Danger a Foot

Dr. Sara Bouraee’s Foot Fixer

Ever been lying in bed and decide to gently caress your special person’s leg with your foot — only to be rebuffed with horror and indignation: Get that nasty thing away from me!

No? No matter. Imagine a situation in which no ordinary pedicure will do the job.

Dr. Sara Bouraee’s hoof treatment will fix it. Like a facial for the foot, it starts with a sterile saline bath to soften rawhide-like skin; then calluses are removed. Aluminum oxide manual dermabrasion further banishes scaly bits and smooths funky toenails. The whole procedure is finished up with an alpha hydroxy acid moisturizing treatment with phytol — which increases skin barrier regeneration.

Not the most relaxing experience in the world, but it’s the best way to get back on track.

And to ensure things don’t get out of hand.

Available at Dr. Sara Bouraee, 255 South 17th Street, suite 300 (215-546-1715 or drsarabouraee.com).
