I have 4 areas on both feet that have very tough, painful calluses. Foot Dr used Drummel and Scapels to remove. Is this tool tough enough???? Honestly

Well, I think it would be if you kept up with it. I would buy the roughest rollers they have (that's what I have) and use it every day until your calluses get less bothersome. I have very thick calluses on my heels that used to crack and bleed-so painful! So I used this every day for several days in a row when my feet were dry. I would take a shower at night (or you could soak your feet in water) and apply some GLYTONE Heel and Elbow Cream. I got it on amazon. It's about $40 but it really works. You put this on every night after your feet are wet and put socks on over it. Then the next night (while in the shower and your feet are wet) use a pumice or one of those grater metal things to exfoliate your calluses. Alternate the Emjoi and the cream every other day until you get your feet to where you are comfortable. It may take a week or two but it is totally worth it! The lotion is REALLY powerful and you wont believe how much skin it dissolves while you wear it at night.

I would say it is worth a shot. I use the extra coarse on really bad areas and then wash my feet, cover them with EucErin from the tubs (extra thick) and I can't believe how much better my feet are. You will notice a differeeve after the first use and be pretty happy after several uses which become necessary less frequently.

It will remove any callus, but you might need to order the more abrasive rollers. CAUTION: do not press hard on callus, take several sessions to slowly reduce callous, once you reach a point where you are happy...then just maintain. (The electric callus remover maintains a constant spin unlike the battery operated type that after a while the battery diminishes and the spin will decrease)

honestly i do think it would work. you can get fingernail attachments that almost look like dremel parts and this would give you more of a pinpoint control if the area is smaller. i had to buy the electric pedi because i was using too many batteries. if you are a diabetic i would rather you still go see the dr. to remove your calluses.

The best way to remove calluses on the bottoms of your feet is to use a callus remover gel and a cheap pumice stone, both available at Sally beauty or other nail tech suppliers

absolutely yes yes yes. It helpd me both with my hands and feet. Before urea Revita Derm I used band aids almost on all my fingers, they were so bad with cuts on all fingers, once I started using it on my feet, just the fact that I was touching the cream with my hands when I applied it. All my fingers were cured and the palm of both my hands that were so bad with dry dry scaling skin were cured.

My understanding is that the gel is applied to the pads, first, Then the pad , gel side towards the skin , is applied to the callous.GOod luck, This stuff did not work at all for me. :(Good Luck, DR

I don't think that this is overkill. My dermatologist recommended it to me, and it doesn't always take care of the calluses and cracking, but it is a good product. The key is to use it every day, as with all things. Doesn't smell "girly," either.

This cream helped me with several problems. One of them was from was pain in my foot, from neuropathy. It does help me. I also have cracks in my skin, that burn like crazy. They feel like the sting you have when you have paper cuts. A thin layer of this cream help this also. I believe it's worth a try.

I've use this foot creme for over 2 years. It was recommended in "Readers Digest" by a doctor writing a review. I've found that it softens the foot and makes it easy to clean. I only use after I take a shower and that works for me. It makes my calluses easy to get off with only a short amount of filing. So I recommend this product.

It definitely helps for callouses, but as someone else Artie said the only thing I would do for corns is make them a little bit softer (mostly RIGHT AFTER the treatment). You will still have to treat corns separately, though, and might still have to also file down very large callouses a bit.

Absolutely. I never used it on hard nails, but my calloused feet were very hard and this instrument resolved them very easily. I see no reason why hard nails wouldn't do the same.

oh that's funny. This unit works really good unless your calluses have morphed into a stone age - Fred Flintstone kinda thing, then I'd definitely go with the grinder

That depends on how often you use it & how rough your feet are. I changed mine after 2 1/2 months. I used mine almost every night befor bed & I apply lotion after . I use to use a rasp after shower or a razor to shave off excess skin, but they were too harsh. The skin would grow back thicker. That doesn't happen with this tool.

Absolutely! My feet develop thick calluses, easily and quickly. These rollers are great and keep my feet nice and smooth. I also sometimes use the blue rollers (less coarse) after using these, just to make my feet extra smooth.

If you mean, can it be used on calluses under the big toe then, yes. However, you have to be very careful because the friction generates a lot of heat and it hurts. It takes practice, but at low speeds, it's manageable. I've had it now for over a year and am glad I purchased it. You have to find your own comfort zone and technique. Hope this helps.

Although I am unaware if professionals use it, it is good for thick calluses. It's a good product!

Depends on how tough your feet are. I did 3 workouts barefoot but it started chewing up my feet and made some tears. I had to switch the vibrams and I had no issues after that. The mat also bleeds when wet, so it will turn your feet black. But with all of that said, this mat is awesome.

I wouldn't use a buffing cream with this - you'll likely sand down the grain on the wheel along with your callus and it will be too smooth to use again. I would just use the corse grain for thick calluses and a thin grain for buffing afterward. It's easy to swap out the wheel. Also, I have no idea what these other posters are talking about, you can definitely use this on wet skin. In fact, it works perfectly on slightly damp feet after you leave the shower. Better than on dry feet, IMO.

Get one of the Microplane Colossal Foot Files (be careful your first time) and you will be amazed at how much your feet will change within minutes! Then use the creams for maintenance and prevention. The file is the key to quick success ;)
