Spring is here, and that means it’s time to trade in your boots for sandals and other open-air footwear! However, before you slip on your latest open-toed acquisition, the team at Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists wants you to know that there are a few good options for preserving foot health and attaining a fresh new look simultaneously. Chief among them? Medical pedicures!

Professional Care, Beautiful Results!

Sometimes, aesthetics and wellness go perfectly together.

  • Unlike spa pedicures, medical pedicures are performed by trained professionals.
  • They focus on addressing underlying foot concerns like dry skin, calluses, and even ingrown toenails, but they also include cuticle cleansing, cupping, shaping, buffing, and polishing.
  • Medical pedicures aren’t limited to aesthetics! They can also detect early signs of foot conditions like diabetic neuropathy or plantar warts, allowing for prompt treatment.
  • Discolored, thick toenails can dampen the joy of spring sandals, but medical pedicures can often identify fungal toenail infections.
  • Medical-grade tools and techniques ensure sterilized equipment and limited reuse, with a focus on preventing the spread of bacteria.

Laser Therapy = Fungus Free Fun!

TLC and self-care are great, but for fungal toenail infections, the most advanced new treatment tech is just what the DPM ordered. After all, onychomycosis is notoriously resistant to treatment and prone to recurrence, and nothing takes the spring out of your step than aesthetically unpleasant, potentially painful toenail trouble.

Fortunately, laser therapy is…

  • Safe, painless, and treats both feet completely within ten minutes!
  • A good way to sidestep the side effects of oral meds (like liver or kidney damage) or the inefficacy of topical treatments (which must be constantly reapplied).
  • A zero-recovery time procedure! You’ll walk in and walk out with no interruptions to your routine.

Everyone deserves to look good AND feel good once spring has sprung, and Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists is ready to assist! We’ll help you take the first step toward open-toed shoes, fungus-free nails, and a happier, fresher stride in no time.
