Pedicures

A pedicure is a comprehensive treatment aimed at the care of skin and nails on the feet. This treatment focuses on resolving nail-related issues, reducing calluses, and addressing cracked heels for improved foot health and aesthetics. At Body Silk Clinic, every pedicure is carried out by skilled specialists, ensuring both beauty and health for your feet with meticulous and personalised care.

It is not recommended to perform pedicure procedures at home, as professional treatment in a clinic has multiple advantages:

1. Individualised technique – The technique is customised to suit each client’s specific needs.
2. Professional products – Only high-quality, professional-grade products are used for skin and nail care.
3. Wide range of finishes – Clients have access to a diverse selection of polishes and finishes.

The procedure takes around an hour and should ideally be repeated every 4 weeks, making it easy to maintain soft, well-groomed feet without excessive time commitment. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment, with techniques and optional polish application tailored to individual preferences.

At Body Silk Clinic, we offer a variety of pedicure options, with two main types being especially popular:

• Classic pedicure – a standard treatment suitable for regular foot care, ideal for maintaining healthy and attractive feet.
• Pedicure with callus peel – a gentle treatment using products with acids for thorough exfoliation, offering an effective alternative to traditional pedicures.

The Classic pedicure is a foundational treatment that offers essential care for maintaining health and appearance of the feet. This straightforward yet effective procedure includes several carefully executed steps to achieve clean, smooth feet.

Nail trimming and shaping – the nails are trimmed and shaped with precision, promoting a well-groomed, balanced appearance.

Cuticle care – cuticles are softened and gently pushed back or trimmed, enhancing the nails’ aesthetic and hygiene.

Exfoliation – the feet are exfoliated with a scrub to remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and refreshed.

Moisturising massage — a relaxing massage with hydrating cream is applied to the feet and lower legs, restoring moisture and improving blood and lymphatic circulation.

Polish application (optional) — for a final touch, the nails can be polished with a strengthening or color polish of choice, completing the clean, polished look.

The Classic pedicure offers immediate improvements in both comfort and appearance. Clients can expect:

• Smooth, exfoliated skin and healthy nails
• Enhanced foot hygiene with careful cuticle and nail care
• Relaxed, moisturized feet and lower legs
• Optional nail polish for a polished finish

The Classic pedicure is perfect for regular upkeep and is suited for anyone looking to maintain soft, healthy feet. At Body Silk Clinic, we use professional-grade products and prioritise gentle techniques, making the experience enjoyable and beneficial for everyone.

Pedicure with callus peel is especially popular due to its efficient, gentle care. This treatment is performed in several stages:

1. Nail shaping – nails are trimmed and shaped with a file.
2. Skin softening – the feet are soaked in a warm, herbal or sea salt bath for five minutes.
3. Application of acid-based cream – an acid solution is applied to areas with rough skin. In cases of extra rough skin, the feet may be wrapped in cling film for ten minutes.
4. Exfoliation – the wrap is removed, and the feet are carefully wiped and filed to eliminate dead skin cells.
5. Sanitising and smoothing – the feet are sanitised, and the skin is polished.
6. Final touch — the procedure ends with a moisturising cream application. Nail polish or nail design can be added upon request.

Different types of pedicures may be suited to specific needs. Pedicure with callus peel is ideal for those who need treatment for calluses, dry patches, or high foot perspiration.

Though each pedicure type has its unique goals, clients can expect similar benefits when visiting Body Silk Clinic:

• Gentle and painless removal of calluses and rough skin
• Shaping of nails for a clean, well-maintained appearance
• Relief from issues like excessive foot perspiration and ingrown nails
• Soft, smooth skin and polished nails
• Increased blood circulation to foot tissues
• Recommendations on appropriate at-home foot care products and techniques

At Body Silk Clinic, we prioritise strict hygiene and sanitation. Reusable tools are sterilised meticulously in specialised surgical equipment, minimising any risk of infection. Additionally, disposable materials and individually packaged tools are used and opened in the client’s presence, ensuring complete safety and peace of mind. We use surgical packs to keep our sterilised tools that help further desinfection and safety. This level of hygiene control is something that at-home or freelance treatments cannot guarantee.
