Medical Pedicure
Dry cracked heels, thickened nails or stubborn calluses are not just cosmetic concerns – they can cause pain, embarrassment and even infections. Many people search for a medical pedicure when ordinary salon pedicures are no longer enough, or when they want their feet to be assessed by someone with real clinical knowledge.

At rtwskin in Tunbridge Wells, our medical foot pedicure combines gentle pampering with a thorough, health-focused approach. Working alongside our dermatology and laser teams, your practitioner not only improves the appearance of your feet but also checks for underlying issues that may need further treatment.
A podiatrist pedicure focuses on the health, comfort and function of your feet, not just their appearance. Our professional pedicure is performed in a clinical environment using sterilised instruments, medical-grade products and strict hygiene protocols.
Thick or uneven nails, calluses, corns, dry or cracked heels, rough soles, general build-up of hard skin.
Normally not required; the procedure is gentle, but can be adapted if areas are very sensitive.
Usually 45–75 minutes depending on the complexity of your foot concerns.
Mild temporary tenderness or redness; very small risk of infection, minimised by strict hygiene protocols and aftercare guidance.
None in most cases; you can walk out comfortably and resume normal daily activities straight away.
Typically 4–8 weeks, influenced by footwear, activity levels and underlying conditions.
Many clients choose regular appointments throughout the year for ongoing maintenance and comfort.
Which Areas Can It Treat?
-
Toenails
Nails are carefully trimmed, shaped and, if needed, gently reduced in thickness. The practitioner also cleans the area around and beneath the nail to relieve pressure and improve overall appearance.
-
Nail Folds
The skin around the nails is assessed and tidied with a clinical approach. Excess cuticle and dry tissue are softened and refined to support healthy nail growth without the aggressive cutting often seen in non-medical salons.
-
Heels
The heels are smoothed using specialist instruments to reduce areas of thickened skin while preserving the skin’s natural protective function. This helps improve comfort in shoes and enhances the appearance of the feet.
-
Soles
The soles are examined for areas of uneven or hardened skin. These zones are gradually and safely reduced, leaving the skin softer and more comfortable, especially in weight-bearing areas.
-
Balls of the Feet
These high-pressure areas can often become thickened. The practitioner gently thins and refines these regions to improve comfort during daily activities and reduce excess pressure when walking.
-
Toes
The toes and the spaces between them are carefully cleaned and refined. This includes smoothing dry areas, improving comfort and maintaining healthy skin in an often-overlooked part of the foot.
How It Works
A medical pedicure — delivered locally at rtwskin — combines specialist tools, strict infection-control standards and genuine clinical expertise. Instead of simply filing and painting, your practitioner assesses the condition of your skin and nails, identifies problem areas and then treats them step by step.
All instruments are single-use or carefully sterilised. Working with precision, the practitioner gradually reduces thick skin and nail overgrowth while constantly checking your comfort. If they notice any suspicious lesions, fungal changes or circulation issues, they can signpost you to our wider dermatology and laser team for further assessment or treatments such as Laser Fungal Nail Treatment or Skin Lesion Removal.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
-
After a short consultation and visual examination, your feet are cleansed and prepared. Any old nail polish is removed and the nails are trimmed to an appropriate length and shape, following podiatry principles to reduce the risk of ingrowing.
-
Using specialised burrs, files and blades, the practitioner gently thins thickened nails, smooths edges and reduces callused or hardened skin. Particular attention is paid to areas of pressure, corns, cracked heels and rough patches across the soles.
-
Throughout your medi pedi, your practitioner will explain what they are doing and check how your feet feel. If necessary, they may suggest additional medical treatments if they suspect fungal infection or other conditions that a standard professional pedicure cannot resolve. The treatment usually ends with the application of hydrating creams or serums, and, if appropriate, a simple clear polish.
What Problems Does the Service Solve?
A clinical pedicure medical near me in Tunbridge Wells is ideal for those who feel uncomfortable or uneasy in traditional beauty salons. It helps address issues such as thick, discoloured or peeling nails, rough skin, small cracks, calluses and general roughness that regular creams and at-home foot files simply can’t resolve.
Many clients also appreciate that a medical practitioner is looking closely at their feet. Subtle changes caused by diabetes, circulatory problems, fungal infections or pressure can be spotted early and referred on. This proactive approach means your medical pedicure supports both comfort today and long-term foot health.
Long-Lasting and Effective Results
Immediately after your medical foot pedicure, your feet will feel lighter, smoother and more comfortable in shoes. Nails look neater and more even, and callused areas are significantly reduced.
With good footwear and home care, the benefits can last several weeks. Regular maintenance sessions help prevent the return of hard skin and allow any minor issues to be managed before they become painful. Because the focus is on health as well as appearance, each visit builds on the previous one, supporting ongoing mobility and confidence.
Post-Treatment Care
-
Moisturise your feet daily, paying particular attention to the heels and soles.
-
Wear well-fitting footwear with appropriate support to reduce pressure and friction.
-
Avoid using harsh blades or razors on your feet at home; leave reduction of hard skin to your practitioner.
-
Keep nails trimmed straight across and avoid digging into the corners to reduce ingrown risk.
-
Monitor your feet regularly, especially if you have diabetes or circulation issues, and contact rtwskin if you notice any changes or discomfort.
-
Book regular maintenance appointments to keep your feet in optimal condition.
