Description

The HealthyNails™ Geriatric Pedicure is a comfort-first, waterless service designed for older adults and anyone who needs extra time, gentler techniques, and a calmer experience. As we age, routine foot care can become harder to keep up with—especially when nails thicken, skin becomes drier, or flexibility and vision change.

This service focuses on careful nail grooming, conservative dry-skin and callus reduction, and a hydration finish. 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

Dry, Rough Heels

Gentle smoothing and hydration-focused finishing to improve comfort and appearance.

Thick or Hard-to-Trim Nails

Careful trimming and shaping to keep nails neat, comfortable, and easier to maintain.

Callus Buildup

Conservative reduction of thick, dry skin for smoother, more comfortable feet.

Visual Check for Areas of Concern

We observe skin and nails during service. If anything looks unusual or outside cosmetic care, we’ll recommend the appropriate next step.

  • Gentle Cuticle Detailing Conservative cleanup focused on neatness (no aggressive work).
  • Dry Skin + Callus Reduction Targeted smoothing to improve comfort while avoiding over-removal.

  • Aftercare Tips Simple guidance to help results last between visits.

Our Comfort & Hygiene Standards

At HealthyNails™, we prioritize a calmer, cleaner experience—especially for older adults and higher-sensitivity clients. Our practices are designed to align with Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR) sanitation expectations and reflect hygiene-forward training standards consistent with professional pedology coursework.

Need accommodations? Tell us when booking—we’re happy to allow extra time, adjust positioning, and keep the experience low-stress and unhurried.

When to Reschedule or Seek Medical Care

For your safety, we may reschedule or refer out if you have:

  • Open wounds, active bleeding, or a visible rash
  • Signs of infection (warmth, spreading redness, drainage, fever)
  • Severe swelling or sudden pain
  • Any condition your provider has asked you to keep under medical supervision

This service is cosmetic and hygiene-focused and is not a medical treatment.
