A. The skin of the nails and soles follows a natural regeneration cycle. Since these are areas of constant daily use, regular care is essential for clients visiting us with problem areas — both to restore normal function and to gradually improve the condition. Even after the problem area has improved, continuing to come in for preventive maintenance will keep your hands and feet in lasting health.

A. We recommend visiting every 4 weeks. For fingernails, discomfort typically sets in between 1–2 weeks; for toenails, between 3–4 weeks — making these the optimal care intervals. For healthy sole skin, the cell turnover cycle is 28 days (4 weeks). As our bodies age, this shedding process slows and dead skin accumulates, leading to dryness, cracking, and thickening calluses. Maintaining the right care interval will help you stay ahead of these problems before they develop.

A. Each visit to our clinic is focused on improving and addressing your current concerns, and maintaining that improvement until your next appointment. For cleansing, healthy skin regeneration, and antibacterial protection at home, consistent product use accounts for over 70% of your overall results. We take care of you in the clinic, and you take care of yourself at home — it’s the perfect partnership for hand and foot health. We’d love to see you each month with visible improvement!

A. When the gel cures and hardens, the toenail beneath tends to curve more sharply as it grows. Under normal conditions, a toenail grows an average of 2–3mm in 4 weeks. If the gel is left on for longer than 4 weeks, the newly grown portion of the nail separates from the skin, loses moisture, hardens, and begins to curl — and the toenail growing from the root can then form along a problematic shape. For healthy toenails, gel removal and appropriate length adjustment should be performed every 4 weeks.

A. A naturally functioning toenail does have a slight arch-like curve — this is normal. However, if the shape is causing pain in any part of your foot, correction is necessary. The arch form serves an important function: it supports weight and absorbs impact. If it is causing pain, that is a problem — and various correction and care options are available. That said, a single correction session will not fully resolve ingrown toenails. Addressing the underlying foot imbalance is the key to maintaining comfortable, healthy feet over the long term.

A. Thickening toenails are not automatically a sign of fungal infection. There are actually many possible external causes — tight shoes, frequent impact, bent toes, a short first metatarsal bone, a pronounced bunionette (tailor’s bunion), or high-impact sports. The correct approach is to visit a foot care clinic at the first sign of a problem, however small, to prevent it from worsening. For thickening toenails, light toenail debridement to reduce them to an appropriate thickness is recommended.

A. The skin on the soles of our feet naturally grows thicker than elsewhere on the body, because it must bear our full body weight. When too much skin is removed during home care, the body interprets this as injury. In response, it produces even tougher skin for protection — and if you continue removing it frequently, this vicious cycle repeats, gradually weakening the skin’s protective barrier function and leading to problematic feet. The natural skin cell turnover cycle is 4 weeks, and we recommend consistent professional care at 4-week intervals.

A. Our toenails serve as a protective keratin layer at the tip of the toe — enabling sensation, supporting gait, and helping to bear body weight. After debridement, the purpose of the resin extension is to fill in the area where the toenail is absent, restoring the protective barrier function. This shields the treated area from external impact and guides newly growing toenail in a healthy, natural direction. If applicable to your condition, we recommend receiving the resin treatment.

A. Every program we provide allows you to comfortably resume your normal daily activities immediately after your visit. As long as your current foot condition is not under severe stress, you are free to continue all of your usual exercise as well.
