Nail and foot care at the clinic "4. Dimensija”

Curative pedicure

Curative pedicure – prevention of foot and nail diseases, issues caused by external factors and preventive care of the feet and toenails is done by a podiatrist – a highly qualified specialist (medical practitioner). The podiatrists at the clinic "4. Dimensija" work as gently as possible, using podiatry equipment of the latest generation and therapeutic foot care products. We ensure hygienic standards of a medical facility, and therefore high level of safety and service.

Podiatrists’ services are particularly valuable for patients with diabetes, when foot care requires special knowledge and skills, and for the elderly patients, who find it physically difficult to take proper care of their feet and toenails.  Well-kept feet and comfort increase a person's quality of life and emotional well-being.

Taping in Podiatry

Medical taping is an effective method initially used predominantly for professional athletes. However, after proving its efficiency in improving various body functions, reducing pain, restoring joint movement, and more, taping has been increasingly applied in other areas as well.

Taping can help alleviate muscle and joint pain caused by overuse, injury, or prolonged inactivity. It improves blood circulation, microcirculation, reduces swelling, bruising, and aids in the recovery of all types of ligament and muscle strains, as well as in posture correction. It is suitable for both adults and children and has a wide range of applications.

In taping, kinesiology tape is used – a self-adhesive strip made of natural material, whose properties (thickness and elasticity) are similar to those of the skin. When the tape is applied to the skin, it slightly lifts the skin, increasing the space between the skin and the inflamed tissues underneath. This reduces pressure on blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and free nerve endings in the inflamed area. The procedure is completely safe and painless. This method generally does not cause side effects, but if the skin is very sensitive, redness or itching may occur in rare cases. In such instances, the tape should be removed immediately.

The tape conforms to the skin, is thin and breathable, does not interfere with showering or water activities, and does not restrict movement. When applied correctly, the tape starts working immediately, with effects lasting 24 hours a day for about a week. If necessary, the tape can be reapplied afterward.

Our podiatrists also successfully use taping when needed in foot and nail care.

Disinfection of footwear

The clinic's podiatry office has a KLENZ shoe disinfection equipment for eliminating germs, bacteria, and fungi in shoes. During one visit, the client can take care of both their feet and their shoes.

Manicure (for women and men)

Not only does manicure make your nails look beautiful and well cared for, but also help to keep them healthy. Regular manicure can help prevent cracking and brittle nails, as well as promote blood circulation to the tissues around the nails, making them stronger and healthier.

Manicure is a nail care treatment that can be a relaxing and enjoyable process for the client and a creative and inspiring endeavour for the professional, creating aesthetic and well-executed nail designs using a variety of colours and techniques.

Manicure has become an important beauty ritual that helps to highlight and enhance the appearance for both women and men.

Well-groomed hands are everyone's calling card. Now, men are also increasingly thinking about how to make a good impression; a neat haircut and well-groomed nails are the primary things that other people pay attention to.
