A podiatrist is a specialist who works at the junction of such areas as dermatology and surgery. Treatment of foot diseases, prevention of foot patients and especially correction of the nail plate in case of lesions and deformities. Healthy feet are an indicator of the overall level of health. Vascular and endocrine diseases often affect the condition of this part of the body.

Podology (medical pedicure) – foot treatment, nail treatment.

During the examination, an experienced podiatrist eliminates external manifestations and diagnoses the internal causes of the origin of diseases. Hardware medical pedicure consists of a whole complex of procedures for skin and toenail care. Therapeutic pedicure differs from cosmetology – aimed at aesthetic procedures.


The appointment of a podiatrist includes:

• Patient consultation;

• Diagnostic examination;

• Selection of the program;

• Additional surveys;

• Treatment of problematic feet;

• Recommendation of medications for care.


Treatment of the feet will protect you from calloused formations, intense cracks of the heels, ingrown toenail, hyperhidrosis, fungal lesions of the toenails. But the most common reason for contacting a podologist is the problem of an ingrown nail, which is also solved by means of podology.

The most important thing in the treatment of foot diseases is to make an appointment with a podiatrist in a timely manner. Any foot problem is best treated at the initial stage. The specialist uses only high-quality medicines and modern equipment, which allows for effective and painless treatment of the skin of the feet. The safety of the procedure is also an advantage. After the doctor's examination, you will be able to wear open-toed shoes. The aesthetic appeal of nails awaits you. When performing a medical pedicure procedure, there is no possibility of damage to the skin of the legs. The effect of a medical pedicure consists of three parts. Therapeutic – after the first procedure, you will feel much better. Cosmetic – your legs will acquire aesthetic appeal. Psychological – your confidence will know no bounds.

In addition to the problems associated with the foot, there is a problem related to the nail plate. One of the most common diseases is onychocryptosis, or improper growth of the nail plate, the edge of which literally digs into soft tissues, causes a lot of inconvenience to its owner. More recently, the only way to get rid of such a problem once and for all was surgical intervention. Today, you can do without surgery and there are several methods for this:

• Installation of the milling cutter bracket. The most versatile and popular corrective brace has been the Milling Cutter brace for 67 years since its invention. It is made strictly individually for each nail.

• Treatment of ingrown toenail - Podofix. Podofix is a modern, non-surgical and painless method of correcting a deformed nail. Flexible staples-plates are installed on the diseased nail, without causing discomfort.
