Apparatus pedicure every year is gaining increasing popularity among the fair sex. It is characterized by increased safety, and also allows girls to keep their legs in perfect condition for a long period of time. Therefore, a lot of beauty salons offer hardware pedicure services, and many girls prefer to carry out this procedure on their own at home. And in order to make the process right, you need to purchase caps for a pedicure.
Features
One of the leading companies for the production of various grinding caps is the German company Lucas. Its products are of high quality as well as long service life. This company has been manufacturing products for more than 80 years, offering innovative solutions every time. The result of many years of experience are very easy-to-use tools that fully meet the needs of nail masters.
In the production process of such nozzles only premium quality raw materials are used.
The result of serious development was a new series of tips - THERMO. In the process, such a nozzle changes color, warning of the danger of overheating. This technology involves 2 levels of warning about the threat of overheating of the skin, as a result of which the specialist will be able to immediately react, reducing pressure or making a short pause in the work. Due to this, the treatment does not feel discomfort, there is no itching and pain. Minimizes the risk of burns in the event of overheating of the dermis.
The main advantages of Lucas grinding caps include:
- dead skin particles are removed more quickly and carefully;
- enough minimally applied force to achieve the expected effect;
- less traumatic - do not harm the healthy dermis;
- there is no sticking effect of the removed parts of the skin on the sand cap for a pedicure, making it easier to work with a nozzle;
- the tips fit snugly to the holders - there is no risk that they will “fly off” during use, while they are easily removed and replaced.
Main types
Depending on the shape of the nozzle, its types are distinguished:
- hemispherical - different rounded tip;
- cylindrical - have a more elongated shape;
- conical - characterized by a narrowed tip.
Sand tips for pedicure are made on the same principle as sandpaper: an abrasive spraying layer is applied to the textile base.
These tips differ in size:
- large (their diameter is 11–16 mm), they are used to process large and smooth surfaces, without bends and irregularities;
- medium (diameter is 10 mm), used for grinding the dermis of the feet and fingertips;
- small (diameter 5–7 mm) are needed to polish small areas of the skin, for example, the surface of the fingers, or to remove a small corn.
Depending on the grain, the grinding tips also vary.
- 60 Grit - a large degree of abrasiveness. Apply to remove a thick layer of dead skin and get rid of cracks.
- 80 Grit - large abrasiveness. Help to get rid of corns, coarse corns.
- 150 grit - medium abrasiveness.Used to handle not too rough surface of the foot, as well as fingertips.
- 208 or 320 Grit - minimal abrasiveness. We need to finally polish the dermis and the nail plate.
Recommendations for correct use
Please note: if you go to a beauty salon to perform a hardware pedicure, then sand caps for the procedure should be used only once. That is, the master opens the new packaging with a cap while you are in, and after the procedure is completed, he throws it away. In this case, the procedure for the treatment of feet should occur on dry skin.
This element cannot be used several times, since it cannot be disinfected or sterilized: contact with water abrasive spraying.
The reuse of grinding caps that have already been used to treat the feet of another client is dangerous, since skin particles will remain on the surface of this product, and this is a fertile ground for the growth of various bacteria.
If you use grinding caps to make a pedicure yourself at home, then they can be used until the abrasive layer is present.
The procedure for processing the stop is as follows:
- dead skin should be removed using a pedicure cap with a grain size ranging from 60 to 80, with such a detail should be of large diameter;
- then you need to polish the feet, heels and fingers with a product that has an average grain size - 150;
- At the final stage, the tip with the smallest grit is used - 320.
Stopping your choice on one or another version of components for hardware pedicure, pay attention to the condition of your dermis, as well as the technical parameters of this device, since not all nozzles can be combined with a specific model of device for pedicure.
