Skin and nail care is not merely a matter that is indicated when suffering correspondingly, it is also a
cosmetic matter.
Start with cutting and forming toenails. They absolutely must be filed straight in order to hinder nails
growing into the skin. Micro-fine filing using the sapphire disc protects against ingrown nails. The micro-
fine files with the sapphire disc prevent an ingrowth. Troublesome calluses always develop in the areas
where the foot is over-stressed, mostly the heel, the front balls and the side of the big toe. Treat the callus
using the sapphire cone or even better with the drainage grinder. Repeat this procedure regularly. Under
no circumstances should you take radical measures when removing the callus.
Ingrown toenails can – as needed – be loosened gently using the small cutter. Thick lignified nails can be
ground off slowly from the top and filed thinner from the sides. Crumbly nail areas can also be cleaned
using the fine sapphire cutter. Corns are the painful result of a slow callus process. They are calluses
with an externally hardened part which is soft inside. Remove the upper callus with the sapphire cone
and then work further using the small sapphire cutter. This already removes the pressure. Deeply sunken
corns should not be removed by oneself; they should be removed by a doctor. If skin and nail care are
carried out systematically using the Promed devices and accessories, regular care becomes a positive
experience. The special abrasive wheels are described more closely on the following pages. The abrasive
wheels are available in various forms and degrees of hardness and can be reordered at any time. Ask
your specialist dealer.
Note:
Do not wash your hands or, when applicable, your feet before treatment. A soothing and calming
moisturizer should be first used after treatment.
