A pedicure is much more than just painting your toenails. This is a whole set of procedures aimed at the care of feet, nails and skin. Pedicure is the health of your feet. The right type of pedicure will help to eliminate cosmetic flaws, prevent the formation of calluses, corns, and provide the legs with an ideal appearance. Let’s find out what types of pedicure exist, how they differ, what their advantages are, and how to choose the optimal procedure for you.
The main types of pedicure and their features
Classic pedicure
This traditional method begins with steaming the feet in warm water with added salts or essential oils. Next, the master processes the nails and skin by hand: cuts the cuticle, removes rough skin with a pumice stone or file, shapes the nails and finishes with varnish application.
Features: effective even for neglected feet, provides quick visible results.
Advantages: affordable and universal method.
Disadvantages: microtraumas are possible if performed incorrectly.
Hardware pedicure
This method does not require steaming. The skin and nails are treated with a special device with different nozzles, which allows you to delicately remove rough skin, calluses and cracks. The procedure is painless and safe, because no sharp instruments are used.
Features: ideal for sensitive skin and problem areas.
Advantages: minimizes the risk of injury, suitable for people with diabetes.
Disadvantages: requires high qualification of the master.
SPA-pedicure
This is a combination of classic care with SPA procedures: aroma baths, peelings, massages and moisturizing masks. Emphasis is placed on relaxation and skin care.
Features: deep hydration and relaxation.
Benefits: feeling of freshness and softness of the skin.
Medical pedicure
It is conducted by a podiatrist and is aimed at the treatment of problems: cracks, ingrown nails, fungus or calluses. Special sterile instruments and medical devices are used.
Features: solves serious foot problems.
Advantages: professional medical care.
Disadvantages: does not have a relaxing effect.
Combined pedicure
This technique combines the classic method with hardware, providing maximum care. Trimming the cuticle is combined with foot treatment.
Features: effective for neglected feet.
Advantages: a combination of the best techniques for an ideal result.
How to choose the optimal type of pedicure?
The choice depends on the condition of the skin and nails:
- For regular care, choose a classic or SPA pedicure.
- If there are calluses, cracks or calluses, the hardware method will be ideal.
- For the treatment of serious problems, you should contact a medical pedicure.
- A combined pedicure is suitable for those who want the maximum result in one procedure.
Tips for foot care after a pedicure
To maintain the effect of the procedure, follow simple recommendations:
- Moisturize your skin daily with creams or oils. Products with urea, almond oil or vitamin E are best.
