Calluses and hard skin on the feet are a specific type of thickened lesions caused by prolonged pressure or friction — often the result of wearing ill-fitting shoes. They usually appear as round, hardened areas with a yellowish or grayish tone, often surrounded by irritated or reddened skin.
These are not just cosmetic concerns — when left untreated, they can lead to discomfort or pain while walking, especially in more advanced stages.

This treatment is intended for anyone with hard, yellowish callused skin on the feet. It is also recommended for individuals experiencing pain or discomfort in the soles of the feet due to thickened skin.
A podiatrist removes hard skin and calluses on the feet using tools tailored to the size and depth of the lesions.
Depending on the case, a scalpel, curette, or a professional podiatry drill may be used to precisely smooth and remove the thickened skin.

Whether dealing with advanced calluses or minor skin changes on the feet, removal should always be entrusted to a qualified specialist.
Attempting to treat them at home may cause harm, delay proper healing, prove ineffective, or — in the worst cases — lead to infection.
If possible, avoid doing anything to your feet other than regular daily hygiene. You may apply a moisturizing cream after bathing, but refrain from using any pharmacy products with exfoliating effects.
In particular, avoid exfoliating socks, acid-based peels, mechanical scrubs, foot files, or pumice stones in the days leading up to your appointment.
Contraindications to callus removal may include any conditions affecting blood clotting (such as hemophilia) or diabetes. It is essential to inform your specialist about your medical history before the procedure.
After callus removal, it’s important to moisturize the feet more frequently.
Your specialist may recommend specific home care instructions or products to support the healing process.
Be sure to follow all individual recommendations carefully to maintain results and prevent recurrence.
The results are immediate — your feet will feel noticeably smoother, and calluses or hard skin will be visibly reduced or completely removed, depending on the individual case.
Much depends on your individual predisposition. If your skin tends to thicken more easily, you may experience callus buildup more frequently than others.
The condition of your feet is also influenced by whether you wear comfortable, well-fitted shoes or expose your feet to daily discomfort.
The frequency of callus removal treatments should be determined by a specialist — however, regular sessions are recommended to keep your feet smooth, healthy, and well cared for.
