Traditional Pedicure vs. Medical Pedicure vs. Enzymatic Peel Medi Pedi: What’s the Difference?


When it comes to foot care, there are a variety of treatments available, each with its own benefits. At FeetFlow Clinic, we offer three types of pedicure treatments: Traditional Pedicure, Medical Pedicure, and Enzymatic Peel Medi Pedi. In this blog, we will explore the differences between these treatments, so you can make the best choice for your feet.

What is a Traditional Pedicure?

A traditional pedicure is a popular cosmetic treatment aimed at enhancing the appearance of your feet and nails. It focuses on nail trimming, shaping, polishing, and exfoliating the skin. While it provides a relaxing experience and makes your feet look good, it does not address any medical issues that may be affecting your feet, such as ingrown toenails or fungal infections.

Key Features of a Traditional Pedicure:

  • Cosmetic Treatment: Primarily designed to improve the appearance of your feet, including nail care and skin exfoliation.

  • Relaxing Experience: Offers a soothing experience that leaves your feet feeling pampered and refreshed.

  • Nail Care and Polish: Nails are shaped and polished, and any dry or rough skin is removed using scrubs or pumices.

Ideal For: People looking for a quick, relaxing treatment to maintain the appearance of their feet, but without addressing medical conditions.

A medical pedicure goes beyond the cosmetic. Performed by a Foot Health Practitioner (FHP), this treatment focuses on the overall health of your feet, addressing common foot health issues like ingrown toenails, fungal infections, calluses, and corns. Unlike a traditional pedicure, a medical pedicure is designed to treat both cosmetic and medical foot conditions, ensuring long-lasting foot health.

Key Features of a Medical Pedicure:

  • Therapeutic and Cosmetic: Combines medical care with cosmetic nail care to improve foot health and appearance.

  • Treatment for Foot Health Issues: Specifically targets issues like ingrown toenails, fungal infections, calluses, and cracked heels.

  • Performed by a Certified Foot Health Practitioner: Only qualified practitioners perform this treatment using sterilized, medical-grade tools.

Ideal For: People with foot health issues, athletes, or anyone seeking more than just cosmetic foot care.

What is an Enzymatic Peel Medi Pedi?

An enzymatic peel medi pedi offers a luxury foot care experience that combines deep exfoliation with medical-grade treatments. Unlike traditional pedicures or even medical pedicures, the enzymatic peel medi pedi uses natural enzymes, such as papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple), to exfoliate the skin gently. This treatment is ideal for people dealing with dry skin, calluses, athlete's foot, or rough patches, and it also helps rejuvenate the skin, making your feet soft and revitalized.

Key Features of an Enzymatic Peel Medi Pedi:

  • Deep, Gentle Exfoliation: Uses natural fruit-based enzymes to break down dead skin without being abrasive.

  • Hydration and Skin Rejuvenation: The enzymes also enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leaving your feet soft and nourished.

  • Targeted Treatment for Skin Conditions: Helps treat conditions like athlete’s foot, dry skin, and calluses without the harsh effects of chemical peels.

Ideal For: People with dry, cracked skin, calluses, athlete’s foot, or those seeking a luxurious and therapeutic foot treatment.



Which Treatment is Right for You?

  • Traditional Pedicure: Choose this treatment if you want cosmetic foot care to maintain the appearance of your nails and skin, without addressing medical issues.

  • Medical Pedicure: If you're dealing with ingrown toenails, fungal infections, calluses, or other foot health concerns, a medical pedicure is the best option for both cosmetic improvement and health benefits.

  • Enzymatic Peel Medi Pedi: For deep exfoliation, hydration, and relief from conditions like athlete's foot and dry skin, the enzymatic peel medi pedi offers a luxury foot care experience that revitalizes and nurtures your feet.

At FeetFlow Clinic, we provide all three treatments to ensure your feet receive the care they deserve. Whether you're dealing with foot health issues or simply want to pamper your feet, our expert practitioners are here to help you make the best choice for your needs.
