What is the primary purpose of treating calluses during a pedicure?

The primary purpose of treating calluses during a pedicure is to smooth and soften the skin on the feet. Calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop as a natural response to friction and pressure, often found on the soles of the feet and around the heels. They can be uncomfortable and may lead to further skin issues if not addressed.

By focusing on smoothing and softening these areas, a nail technician helps to improve the overall texture and appearance of the feet. This process not only enhances comfort but also contributes to the aesthetics of the feet, making them look healthier. While exfoliation is an important part of callus treatment, it serves more as a method to achieve the goal of smoothing and softening rather than being the primary focus itself.
