PODO+ – Medical Foot and Nail Care

Dear Clients,

Due to Facebook’s recent implementation of Advanced Protection on both business and personal accounts, I am currently unable to access either of them. As a result, I may not be able to see or respond to appointment confirmations made through Facebook or Messenger.

If you have not yet received a confirmation for your appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly via text at 07568740055 or through Instagram.

I’m actively working on recovering access to my accounts and will post any updates on Instagram in the meantime.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Warm regards,
Mari

This is why toenail protection matters—especially if you’re prone to trauma.

My patient came in with a split, lifted toenail showing signs of infection, including thickening, white patches, and pus—all classic signs of trauma and secondary infection.

We carefully removed the damaged area, cleaned and disinfected the toe, and applied a protective dressing for 24 hours to shield it from dust and bacteria. The toe will be closely monitored over the next week to support safe healing.

If you’re predisposed to repeated trauma, wearing closed-toe shoes indoors can help prevent further injury.
Also—stick with nail polish, not gel or shellac, to avoid sealing in hidden damage.

Early treatment prevents serious complications. Don’t wait—your feet deserve the right care.

✨Mums, let’s talk about verrucas!

‼️ Verrucas are common in children—and easily picked up in places like swimming pools, changing rooms, or even shared bathrooms. They’re caused by the HPV virus, which thrives in warm, damp environments.

How to treat them at home (safely):
• Keep the area dry
• Dab with surgical spirit on a cotton pad to help dry it out
• Cover with zinc oxide tape if possible to cut off oxygen (verrucas hate that!)

Important:
Avoid strong over-the-counter treatments unless recommended by a pharmacist or foot health professional—they can damage surrounding skin and slow healing.

If it’s spreading, painful, or not improving, see a professional for safe and effective treatment.

Prevention tips:
• Always wear flip-flops in public showers or pools
• Don’t share towels, socks, or shoes
• Keep feet dry and clean

Let’s keep those little feet healthy and happy!

A huge 👏 to my brave 10-year-old patient today!
We had to pause the verruca treatment due to some bleeding, but safety always comes first. We’ll continue once the area is ready—health before anything!

Fungal toenail recovery takes time—but every millimetre counts!

In this case, we’ve made just a 1mm improvement on 3 toes in just 6 weeks —a small but powerful step in the right direction.

Don’t wait. The sooner you start treatment, the faster and better the results.
Fungal infections won’t go away on their own—but with the right care, they can be fully treated.

Start now for healthy, lifelong results.

I call it 10 for 10!

When your client can’t pick just one colour… so she chooses 10!
One for every nail, and honestly? We’re obsessed with the vibe!

At Kokoro Studio, there are no rules—just great nails and happy feet.
Which shade would you choose?
