Diabetes-aware routine grooming
Only on fully intact skin, after a pre-service safety screening.
This is not diabetic foot treatment and not a medical service. It is routine, cosmetic grooming performed only on fully intact skin, after a pre-service safety screening and, when appropriate, with medical clearance. If we observe neuropathy, poor circulation, ulcers, wounds, infection, swelling, inflammation, or color or temperature changes, we postpone the service and recommend seeing a physician or licensed podiatrist.
What is included
- Pre-service safety screening before we begin
- Request for medical clearance when appropriate
- Very conservative routine trimming and filing
- Cosmetic care of intact skin
- A clear referral at any warning sign
What is not included
- Diabetic foot treatment or treatment of any medical condition
- Wound, ulcer, or infection care
- Assessment of neuropathy or circulation
Who it is a good fit for
People living with diabetes, with fully intact skin, seeking very conservative routine maintenance.
Benefits of this care
- A visual check before any skin or nail is touched

What the appointment looks like, step by step
1. Initial conversation
We listen to your history, your discomfort and your background in Spanish or English, without rushing.
2. Visual safety check
We look at the skin and nails. If there are signs of infection, a wound or inflammation, we postpone the service and point you to a physician or licensed podiatrist.
3. Routine care
We work with clean, disinfected instruments, a gentle technique and pauses whenever you need them.
4. Home recommendations
We explain how to keep the result, what to watch for and how often it makes sense to come back.
When you should see a physician or licensed podiatrist
If you have any of these signs we do not perform the service and we ask you to seek medical care:
- Intense or increasing pain
- Redness, warmth or swelling
- Drainage, pus or a bad smell
- Open wound, bleeding or ulcerated skin
- Loss of sensation or changes in color or temperature
- Diabetes with foot complications or poor circulation
