Podiatry

Podiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with foot disorders and diseases. Podiatrists are healthcare professionals specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of foot and ankle conditions. They use specific techniques and equipment, such as prescribing orthopedic insoles, orthonyxia (technique to correct ingrown toenails), podo-orthosis (plantar orthopedics device), and global postural reeducation. Podiatry is an important medical field, as foot conditions can significantly impact patients’ overall health and well-being.

Pedicure

Pedicure is a foot care practice that involves treating foot conditions, maintaining nails, hydrating the skin, and improving blood circulation. It can be performed for both health and aesthetic reasons. Pedicure practitioners are healthcare professionals who have undergone specific training to learn foot care techniques. They use specific tools and equipment to perform their work, such as files, scissors, drills, brushes, and moisturizing creams.

Foot Beauty

Foot beauty encompasses a range of aesthetic treatments aimed at enhancing and caring for the feet. These treatments typically include a foot bath, exfoliation, hydration, nail filing, removal of calluses and corns, and the application of nail polish. Foot beauty should be performed by professionals who have received specific and recognized training. It should only be provided in beauty salons equipped with all the disinfection techniques that ensure impeccable hygiene. The risks of fungal infections related to nail salons are real and can be caused by poor hygiene or improper practice. Fungal infections can affect both fingernails and toenails. Artificial nails can increase the risk of fungal infections as they can damage the natural nail and allow water and bacteria to accumulate under the artificial nail. Additionally, if tools and products are not properly cleaned and disinfected, bacteria and fungi can easily spread between clients. It is therefore important to choose a manicure or pedicure salon known for its cleanliness and adherence to sanitary standards. Clients should also be aware of the symptoms of fungal infection and consult a healthcare professional if necessary. Swissmassage offers products for disinfecting tools used in foot and nail care practices. Clients should be encouraged to choose salons with a good reputation for hygiene and disinfection.
