Foot Care in Istanbul

Foot care is a cosmetic service that combines toenail maintenance with care for dry skin around the heels and soles. The treatment can help the feet feel cleaner, smoother and more comfortable in everyday use.

The service is planned according to the condition of the toenails, the level of dryness and any visible sensitivity. Foot care does not treat fungal infections, painful ingrown toenails, circulation problems or other medical conditions.

What Does Foot Care Include?

The exact steps depend on the condition of the feet and the services selected.

A standard appointment may include trimming and shaping the toenails, tidying the surrounding nail area and applying suitable moisturising products. Dryness or roughness around the heels and soles can also be assessed and treated with a controlled cosmetic care routine.

Additional services such as foot peeling, massage, permanent polish or polish removal are booked separately unless they are included in a selected package.

Foot Care or Pedicure?

A pedicure focuses mainly on the toenails and the skin around them. The nails are shortened and shaped, while the surrounding area is tidied according to the client’s needs.

Foot care may cover a broader area, including the heels, soles and dry skin. A spa pedicure can combine nail maintenance with peeling, moisturising and relaxing stages.

The appropriate service depends on whether the main concern is toenail maintenance, dry skin or a more complete hand-and-foot spa routine.

Cosmetic Heel Care

Dry or rough-looking heels can be supported with softening and moisturising products.

The aim is not to remove large amounts of skin aggressively. The condition of the heel is assessed first, and surface roughness can then be reduced in a controlled manner.

Home-care advice may also be provided, particularly when regular moisturising would help maintain the result.

Deep cracks, bleeding, pain or signs of infection are outside the scope of cosmetic heel care and should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Foot Care for Men

Foot care is available for both women and men.

A men’s foot care appointment can focus entirely on toenail shaping, the surrounding nail area, heel dryness and general skin care. Nail polish or decorative services are not required.

The scope is determined by the condition of the feet rather than gender.

When Should Foot Care Be Postponed?

A cosmetic foot care service should not be carried out when there is an active wound, bleeding or a suspected infection.

The appointment may also need to be postponed in cases of:

• A painful or inflamed ingrown toenail
• Suspected fungal infection
• Severe heel cracks
• Unexplained swelling
• Significant circulation problems
• Loss of sensation related to diabetes
• A diabetic foot wound

Cosmetic care should not be presented as treatment for fungal infections, corns, ingrown toenails or circulation-related conditions.

Care at Home After the Appointment

After washing, the feet should be dried carefully, particularly between the toes. Leaving these areas damp for long periods may cause discomfort and create an unsuitable environment for the skin.

A moisturiser suited to the skin can be applied to the heels and soles. Toenails should not be cut excessively short or deeply into the corners.

Footwear also affects daily comfort. Shoes that create constant pressure or prevent ventilation may increase dryness and the need for more frequent care.
