E-File Dry Pedicure

E-File Dry Pedicure is one of the most popular services. The difference between a E-File Dry Pedicure and another type of pedicure is that the e-file dry pedicure delicately takes extra care when treating the cuticle area. To perform this service, it is used an electric nail shaper with different types of drills depending on the state of the cuticle of each client. However, it must be taken into account that the execution of this specific technique of pedicure and nail varnish requires additional time of work for the specialist.

Without bacteria-breeding tubs of water, there is no risk of cross-contamination, making it a healthy option and one involving far less exposure to chemicals. It involves the care of the skin of the feet and toenails. And it is carried out by a nail tech in several stages: disinfection and examination of feet, cutting of nails and giving them the desired shape, removal of keratinized skin, corns, corns (with preliminary softening), treatment of cuticles, application of care products and, if necessary, decorative coating of nails with varnish or gel-lacquer (alternatively - with medical preparations).

In order to soften the skin, pedicure technicians used to use only maceration - soaking the feet in warm water (sometimes adding liquid soap to it). However, this type of preparation of the skin of the feet for pedicure today is not the best option. Moreover, it has quite a few contraindications, here are just a few of them: pregnancy, feet with fungal skin or nail infections. For such clients was invented dry pedicure with using keratolytics to exfoliate dead skin cells. It soften the skin of the feet and cuticles, performing the function of water, though it cope with it much faster and more effectively. Keratolytics cause active loosening of dead epidermal cells, making them easy to remove during the pedicure procedure. When performing pedicures with keratolytics, there is no need to soak the skin in water.
