feet but also about well-kept skin and comfortable walking. A pedicure with a podologist focuses first on the condition of skin and nails, and your feet look better along the way.
Rough feet and nails that are hard to trim
Home care stops being enough when, for example, the skin on your soles hardens, your heels get rough and your nails are hard to trim. If the hard skin is thick and painful, take a look at calluses on feet.
We assess your feet and work on skin and nails
We start with a conversation and a foot assessment. Then, with specialist tools, we work on hardened skin, heels and toenails. Finally, we choose care products for you. If you take blood thinners, please tell us. If the skin is cracking, see also cracked heels.
Smoother feet, and you know how to care for them
After the visit your skin is soft and your nails are short and even. Our home care advice tells you which cream to choose, how often to use it and what to avoid. If you want to soften the skin further, you can add a paraffin foot care session to your pedicure.
We provide podological pedicure in Warsaw at our practice in Mokotów, following high standards of hygiene and safety. This is the basis of every visit, whether you come for the first time or regularly.
Our clients include people who stand a lot or train, and people who want to look after their feet before problems start. We ask what your usual day looks like, because the load your feet carry shows on the skin.
Prices are approximate and depend on the condition of your feet. Your podologist confirms the final price after assessment.
How is a podological pedicure different from a cosmetic one?
It starts with a foot assessment, meaning we check your skin, heels and nails before the procedure. A podologist also works on hard skin and nails that cause trouble, and at the end gives you advice for home. A cosmetic pedicure focuses mainly on how your feet look, and in many situations that is all you need.
How often should I have a podological pedicure?
Usually every 4 weeks. The standard skin renewal cycle takes about 28 days, so this gap between visits works for many people. If your feet carry more load, you may need visits more often. After the first session we will set a rhythm of care and check-ups that fits your feet.
Does a podological pedicure hurt?
In the vast majority of cases the procedure is well tolerated. In sensitive or heavily loaded areas you may feel slight discomfort. We work gently and gradually, at a pace that suits you. If anything bothers you, just tell us. You can ask us to slow down or pause at any time.
Can I have a pedicure with polish or gel?
Yes. A pedicure with regular polish takes about 110 minutes, and a gel pedicure about 120 minutes. We paint the toenails at the end, once the skin and nails have been worked on. If a nail is lifting or looks different, we assess it first and tell you whether polish is a good idea.
How should I prepare for the visit?
No special preparation is needed. On the day, just wash your feet well and wear comfortable shoes. If you have a long-term condition or take tablets regularly, mention it when we talk before the procedure. Do you have test results from a foot injury? Bring them with you.
How long does a podological pedicure take?
About 90 minutes without polish, and the versions with polish take longer. If you only need part of the procedure, you can choose foot skin care only or toe care only, each about 40 minutes. If you are not sure what to choose, start with a podiatry consultation.
