What would you do if you walked into a high-end nail salon for your monthly pedicure and walked out requiring immediate medical attention? It can and has happened to thousands of women.
Because manicure/pedicure instruments are “communal,” getting manicures and pedicures could increase your risk of contracting a contagious disease or infection such as: nail fungus, plantar warts, hepatitis or herpes. So what’s the solution? “Every time you go for a pedicure or manicure, you should bring your own supplies,” says Beverly Hills Podiatrist Carolyn Siegal. Dr. Siegal commonly treats patients with nail fungus who contracted the infection during a routine manicure or pedicure. Many of these conditions are so serious that a good portion of Dr. Siegal’s patients require numerous follow-up treatments to check for liver damage months after their initial treatment.
To help you to stay safe and stylish at the salon, Dr. Siegal has designed a chic and convenient manicure/pedicure kit. The Savvy Nail Kit is a funky cosmetics purse equipped with your very own personal instruments including: Gold Plated Cuticle Nippers, Professional Cuticle Pusher, Four Way Buffer, Nail Clipper, Professional Emory Board, Custom Toe Separators, Physician Developed Tubliner, Wood Stick, Diamond Nail File, and Pumice Bar.
If you have a nasty nail infection and you need fast and effective treatment, be sure to visit Dr. Siegal. If you want to reduce your risk of infection, go to: www.clshealthyfeet.com to order Dr. Siegal’s Savvy Nail Kit. Kits are also available in select fine boutiques and spas.
