If you’ve ever had a traditional pedicure at a salon, you’re familiar with the warm soak that starts the service. While it feels relaxing, soaking the feet in shared tubs can actually increase your risk of infection and compromise skin health. At Gotham Foot Care, we take a different, medically advanced approach. Our dry pedicure method eliminates the risks of soaking while delivering a cleaner, safer, and more precise result — all under the supervision of licensed medical professionals.
Dry pedicures aren’t just a trend; they’re rooted in science and designed for optimal foot health.
Most salon pedicures begin with a warm foot bath. Unfortunately, even with cleaning protocols, these basins can harbor fungus, bacteria, and viruses — especially when shared among clients.
For clients with diabetes, circulation issues, or weakened immune systems, even a small cut during a soak can lead to serious complications.
That’s why Gotham Foot Care reimagined the pedicure — combining medical precision with spa-level comfort through our dry, sterile technique.
A dry pedicure eliminates the soaking step altogether, keeping the skin firm and intact while allowing for greater accuracy and hygiene.
Here’s how the science works:
Every instrument used at Gotham Foot Care is sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave — the same equipment used in hospitals. Each set is sealed and opened fresh for every patient.
Because dry skin maintains its natural texture, our specialists can trim and file nails with greater control, minimizing the risk of nicks or over-cutting.
Soaking causes cuticles to swell, which often leads to excessive cutting or pushing. The dry method preserves the cuticle’s role as a natural barrier against bacteria, promoting long-term nail health.
Instead of water, Gotham’s medical pedicure benefits include gentle exfoliation, advanced callus reduction, and hydrating treatments formulated for dry or sensitive skin.
This approach prioritizes both cleanliness and results — your feet leave healthier, not just prettier.
A dry pedicure is not only more hygienic, it’s also the smarter choice for patients who want medically sound, lasting results.
At Gotham Foot Care, all Medi-Pedis are performed or supervised by board-certified podiatrists and trained medical staff. You’re receiving care from specialists who understand anatomy, infection prevention, and proper nail management.
Dry pedicures are particularly beneficial for:
Because the process avoids water, it reduces microbial exposure and maintains a sterile environment — something traditional salons simply can’t replicate.
Our dry pedicure NYC service blends clinical safety with luxury comfort. Each session takes place in a medical-grade setting, using podiatrist-approved tools and products designed to support long-term foot health.
You’ll leave with refreshed, healthy feet — without ever dipping them in a single drop of water.
