Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic treatment for the skin of the feet and toenails. The proposed method of pedicure and manicure can be used both in beauty salons and in everyday life.

From the prior art patent No. 2658432 "Technique for performing dry manicure and pedicure" is known (Published on June 22, 2018 bull. No. 18). EFFECT: safe processing of cuticles and lateral ridges when performing dry manicure and pedicure. The claimed method for performing dry manicure and pedicure consists in treating the hands with a skin antiseptic, then treating the free edge of the nail, then removing the pterygium, then proceeding to the stage of processing the periungual skin ridges and processing the cuticle, then performing the stage of processing the skin on the fingers or toes, while the file is glued at a distance of 1 mm - 1.5 mm above the base, so that the thin free edge of the file is provided to work out the zone of the rear upper roller, where it passes into the lateral roller, while preliminarily raising the cuticle with an orange stick and removing the pterygium from left to right or from right to left, thereby lifting it from the entire nail, the stage of processing the cuticle and periungual skin ridges also begins with the processing of the cuticle and lateral ridges with a file by grinding, and after that the lateral skin ridges and cuticle are processed with a 240 Grit file. The tool required when performing the declared technique of dry manicure and pedicure:

- two plastic bases for disposable files;

- one replaceable file grinder on an adhesive base (to eliminate pterygium and

resurfacing of the periungual skin fold);

- one replaceable file with abrasiveness of 180 Grit (to create the shape of a free edge);

- one replaceable file with abrasiveness of 240 Grit (for processing the cuticle and periungual skin fold);

- orange stick (for lifting and separating the pterygium from the nail).

This technical solution was chosen as an analogue.

The disadvantage of this invention is the need to use a large number of tools to implement the claimed result, as a result of which the procedure time increases.

The proposed pedicure method is aimed at eliminating the above disadvantages.

This problem is solved due to the fact that in the proposed pedicure, the skin of the foot is first treated with a nozzle - a disc for a pedicure apparatus, including a rod inserted and clamped in the handle of the apparatus, and a working part made in the form of a disc with smooth edges with a removable abrasive file glued on, in this case, at least two types of nozzles are used - disks of different diameters, and at least two types of files with different abrasiveness, while the processing of the foot occurs at an angle from 1 to 90 degrees with respect to the foot, and the direction of the nozzle is set from the side towards the foot, up or down, in continuous movements with pressing on the foot, then file the nail plate, process the free edge of the nail, then proceed to the processing of the periungual skin ridges and the processing of the cuticle.

The technical result from the application of the proposed pedicure method is to reduce the time of the procedure. Also, a pedicure carried out according to the claimed method is more effective and lasts longer, since the skin of the foot is perfectly polished.

The method of the pedicure procedure involves the following steps.

The foot is treated with any disinfectant or wiped with a damp cloth. Next, an abrasive file is selected for the nozzle - disk (if the foot is rough, a file with abrasiveness from P60 to P100 is used, then it is sanded with an average file with abrasiveness from P 120 to P 180 and polished with the softest file with an abrasiveness from P 240 to P 4000; if the foot is not very rough, the file with abrasiveness from P60 to P100 can be skipped and a medium file with abrasiveness from P 120 to P 180 or polishing soft with abrasiveness from P 120 to P 180 can be used). Next, the selected abrasive file is attached to the nozzle - disk using an adhesive base. The disc attachment is inserted into the handle of the manicure / pedicure machine. The speed is set on the device from 15 thousand revolutions to 40 thousand revolutions (depending on the power of the device and the size of the nozzle-disk.

Nozzle - the disc is placed at an angle in relation to the foot. The angle is responsible for the size of the foot area that the master processes. If the angle is small from 1 to 45 degrees, then a large area of the foot is processed immediately, if the angle is large from 45 to 90 degrees, then the processing becomes point-like (for example, for small corns and hard-to-reach places). When processing the foot, the nozzle - the disc is carried out with continuous movements with weak pressing on the foot from side to side from top to bottom or bottom to top at an angle from 1 to 90 degrees over the entire skin of the foot (Figs. 1, 2).

After the treatment of hard calluses of the foot, a hard, replaceable abrasive file is peeled off and disposed of, or a nozzle - a disc with a used abrasive file is placed in a solution for subsequent disinfection and disposal of the file. For subsequent work, the same sterile nozzle is used - a disc, but with a new abrasive file, then grinding and polishing is carried out with an abrasive file of finer grain size.

Grinding and polishing is carried out with continuous movements with gentle pressure on the foot from side to side from top to bottom or from bottom to top at an angle over the entire skin of the foot. For a more perfect polishing result, you can grip the soft tissue of the foot. During this process, you can use wet wipes or spray with water or other liquid to remove dust.

Before the pedicure procedure, if desired, you can perform marcination (soaking the feet in water) in order to hygienically cleanse the feet or soften the skin. This will not affect the process and the result, but it will save the master from unnecessary dust, since the wet dust from the foot will immediately settle, and not swirl around the master. A keratolytic can be used in place of water, but not required

With a nozzle - a disc of a smaller diameter, you can remove the gel - varnish from the nails, if the client has one, file the nail plate and process the cuticle and periungual rollers. To do this, use a soft abrasive file with abrasiveness from P240 to P4000 and a nozzle - a disc with a diameter of no more than 1.5 cm.At an angle of about 30 degrees in the direction from the cuticle to the free edge, one or three movements are performed with the nozzle-disc, after which, substituting perpendicular to the free edge of the nail, the disk at high speeds, the length of the nail is cut off.

In the same way, the cuticle and periungual rollers are processed with a file with abrasiveness Р180-Р240 for grinding excess skin and pterygium and with a file with abrasiveness Р320-Р4000 for polishing the skin with a nozzle - a disk of small diameter (5 mm - 1.5 cm) (Fig. 3, four).

Thus, the claimed method of pedicure can reduce the procedure time by at least half. The processing of the foot with the proposed method will take about 20 minutes, where another 20 minutes takes the processing of the fingers with the removal of gel polish and the creation of the shape of the nail plate. The specified time is achieved due to the fact that only one tool is used with a nozzle-disk, which has a large area, unlike conventional nozzles, as a result of which, at high speeds of the nozzle-disk, the rough skin of the foot is cut off. Speed is also achieved through the ability to change abrasive files to the desired abrasiveness. Also, the proposed method does not use keratolytics, which take a long time to soak the foot in water.

The proposed method of pedicure reduces the cost of the procedure, because a pedicure requires at least two types of nozzles with different diameters and at least two types of files with different abrasiveness, wet wipes or a spray with plain water, which removes excess dust. For comparison, with a conventional hardware pedicure, you need a lot of expensive tools (for example, rubber holders and caps, heel graters, scrubs, softening keratolytics, creams, etc.).

The result after the proposed method of pedicure is more effective than after a conventional hardware or manual pedicure, since the nozzle - the disc rotates at high speed, as a result of which the skin of the foot is perfectly polished. This approximately doubles the preservation of the result.

With the proposed method of pedicure, the master makes less effort than with the usual one, since the result is achieved due to the revolutions of the nozzle-disk, and the master only needs to guide it correctly. In a conventional pedicure, a pedicure grater is used, with which the master rubs the foot himself physically, as a result of which the process becomes laborious and ineffective.

Since the disc attachment is made of metal, it can be sterilized in dry ovens or any other thermo-sterilizers. Abrasive files, which are glued to the base of the nozzle - disc, are disposable and are disposed of after the procedure.
