We women constantly monitor our face, hair, hands and so often forget that our legs also need regular care. Indeed, they are often subjected to constant adverse effects of uncomfortable and tight shoes. A high unstable hairpin creates an additional load on them. Therefore, it is so important to care for them correctly and regularly. And the hardware pedicure will help us with this. Reviews of women about him are mostly positive. So let's figure out how this procedure differs from the usual pedicure and whether it is possible to do it at home. This is what will be discussed in this article.
History of Hardware Pedicure
Hardware pedicure, reviews of which you will find in my article, appeared in Russia relatively recently. It turns out that in Europe this method has been known for over 40 years. He first appeared in Germany. This happened when the German company Gerlach risked introducing the achievements of 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, in this process, water is not needed at all. But how to do hardware pedicure will be discussed below.
Stages of the procedure
Now consider the main stages of this method of foot care:
- Softening the skin of the feet with special compounds. To do this, you only need to apply the product on the skin of the legs and withstand the time specified in the instructions.
- Foot treatment with a special grinding nozzle.
- Processing the skin around the nail and cuticle with a round nozzle.
- Cutting the cuticle with a small nozzle.
- Correction of the length of nails with the help of nippers.
- Grinding nail plates using a white stone nozzle. Be careful, it is easy to get a microtrauma at this stage.
- Removing the remnants of the softening composition from the skin of the feet with a napkin.
On this you can finish the hardware pedicure. Reviews of women using this type of foot care indicate that after the procedure there remains a pleasant feeling of lightness and comfort. After the session, 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 advantages. So, they are as follows:
• hygiene due to lack of water during its implementation;
• security;
• lack of discomfort and pain during the procedure;
• the smoothness effect of the skin lasts longer than with a classic pedicure;
• solving such problems as “ingrown toenail”, thickening of the nail plate, corns;
High price is the only minus
By cons can be attributed only the cost of the procedure. A hardware pedicure, the prices of which in various salons vary from 1300 to 2000 rubles, costs much more than its classic counterpart. Here you can recommend buying a device for a home hardware pedicure and doing this procedure at home. Maybe the first time you will not succeed. But a little time and patience, and you can brag about your well-groomed legs.
To summarize
Thus, we found out that it is quite possible to do hardware pedicures at home. Reviews of women who tested this method indicate that the procedure did not cause great difficulties. However, do not forget that equipment can sometimes fail. Therefore, be extremely careful. If you are not sure that you can do everything correctly and accurately, then it is prudent to entrust this matter to professionals.
