Advantages and disadvantages
Hardware nail treatment, although it appeared recently, has already received a lot of positive feedback.

As for the shortcomings, they are almost nonexistent.
The only hardware technique is not recommended for too running skin and nails, because the nozzles will not be able to qualitatively remove the coarsened epidermis.
It is also undesirable to carry out sessions and people who have a thin nail plate.
Performance technique
In order for the feet to please a well-groomed view, you need to periodically make a pedicure. Hardware processing of the feet is carried out, as a rule, in specialized salons, but if the house has all the necessary equipment, then it is quite realistic to carry out the procedure yourself. Cosmetic session is carried out step by step as follows.
- First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the foot, treat it with an antiseptic and wipe dry. If the nails are too long, you need to shorten them.
- Then on the skin should be applied with a thin layer with a keratolytic brush, it will help soften the foot. The duration of the drug is not more than 10 minutes. Keratolitik actively affects the cells of the epidermis and promotes rapid exfoliation of the stratum corneum. It is best to choose products based on grape or lactic acid. During the procedure, it is impossible to open legs in hot water, as the skin will swell and absorb liquid, which will further complicate the treatment. Before the session, it is enough to simply perform a hygienic bath at a water temperature of not more than +36 degrees.
- After that, the master needs to wear a protective mask and clean the feet from the softening agent. First, a 60 × 60 nozzle with a large abrasive spray is used, it is put on the holder and fixed. The stop must be processed at a machine speed of no more than 12,000 turns. Next is the polishing of the skin of the feet, for this, the nozzle is changed to a small abrasive size 100 × 100. At this stage, it is important to polish the epidermis well, but this should be done carefully: if you remove the skin layer unevenly, you get a “fringe”, and if you “saw”, you can damage the skin.
- At the end of polishing the foot should turn pink with a slight yellowish tinge. All residues of the softener are removed from it. As a rule, this is done with warm water, it is sprayed with a spray. After cleaning the feet, wipe dry and proceed to the treatment of areas between the fingers. Since in these places there is constant sweating and pollution, the treatment should be carried out carefully, using a nozzle with a ceramic coating, which has the appearance of a cut cone. The frieze should work at a speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute.
- Next, the nozzle is changed to polishing fine-grained and at the same speed of rotation eliminate the remains of the stratum corneum from the stop. Feet re-washed with warm water and dried with a towel.
- The next step is the care of the cuticle. A special roller is put on the machine and grinding is carried out with a router at a speed of 10,000 revolutions. It is worth paying attention to the fact that during the procedure the cuticle cannot be cut and moved back, it is simply treated with a diamond nozzle, which looks like a small ball.Cutter gently spend on the cuticle from one side to another, without the need to try to press it. The result will be a smooth and even surface that needs to be cleaned of dirt and sprayed with an antiseptic.
- After this, the nail plates are polished. At the end of the session, apply nourishing oils on the nails, cuticle and feet and rub them into the skin with smooth movements. Next, a felt polishing head is installed and the nails are given a shine effect. Polishing is carried out at a speed of 5000 revolutions.
- The final stage will be rubbing in a low-fat cream and light massage.
Summarizing, we can say that the apparatus pedicure is a difficult procedurewhich requires knowledge of its implementation. Therefore, it is best to trust professional craftsmen. If the session is performed correctly and efficiently, then its effect will be lasting. To increase the duration of the pedicure, the masters recommend at home to daily rub oil to care for the cuticle.
