About this step

Cleansing and disinfecting

Every treatment starts the same way: the foot is cleansed and disinfected. That is not only a matter of hygiene, it also makes the skin easier to assess. Under a layer of dust, cream or dirt you simply see less.

While Patty cleans, she looks at the position of your foot, at where the callus sits, at the colour of the nails and at spots that are redder or thicker than the rest. Whatever stands out, she discusses with you before anything happens.

At the end of the treatment the foot is disinfected once more, after removing callus and treating complaints. So every treatment starts and ends clean.

The approach

How it works in practice

Why disinfect

Sharp tools are used on skin that spends all day inside a shoe. Working cleanly is not an extra but the basis.

What Patty sees

The location of the callus often shows exactly where the pressure lies. That is the start of all footwear advice.

What you can do

On the day of your appointment, avoid thick cream and remove nail polish so everything can be assessed properly.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about this step of the treatment.

Why is the foot cleansed first?

Because sharp tools are used on skin that spends all day inside a shoe. Working cleanly and disinfected is the basis, not an extra.

Should I wash my feet at home first?

Just as you always do. An extensive foot bath beforehand is not needed; that happens during the treatment if it is useful.

What does Patty look at while cleansing?

The position of your foot, the colour of the nails, where the callus sits and whether any spots are redder or thicker than the rest.
