Pododisc for pedicure
Quick guide: Pododisc is a professional pedicure tool with a support disc and replaceable abrasive files. It is useful for working on dry skin, calluses and foot finishing in a more organised, hygienic and controlled way than tools without replaceable abrasives.
What is Pododisc used for?
Pododisc fits onto a nail drill and uses replaceable abrasive discs. The support remains stable, while the adhesive file is changed for each client and stage of the treatment. This helps maintain hygiene, control and precision in professional pedicures.
How to choose the size
Disc size affects the working area. A small disc is useful for narrow, hard-to-reach areas; a large disc works faster on larger areas such as the heel and sole.
- Pododisc Expert XS 10 mm: for small areas, details and hard-to-reach spots.
- Pododisc Expert S 15 mm: a compact size for controlled work.
- Pododisc Expert M 20 mm: a versatile size for frequent salon use.
- Pododisc Expert L 25 mm: for larger areas and faster work.
How to choose the grit
Grit determines how the disc works on the skin. Choose according to skin thickness, sensitivity and the treatment stage.
- 100 grit: coarser, useful on thicker skin or where greater abrasion is needed.
- 180 grit: medium, versatile for professional pedicures and controlled finishing.
- 240 grit: gentler, suitable for final finishing or more sensitive skin.
Pododisc refills
Refills let you replace the abrasive surface between clients or between stages of a treatment. They are practical for salon use, helping maintain hygiene and an efficient workflow.
- Pododisc S refills, 100 grit: size S, with greater abrasiveness.
- Pododisc M refills, 100 grit: size M, for more intensive work.
- Pododisc L refills, 180 grit: size L, medium grit.
- Pododisc L refills, 240 grit: size L, for a gentler finish.
- Pododisc S refills, 240 grit: size S, for controlled finishing.
When to use XS, S, M or L
- XS: details, small areas and hard-to-reach areas.
- S: controlled work on medium-sized or sensitive areas.
- M: a balanced size for most treatments.
- L: heels, soles and larger areas.
Recommended working sequence
- 1. Assess the skin: its thickness, sensitivity and the areas to be treated.
- 2. Choose the size: small for detailed work, large for broader areas.
- 3. Choose the grit: 100 for a stronger abrasive action, 180 for versatile work, 240 for finishing.
- 4. Use controlled movements: avoid excessive pressure and staying in one place for too long.
- 5. Replace the refill: maintain hygiene and treatment quality.
Pododisc and salon hygiene
The professional advantage of the Pododisc system is its replaceable abrasive files. The holder should be handled and sanitised according to the salon's protocol, while the abrasive surface is changed as needed. This helps keep treatments organised and professional.
Mistakes to avoid
- Using a grit that is too coarse for sensitive skin.
- Pressing too hard instead of letting the disc do the work.
- Staying in one spot, causing heat or discomfort.
- Using a disc that is too large for a small area.
- Failing to replace the refill when it loses effectiveness.
- Confusing the treatment stage with the finishing stage.
