Advanced Pedicure Menu

Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Dérmica offers an advanced pedicure menu to address foot health concerns. Our treatments are designed to provide you with the benefits of a traditional service, coupled with our treatment approach.

To begin with, we’d like to point out that we do pedicures on other concerns as well, such as plantar’s warts, bunions, and so on. On the whole, we tend to treat most common concerns with a Classic pedicure. However, our advanced pedicure or pedícare menu includes specific treatments for ingrown nails, and nail fungus. In the event that you have a concern not addressed in the specialty menu, attach a note to your Classic pedi booking.

PEDÍCARE MENU

NAIL FUNGUS

Nail fungus does not heal itself. Unless you remove as many of the ideal conditions (e.g. humidity, darkness, warm temperature, and nutrients) fungus will continue to thrive.

If left untreated, not only will it cause odour, it will also start to mutate.

Anti-Fungal Tx Pedícare

Price: $125

Timing: Up to 1hr 45min

Fungal growth on your nails can lead to discomfort, deformities, and discolouration. Infected nails are treated to help prevent transmission and further complications.

Your nail care treatment plan will require follow-up service and use of the anti-fungal solution and home care instructions provided with your service.

Includes aftercare: anti-fungal drops.

INGROWN NAILS

An ingrown toenail is caused by an overgrowth of nail along the side of the nail. Consequently, this condition creates pressure which can lead to swelling, a lot of pain, and even infections.

The extra growth can be attributed to factors such as incorrect nail cutting, trauma, or genetics.

Ingrown Nail Pedícare

Price: $125

Timing: Up to 1hr 45min.

Ingrown toenails can cause discomfort and lead to infection when left untreated. Pressure is relieved by clearing debris and carefully trimming the ingrown portion of your nail.

A specialized nail brace is secured onto the affected nail to help guide the toenail as it grows and prevents it from back in the tissues of the nail wall.

Includes aftercare: nail softening solution.

Fingernail Fungus

Fingernail fungus

What causes nail fungus?

Fingernail fungus, also knows as onychomycosis, is pretty common in the feet but can occur in the fingernails as well. For the most part its harmless but it does change the appearance of the nail.

They begin to look unsightly and not very esthetically pleasing. The fungus can cause the nail to become really thick yet brittle, and separated from the nail bed. At this point you see major discolouration ranging from yellow to black.

Fingernail fungus can also affect the future growth of the nail. If the area was traumatized enough, the nail may not grow back normally afterwards even once the fungus is gone.

Most commonly people get nail infections because they get exposed to the fungus after some type of injury, such as cutting the nail improperly or having a tool shoved underneath the nail. In addition, certain illnesses like diabetes can cause a person to be more prone to fungal infections.

Treatment

An anti-fungal treatment where your nail is trimmed down and treated will help remove the fungus. You should receive an anti-fungal agent that you apply post treatment.

Post care

bruised nail trauma

Anti-fungal drops. Also, it is important to wash your hands and keep your nails clean underneath and short if possible. Try not share nail clippers or if you’re going for services at a spa just make sure the equipment and tools are clean and disinfected. Nail files should not be shared.
