Description

The invention relates to procedures for personal use, namely pedicure, and can be used in professional and individual activities for the preparation and hardware of cosmetic care for the skin of the feet and toenails.

State of the art

There is a known method of performing a dry pedicure from RF patent No. 2658432 with a priority date of May 15, 2017, the essence of which is that after treating the hands with an antiseptic, the free edge of the nail is treated, then the pterygium is removed, then proceed to the treatment of the periungual skin ridges and the treatment of the cuticle. After this, the skin is treated. Tools required to perform the stated dry manicure and pedicure technique:

- two plastic bases for replaceable disposable files;

- one replaceable grinder file on an adhesive base (for eliminating pterygium and grinding the periungual skin fold);

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

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

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

The disadvantages of this method are its complexity for the master, because It is the careful, verified and honed movements of the master with a certain force and a given direction when implementing this method that ensure the achievement of high results during processing, as well as the need to use a large number of tools to carry out the stated set of actions, as a result of which the procedure time increases.

There is a known method for processing a nail plate from RF patent No. 2784918 with a priority date of 02/10/2022, characterized by pushing back the cuticle with a stylus located on the side of the cuticle using pushing movements, then gluing a replaceable file with an abrasiveness of 180-320 grit onto the inner working part of the stylus and cleaning it with it pterygium along the nail plate, performing movements in the form of a figure eight. Next, a replaceable file with an abrasiveness of 180-320 grit is glued to the outer working part of the stylus, they are used to lift and grind down the cuticle in the sinus area and clean the pterygium from under the proximal ridge. Then the stylus is drawn along the nail folds in the direction from the central axis of the nail plate. Next, grind with a scrolling-pushing motion using a stylus or a disk with replaceable files with an abrasiveness of 180-320 grit.

A disadvantage of the known method of treating the nail plate is also the need to use a large number of tools to achieve the stated result, as a result of which the procedure time increases. In addition, when performing a pedicure in accordance with the stated method, a large amount of dust rises into the air, to remove which it is necessary to equip salons with special equipment - devices with a vacuum cleaner, special local hoods and room ventilation systems, and at home - wet cleaning.

The closest chosen method for performing a pedicure is from RF patent No. 2750468 with a priority date of 02.12.2019 (prototype), which consists in first treating the skin of the foot with a disk attachment for a pedicure apparatus, including a rod inserted and clamped in the handle of the apparatus, and a working a part made in the form of a disk with smooth edges with a replaceable abrasive file glued on. In this case, at least two types of disk attachments of different diameters and at least two types of files with different abrasiveness are used. In this case, the foot is processed at an angle from 1 to 90 degrees relative to the foot. The direction of the nozzle is set from side to side of the foot, up or down, by continuous movements with pressure on the foot. Next, the nail plate is filed, the free edge of the nail is processed, then proceed to the processing of the periungual skin ridges and the processing of the cuticle.

The disadvantages of this pedicure technique include the following:

- the complexity of the procedure due to the need to use a large number of instruments to achieve the stated result, as a result of which the procedure time increases;

- the difficulty of carrying out the procedure for the master, because It is the precise, calibrated and honed movements of the master with a certain pressing force on the foot and a given direction when implementing this method that ensures the achievement of high results when treating the foot and nail plate;

- when performing a pedicure in accordance with the stated method, a large amount of dust rises into the air, to remove which it is necessary to equip salons with special equipment - devices with a vacuum cleaner, special local hoods and room ventilation systems, and at home - wet cleaning;

- increased risk of damage to the skin when using the proposed tools when treating the surface of the foot using the “dry” technique;

- limited scope, since pedicure using this technology has a number of contraindications: it cannot be used when working with diabetics, pregnant women and people prone to allergic reactions.

Carrying out the invention

The description of the implementation of the invention can be used as an example for a better understanding of its essence and is set forth with reference to the figures attached to the present description. However, the details below are not intended to limit the essence of the invention, but to make it clearer.

In fig. 1 and fig. 2 presents the sequence of actions for implementing the drug-hardware method of carrying out the pedicure procedure according to the first and second options, respectively. In fig. Figure 3 shows a diagram of the treatment of the foot with a disc attachment for a pedicure apparatus at a certain angle.

Let's consider the implementation of the proposed method using the example of the work of a pedicurist in the Malyugina salon, St. Petersburg.

Before the procedure of drug-hardware pedicure, if desired, you can perform marcination (soaking the feet in water) in order to hygienically cleanse the feet and/or soften excessively rough skin.

The drug-hardware method of carrying out the pedicure procedure according to the first option is carried out as follows (see Fig. 1). The pedicurist (hereinafter referred to as the master) treats the foot with an antiseptic. Next, the master applies a solution in the form of a spray to the foot, obtained by mixing the official preparation - KaneProfessional gel concentrate (contains 10% urea) and water in a proportion of 85% gel concentrate and 15% water. Then the master treats the skin of the foot with a disc attachment for a pedicure apparatus, which includes a rod that is inserted and clamped into the handle of the apparatus, and a working part made in the form of a disc with smooth edges with a replaceable abrasive file glued on, as follows. The 100 grit abrasive file is attached to the disc attachment of the pedicure machine using an adhesive base. The disc attachment is inserted into the handle of the pedicure machine. The device can set the speed from 10 thousand revolutions/min to 12 thousand revolutions/min. The disk attachment is placed parallel to the foot and the specialist uses circular movements to treat the foot - a peeling roll. With this method of primary processing of dry and thin leather, the skin is not injured or overheated, the dust obtained during processing is heavy and does not rise into the air. Using circular movements, the master performs a peeling roll of keratinization on thin and dry skin using a solution with gel concentrate.

When the skin dries, the specialist selectively treats only areas of calluses and thicker skin. In this case, the disk attachment is placed at an angle from 1 to 90 degrees relative to the foot (see Fig. 3). On the machine, the master sets the processing speed from 16 to 22 thousand revolutions/min. 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 treated at once; if the angle is large - from 45 to 90 degrees, then the treatment becomes targeted (for example, for small calluses and hard-to-reach places). When treating the foot, the disc attachment is moved in the direction of the individual pattern of the skin of the feet and with gentle pressure on the foot. Pre-treatment with preparations containing urea, combined with the use of a gentle technique of hardware treatment of the foot, allows you to avoid injuries, damage to the skin, and also reduces the time of the pedicure procedure.

Next, the master begins to use a cream scrub, which contains a moisturizing cream and abrasive particles, for example, a cream scrub from Kane Professional for feet. A small amount of cream scrub is applied to the entire foot, and, avoiding the spaces between the toes, the master rubs the cream scrub into the skin with massaging movements until the cream is completely absorbed. After the cream is absorbed, only abrasive particles that are part of the cream scrub remain on the foot. The master carefully removes the remaining particles from the client's foot using a dry cloth.

After this, the specialist applies cosmetic oil to the foot, for example, foot oil from Kane Professional (a few drops) with final grinding and polishing of the foot with the same disc attachment. In this case, a replaceable file with an abrasiveness of 240-320 grit is used. Grinding and polishing is carried out with continuous movements with gentle pressure on the foot with full contact of the disk attachment with the foot over the entire surface; in this case, the disk rotation speed ranges from 8 to 10 thousand revolutions/min. For a more ideal polishing result, you can grab the soft tissue of the foot. During this treatment, there is no need to remove dust, since the foot is treated using the “wet” technique. This will save the master from excess dust, because... wet dust from the foot will immediately settle and not swirl around the master.

At the final stage, the specialist applies a cream to the feet, for example, moisturizing foot cream from Kane Professional. After this procedure, the skin of the foot is moisturized, nourished, and healthy. The above sequence of actions has no restrictions on use and is suitable for use by people with diabetes, pregnant women and people prone to allergic reactions.

The drug-hardware method of carrying out the pedicure procedure according to the second option (see Fig. 2) is carried out as follows. The master treats the foot with an antiseptic. Next, the master takes a gel containing urea as a base component in a percentage of 5 to 30 wt.%, for example, the official preparation gel concentrate from KaneProfessional, and applies the gel to the skin of the feet.

Next, the skin of the foot is treated with a disc attachment for a pedicure apparatus, which includes a rod that is inserted and clamped into the handle of the apparatus, and a working part made in the form of a disc with smooth edges with a replaceable abrasive file glued on; in this case, a disk attachment file with an abrasiveness of 80-100 grit is used, and the disk rotation speed is from 16 to 22 thousand revolutions/min; in this case, the entire foot is processed by installing the disk attachment at an angle from 1 to 90 degrees relative to the foot (see Fig. 3). 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 treated at once; if the angle is large - from 45 to 90 degrees, then the treatment becomes targeted (for example, for small calluses and hard-to-reach places). The direction of movement of the nozzle is set in the direction of the individual pattern of the skin of the feet and with light pressure on the foot. In this case, only areas of calluses and thicker skin are treated at small angles. With this method of primary treatment of thickened areas of the skin, the skin does not overheat, the dust obtained during processing is heavy and does not rise into the air.

Next, a foam softener containing 35% urea is applied to areas of calluses and thicker skin, for example, the official preparation - foam softener from Kane Professional; exposure is carried out (maintained for a certain time) - 5-7 minutes. The use of films to fix the drug is not intended. Exposure is necessary to achieve the effect of softening rough areas of the foot skin safely and quickly. Foam softener from KaneProfessional affects only hyperkeratosis, it is made on the basis of urea, so it will not harm even those areas of the skin where there is no hyperkeratosis, if it accidentally comes into contact with such areas of the skin. Suitable for use in pregnant women, as well as people with diabetes and allergies.

After the specialist has kept the foam softener on the foot for the required amount of time, he begins to treat the softened areas of the skin: the foot is treated with the same disk attachment with the same replaceable file with an abrasiveness of 80-100 grit. The treatment is carried out with continuous movements with gentle pressure on the foot with full contact of the disk attachment with the foot over the entire surface. In this case, the disk rotation speed ranges from 10 to 14 thousand revolutions/min. If there are cracks, they are treated with the same disk attachment without changing the abrasive file. Cracks are treated at an angle of 45-90 degrees, depending on the size of the crack and the inaccessibility of the treated area of skin. Pre-treatment with preparations containing urea, combined with the use of a gentle technique of hardware treatment of the foot, allows you to avoid injuries, damage to the skin, and also reduces the time of the pedicure procedure.

After this, the specialist applies cosmetic oil to the foot, for example, foot oil from Kane Professional (a few drops) with final grinding and polishing of the foot with the same disc attachment, but using a removable file with an abrasiveness of 240-320 grit. Grinding and polishing is carried out with continuous movements with gentle pressure on the foot with full contact of the disk attachment with the foot over the entire surface; in this case, the disk rotation speed ranges from 8 to 10 thousand revolutions/min. For a more ideal polishing result, you can grab the soft tissue of the foot. During this treatment, there is no need to remove dust, since the foot is treated using the “wet” technique.

Next, the specialist applies a nourishing cream to the entire surface of the foot, for example, nourishing foot cream from KaneProfessional.

The stated technique of drug-hardware pedicure allows you to reduce the time of the procedure by at least three times compared to a conventional hardware pedicure, which requires many tools (for example, rubber holders and caps, heel graters, scrubs, softening keratolytics with a certain time of exposure on the foot, films, spatulas, etc.). Treatment of the foot with the proposed method takes about 15 minutes. The specified time is achieved due to the fact that only one tool is used - a pedicure device with a replaceable disk attachment, only one or two abrasive files, and also preparations containing urea are used, for example, official preparations from the KaneProfessional line. Also, the proposed method does not use aggressive alkaline and acid keratolytics, which require longer exposure time and can also damage the surface of the foot even with slight deviations from the recommended method of application. Preparations containing urea are gentle on the skin of the foot. Trauma/damage to the surface of the foot is excluded, but at the same time the rough areas of the skin are effectively softened. During the processing process, the “wet” technique is used, which eliminates the presence of a large amount of dust in the air; when processing the surface of the foot during such processing, the dust is heavy and does not rise into the air.

In the first half of 2023, 57 clients underwent a hardware pedicure procedure using official Kane Professional products in the Malyugina salon. Of these, 55 clients showed positive changes in the condition of the skin of their feet. For 2 clients, there is a dynamic, but it is less pronounced, since there was no use of Kane Professional products in home care.
