MEDIHEEL FAQ's

Is this a Natural Product?

Although Elim always tries to use an alternative natural active, MediHeel is not registered under Natural or Organic Products. It is a Medical Pedicure and the steps should be treated like any other Medi-Pedi.

What is the active ingredient in the Callus Removal Tonic?

Sodium and Potassium Hydroxide. It is an alkaline solution and it is therefore necessary to neutralize the skin after application.

Are the products safe for Diabetics?

Yes, all Elim Products are safe for Diabetics, Only clients suffering from Psoriasis, Eczema on the feet or clients using Re-acutan should not use the Callus Softening Tonic.

Can I use the products on my bleeding cracks?

Only avoid the Callus Softening Tonic when cracks are bleeding. All other products are safe to use.

Will there be a sensation?

There should be no sensation when using any of the MediHeel Products.

How do I apply the Callus Removal tonic?

There is an instruction video on Youtube and our website. Make sure you use only cotton wool. Alternatively ask your distributor for the Callus Softening Wipes for easy application.

Do I need gloves?

As this is a chemical and the PH of the product is high, you need to use gloves to protect your hands.

If I experience an allergic reaction or burning, what do I do?

Do not apply water immediately, but rather wash the feet with the neutralizer, keep this on for 2 minutes before rinsing with water. Apply the Neutralizer directly to skin.

Do I need Cling wrap when using the Callus Removal Tonic?

Wrapping the heels in cling wrap will intensify the process. This may be used for extreme cases of cracked heels but is not a requirement.

How long do I leave the Callus Removal Tonic on?

Between 10 and 15 minutes.

How often can a client come for a pedicure or Peel?

For new clients you can book them once a month, for severe cracked heels you can book a client for 3 peels with a 3 day interval inbetween. After a year of MediHeel Pedicures you will see your clients will need less Peeling

How long does the MEDIHEEL Pedicure take?

Depending on how long you spend on your massage, your MediHeel Pedicure should take approximately 60 minutes with a short massage and varnish. This can increase with gel applications or reflexology treatments.

Can the Peel be used on its own?

Yes, this is a great upseller for someone while receiving a facial mask, a manicure or a massage. We do not recommend using the Callus Softening Tonic as a Peel combined with other Pedicure Products. As a Peel, you apply the tonic, scrape, use the pumice, neutralize and apply Foot Perfector.

Can the Tonic be used on other parts of the foot?

Absolutely, because we all carry our weight differently, we all have different problem areas, you can place the cotton wool/wipe with tonic anywhere as long as it is underneath the foot. do not apply it to the ankles or top of the feet.

Can i start with the soak?

No MediHeel works best on a dry foot, if the client has foot odor or bacteria, you may use the Elim Sanitizer or wipe the foot with a warm compress. Ensure the foot is dry before starting the Pedicure.

Can I pour the neutralizer into the water to neutralize?

No this will dilute the Neutralizer and the affect will be compromised.

Can i replace the Pumice with my File and the Cotton with gauze?

We find the foot file is too fine and the gauze too thin and the process has been perfected and it is recommended that you stick to the recommended tools.
