The device acts as a keratolytic tool — it gently removes the thickened layers of skin (keratin build-up) responsible for calluses and corns. By eliminating these hardened areas, it reduces localised pressure points and discomfort while walking. This not only improves aesthetics but also helps prevent micro-cracks that can lead to infections or inflammation.

During the exfoliation process, the gentle mechanical friction stimulates microcirculation in the feet. Better blood flow means improved oxygen delivery to the tissues and faster cellular renewal. This contributes to healthier skin, reduced swelling, and a pleasant warming sensation often recommended by podiatrists for patients with poor circulation or sedentary lifestyles.

Dead skin and calluses often trap moisture and sweat, creating an ideal environment for bacteria and fungi — especially in closed shoes. By removing these dead layers, the device reduces that risk, helping maintain a cleaner, healthier foot surface. When combined with proper hygiene, it becomes a simple but effective measure to prevent athlete’s foot and similar conditions.
