We, women, constantly monitor our face, hair, hands and so often forget that our feet also need regular care. After all, they are often exposed to constant adverse effects of uncomfortable and tight shoes. A high unstable hairpin creates an additional load on them. That is why it is so important to take care of them properly and regularly. And hardware pedicure will help us with this. Reviews of women about him are mostly positive. So let's see how this procedure differs from a regular pedicure and whether it can be done at home. This is what this article will be about.
History of hardware pedicure
Hardware pedicure, reviews of which you will find in my article, appeared in Russia relatively recently. It turns out that this method has been known in Europe for more than 40 years. It first appeared in Germany. This happened when the German firmGerlach took the risk of incorporating dental technology into foot care products. Now this device is widely used in beauty salons. It is worth noting that now everyone can buy its simplified version and carry out similar procedures at home.
Differences between classic and hardware pedicure
The main difference between a hardware pedicure and a classic one is the replacement of a water bath for steaming the skin of the feet with special softening compounds. That is, water is not needed in this process at all. But how to do a hardware pedicure will be discussed below.
Steps of the procedure
Now consider the main steps of this foot care method:
- Softening the skin of the feet with special formulations. To do this, you just need to apply the product on the skin of the legs and withstand the time specified in the instructions.
- Processing the feet with a special grinding nozzle.
- Treatment of the skin around the nail and cuticle with a round nozzle.
- Cuticle cutting with a small nozzle.
- Correction of the length of nails with nippers.
- Grinding of nail plates using a white stone nozzle. Be careful, at this stage it is easy to get a microtrauma.
- Remove the rest of the softening composition from the skin of the feet with a tissue.
This is the end of the hardware pedicure. Reviews of women using this type of foot care indicate that after the procedure there is a pleasant feeling of lightness and comfort. After thesession, it will be useful to lubricate the skin of the legs with any nourishing or regenerating cream.
The advantages of this method
Do you still doubt whether to try this type of pedicure? Then I will tell you about its benefits. So, they are as follows:
• hygienic due to the lack of water during its implementation;
• safety;
• no discomfort or pain during the procedure;
• The effect of skin smoothness lasts longer than with a classic pedicure;
• solving problems such as "ingrown toenail", thickening of the nail plate, calluses;
High price is the only negative
Only the cost of the procedure can be attributed to the minuses. Hardware pedicure, the prices for which in various salons vary from 1300 to 2000 rubles, is much more expensive than its classic counterpart. Here you can recommend purchasing a device for a home hardware pedicure and doing this procedure yourself at home. Maybe you won't succeed the first time. But a little time and patience, and you can show off your well-groomed legs.
Summing up
Thus, we found out that it is quite possible to do a hardware pedicure at home. Feedback from women who have tried this method indicates that the procedure did not cause much difficulty. However, do not forget that technology can sometimes fail. Therefore, be extremely careful. If youif you are not sure that you can do everything correctly and accurately, then it would be wiser to entrust this matter to professionals.
