Professional Foot Care

What is
Podiatry?

Expert, medical-grade foot care for your health, comfort, and confidence — in a calm studio setting.

Podiatry

More than a pedicure

Podiatry is the professional, medical treatment of the feet and nails. It goes well beyond cosmetic pedicures — trained podiatrists diagnose and treat a wide range of foot conditions, from nail disorders and calluses to ingrown nails and fungal infections.

In Austria, podiatry is a regulated profession. Petra is a licensed podiatrist with over ten years of experience treating clients of all ages, including those with diabetes, circulatory conditions, or particularly sensitive feet.

Whether you're dealing with a persistent foot issue or simply want expert care, a podiatry session at Silky Skin leaves your feet genuinely healthy — not just temporarily presentable.

When should you see a podiatrist?

01
Thickened or discolored nails

Changes in nail texture, color, or thickness can indicate fungal infection or other nail conditions best treated early.

02
Ingrown nails

Painful, red, or swollen nail edges — especially on the big toe — should be treated professionally rather than cut at home.

03
Persistent calluses or corns

Hard skin that keeps returning despite home care, or causes pain when walking, needs targeted podiatric treatment.

04
Foot pain

Regular pain in the heel, ball of the foot, or toes may have treatable causes — a podiatrist can assess and advise.

05
Diabetes or poor circulation

People with diabetes or circulatory conditions should see a podiatrist regularly for preventive care and to avoid complications.

06
Just due for proper care

You don't need a specific problem to benefit from podiatry. Regular professional care keeps your feet healthy and comfortable long-term.

What to expect

01
Assessment

We begin with a brief assessment of your feet, nails, and any concerns you'd like to address. For new clients, this also includes a short health questionnaire.

02
Preparation

Your feet are cleaned and softened with a warm foot bath or professional preparation products, depending on the treatment.

03
Treatment

Using sterile, professional instruments, we carry out the full treatment — nails, hard skin, cuticles, and any specialist care needed. Everything is done with precision and care.

04
Finishing & aftercare

Your feet are finished with nourishing products and we'll give you personalized aftercare advice and recommendations for home care between sessions.

Frequently asked questions

No — podiatry is a regulated health profession focused on the medical treatment of feet and nails. A podiatrist uses professional instruments and techniques that go well beyond cosmetic pedicures, and can treat conditions like fungal infections, ingrown nails, and diabetic foot care.
Most podiatry treatments are completely painless. Callus removal and nail care are gentle. If you have a painful ingrown nail or infection, we take great care to minimize any discomfort throughout the treatment.
For general maintenance, most people benefit from a session every 6–8 weeks. Those with diabetes, nail conditions, or specific foot problems may benefit from more frequent visits. We'll give you a personalized recommendation after your first session.
In Austria, medical podiatry treatments may be partially covered depending on your health insurance and whether you have a referral from your doctor. We recommend checking with your Krankenkasse in advance.
