Description

Calluses are areas of thickened skin that form over time from repeated friction and pressure, commonly on the heels, balls of the feet, and along the sides of toes. When the buildup becomes too thick or dry, it can feel rough, tight, or uncomfortable in shoes.

The HealthyNails™ Callus Removal service is a waterless, comfort-first appointment focused on conservative callus reduction and smoothing—without over-removing skin. We also share simple aftercare tips (moisture + footwear habits) to help slow the return of heavy buildup between visits.

If we notice anything that appears outside the scope of cosmetic foot care, we’ll pause and recommend follow-up with the appropriate medical provider.

Common Concerns We Address

Thick Callus Buildup

Controlled smoothing of thickened skin to reduce rough texture and improve comfort.

Pressure Points From Footwear

Targeted reduction in high-friction areas that commonly feel tender in shoes.

Dry, Rough Heels

Gentle heel smoothing and a hydration-focused finish for a softer feel.

Recurring Calluses

A conservative maintenance approach plus aftercare guidance to help manage repeat buildup.

What to Expect

We begin with a comfort check and a quick look at the areas you want addressed. This is a conservative, waterless service designed to smooth thickened skin without aggressive removal.

  • Prep + Hygiene-Forward Setup We follow a consistent sanitation workflow and use properly cleaned/disinfected tools and single-use items where appropriate.
  • Callus Softening Step We apply a professional-grade softening product to help loosen dry, thickened buildup.
  • Controlled Smoothing Using professional techniques and tools (such as a foot file where appropriate), we reduce callus thickness gradually and conservatively.

  • Moisture Finish Hydration-focused finish with an optional light massage for relaxation.
  • Aftercare Guidance Simple at-home tips to help results last between visits.
