What to use it for?
To give your legs the perfect look, you need to take care of them. After all, there are a large number of problems that can appear on the feet. Calluses appear on the legs and corns form, heels become rough and cracked, and nails grow in.
A pedicure machine cannot completely get rid of these shortcomings, but it can help improve the appearance of the feet. Visually it looks like a scraper. A sharp blade cuts away rough skin.
The most expensive are machines with blades made of medical steel. They last a very long time, making them great for use in the salon. For those who plan to do a pedicure on their own, simpler options will suffice.
Terms of use
How to use a pedicure machine to make your legs beautiful without getting injured? First of all, it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation of the skin of the feet for cleaning. To do this, you should prepare a warm bath for your feet with baking soda and aromatic oils.
Once your feet are softened, you can begin cleaning them. Now, using the manicure machine as a scraper, you need to clean off the rough skin with confident movements. It is necessary to start cleaning the feet from their edges and gradually move towards the center. It is very important not to press too hard on the skin, otherwise you can remove too thick a layer of skin and get a cut.
When all the excess rough skin has been removed, you need to briefly immerse your feet in a bath of warm water again. Next, you need to blot the skin of your feet with a napkin or towel, treat it with a sanding file, and then rub a nourishing cream into it. If necessary, after the cream has been absorbed, you can treat your nails using tools specially designed for this.
With regular use and provided proper care of the skin of your feet between procedures, very soon, after 3-4 procedures you will become the owner of ideal heels. It is important to understand that the use of a pedicure machine is only permissible if there is a thick layer of dry skin, i.e., with severe neglect of the feet. If you use the machine when the feet are in normal condition, this will lead to the active growth of rough areas.
Do not forget about regular disinfection of tools, which will help avoid the development of fungal infections on the feet. The machine is intended for individual use and cannot be transferred to anyone.
Machine selection
The pedicure machine consists of a handle, a blade and a head that holds it.
The machine can only be used to remove rough skin from the legs. It is not suitable for other purposes. It is allowed to perform pedicures with blades made of medical steel or stainless iron.
We invite you to get acquainted with the most popular companies producing pedicure machines:
Titania is a fairly cheap option as the handle is made of plastic and the head is stainless steel.
Despite their low cost, with proper care these machines last a very long time. Their only drawback is their inability to deal with very hardened areas.
Staleks is a company that produces professional pedicure machines, so their machines are of excellent quality.
The stainless steel used in production allows them to serve for many years. Dull blades are very easy to replace.
Beter is a European company that produces machines with plastic handles and a non-traditional shaped head.
Zauber - the handle and head of the machine from this company are made of stainless steel. The blades themselves are made of titanium steel, thanks to which they retain their sharpness for many years.
Olton - the company produces machines made of medical steel. They are used in salons by experienced craftsmen. Parts require longer and more careful processing, but the machine lasts a very long time.
The machines do not solve the problem, but they allow you to give your legs softness and a pleasant appearance.
Description and purpose of the tool
Visually, a machine for a classic pedicure is not much different from those used for shaving. The device of the instrument can be described briefly, dividing it into several parts:
- blade;
- nail files that polish the surface of the skin;
- the main part to which the attachments are attached.
The main difference from shaving machines is that especially sharp blades are used here, so you need to work with them very carefully. They gently capture a small part of the keratinized skin. The razor is rougher, causing deep cuts and untreated areas on the foot.
Experienced professionals call this procedure a trim pedicure. As a rule, it is included in the standard list of services.

Advantages and disadvantages
The choice of specific items for work is a personal matter for each master, but taking into account the wishes of the client. If you chose a trimmed pedicure out of ignorance, then you can’t do without a machine. Clients attending the procedure are horrified by the appearance of the machine, preferring abrasive files or milling cutters. The machine is indeed a little intimidating, especially if you have no experience of using it before.
Like any other tool, a pedicure machine has both advantages and “sins”. Among the strengths of the device are:
- simultaneous cutting of a large part of the roughness;
- in a couple of procedures, you can achieve an ideal result;
- low cost of such pedicure procedures.
The biggest disadvantage of using a pedicure machine is the possibility of cuts. Through them you can easily introduce an infection or fungus. This trouble usually occurs with newcomers to the business. Professional specialists perform this foot treatment carefully and painlessly. The procedure also requires timely repetition to avoid new, rougher areas of the skin.
