Extreme Measures Foot Saver aka The Tips Medical Pedicure
If you’ve watched your feet get into ever-worse shape as a result of aging or even just walking too much because Covid closed your gym (thickening nails, uneven texture, code red-level calluses) there is a pedicure for that.
Tips’ own Naomi Misu and Melissa Pepe have trained in and offer a medical pedicure that I can attest is truly life-changing. (I was rendered speechless by its clock-rewinding effectiveness that borders on magic.)
This medical pedicure can “alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with ingrown toenails, creates toenail enhancements on nails that have been damaged or don’t grow properly, as well as being an ideal pedicure for diabetics, or seniors as the skin is more fragile and requires a different approach and products.”
These could be your feet!
