How to choose a pedicure machine: 7 tips from a podologist

Doing hardware pedicures at home on your own, without visits to beauty salons - is an incredibly attractive solution. In addition to the benefits and relative simplicity of the procedure, there is another plus - saving! Spend money on a machine for hardware manicure and pedicure only once. And then you can use it with might and main, getting salon care. Is it so? Manicure device can now be bought without problems of any brand and at affordable prices.

The difference between a home hardware pedicure and a professional

In fact, they are no different. But only if you follow 2 conditions.

1. Mastering the technique. We recommend that you carefully read the instructions that come with each set of equipment for pedicure at home. From it you can learn a lot of useful things: for example, at what speed it is necessary to process certain areas, which nozzles are suitable for nails, polishing heels and corns. It will not be superfluous to watch a video on how to perform the procedure in salons, to get acquainted with the experience of the masters. The more theory you learn at first, the more useful your pedicure device will be for you at home.
2. Purchase of additional milling cutters. Not a single pedicure device, reviews of which characterize it as high-quality and effective, does not contain a complete set of necessary nozzles. Since all models are universal, that is, created for a wide range of consumers, they are equipped with universal nozzles. Basically, this is a couple of cutters for the feet and the same for the hands. Therefore, do not be stingy at once to purchase additional milling cutters: for heels it is better to use diamond mills, for corns - ceramic, and the nails themselves should be polished with silicone.

7 rules of choice. Which car is better

1. You do not need a high-performance salon device (not to be confused with a professional one). These are always large in size, thanks to the enlarged case, they include a vacuum cleaner that sucks in particles of skin and nails and is protected from overheating. But these functions are important if this device works from morning to night and serves dozens of clients every day! A professional manicure and pedicure machine will suit you. How to choose it and what is the name of a good machine? Pay attention to compact models from well-known manufacturers. Among such brands are ROWENTA (for example, model MP-7010 F0), Vitek (device SPА VT-2209), Zepter (device Vital System). Well proven machines Victory, Strong.
2. The device should be lightweight. Cumbersome handling will be inconvenient, hands will get tired. Its optimal weight without a power supply should be 150-200 g.
3. The diameter of the handle is small so that it can be firmly in the palm of your hand. This is important for controlling the intensity of impact on the feet, because excessive pressure can injure the skin and nails.
4. Convenient cord of medium length. It will not be confused during use.
5. Pay attention to devices with a power of 35 watts or more. Less powerful devices will do well with manicure, but when you try to polish rough skin of the feet, these quickly overheat and turn off. Good machines rotate cutters at a speed of 35 thousand revolutions per minute, which ensures high-quality skin cleansing and ease of processing of nails. More powerful devices (up to 50 watts) make about 50 thousand revolutions per minute. Experienced pedicure practitioners who practice customer service at home prefer to work with such people.
6. Clarify the ability to control nozzle rotation speed. This is extremely important while you are just learning how to do hardware pedicures. In order not to harm yourself at first, use gentle modes. After mastering the technique, you can work quite professionally.
7. Specify the type of attachment of cutters. Wizards choose devices in which nozzle changes are made as quickly as possible. In such cases, it is enough to crank the cutter head, and it can be easily removed. In budget models, a special key must be used to change the milling cutter. This does not affect the operation parameters, it is about convenience. Of course, in a salon, it is extremely tiring to change the cutters with a key (after all, for one procedure you have to use 5-6 nozzles). But for a home, this may not seem so important ...

Rules for use and care of the machine

When the issue of choosing a pedicure machine has been resolved, care should be taken to use it correctly. To serve for a long time, follow these tips.

• Avoid pressure on the foot during operation. So you can damage the skin and the device itself. Most often, the handle head bends, which makes its use extremely difficult. Since each device is designed for gentle and effective exposure, physical force should not be applied.
• Carefully change nozzles. Be sure to use the key, if one is offered in the kit. Try not to damage the mount, otherwise you will have to part with the device.
• If you use a home pedicure machine with a vacuum cleaner, you do not need to clean it. If there is no impurity blowing, take care to remove particles of skin and nails from the handle and cutters.
