Dry Pedicure – Waterless Comfort, Perfect Results

What is a Waterless Pedicure, and how does it work? Waterless pedicure is a technique, where the dry e-file technique is used to remove gel and provide detailed cuticle care. Dry skin is less delicate than the one that has been dipped into hot water and is less likely to split and tear during exfoliation and cause pain and discomfort. Nail bed expands under hot temperature and any gel/polish that is applied will be more prone to chipping once the nail dries and goes back to its usual shape.

How is a dry pedicure different from a regular pedicure? Compared to regular pedicures that mostly focus on relaxation, dry pedicures ensure the safest way of care for your calluses and cuticles. Regular pedicures typically involve scrubs and massages and could be great as a relaxing treatment but definitely not as a professional care for your toenails.

Can a Waterless Pedicure help with dry or cracked heels? Absolutely. Depending on the severity of dryness and cracks it may take a few sessions to get your heels back to its healthiest state. During the soak-in pedicures the skin expands and the technician is at risk of removing more skin than necessary.

Can I get a dry pedicure if I have foot conditions like calluses or corns? Dry pedicure is a perfect solution for removal of calluses and corns. Medical grade electric-file exfoliates the dead skin without damaging the living cells. If the condition is severe, we might recommend seeing a medical professional first. Especially if you have underlying conditions or if you experience pain and a lot of discomfort.

Is waterless pedicure better for sensitive skin? Sensitive skin is usually reactive to certain ingredients in products, especially essential oils. In dry pedicure, we rarely use products like creams, massage oils, or scrubs and therefore reducing the chance of a potential reaction. Sensitive skin usually like cooler environment, not a hot bath.
