Scholl file

Scholl file

Love for high heels and fashionable uncomfortable shoes is a great challenge even for the youngest feet. Subsequently, the upper layer of the epidermis of the foot becomes more rough, peels off and looks unaesthetic, and there is not always enough time and money to go to the beauty salon. A modern woman needs a fast, radical and effective way to eliminate hardened epithelium on her legs. The solution is - electric file Scholl.

History of creation

In the beauty market, the brand name Scholl has been around for quite a while and has managed to recommend itself as a good manufacturer of foot skin care appliances. The founder of the company is Dr. William Mathias Scholl. Throughout his adult life, he studied the anatomy of human legs and their physiology. William tried to help people with pain in his legs, as well as improve his health through his feet. It was he who initiated the idea of ​​a free examination of the feet, as well as a national week to care for them.

The company does not stand still, and together with the Institute of Medicine it creates the newest devices and products for the care and improvement of legs and feet. Today, the company's products are known in more than 70 countries around the world.

Description

The Scholl electric roller machine has several types and types: battery operated, battery powered, mains powered. There are waterproof, ordinary electric and double-acting nail files that work only on the applied forces. Another created a special set for manicure on the hands and feet. The manufacturer tries to please all women of fashion.

What does it look like?

The packaging is made of ordinary transparent plastic. Inside there are instructions for use. The device has a handle holder convenient streamlined shape. By weight in hand, it resembles the usual massage comb for the head. The body is made of rubberized plastic, pleasant to the touch. On the handle there is a silver ring, which, when rotated, triggers the rotation mechanism.

The color palette includes blue, white or pink body color. Inside there is a black replaceable abrasive roller. Due to its rotation, the cornified particles are eliminated from the surface of the heels and the foot as a whole. The roller is easy to replace if the abrasive layer is depleted and performs its function poorly. Depending on the model, the package has a battery charger. For protection against damages the cover for a roller is included in the package.

How to open?

Behind there is a special opening line. By clicking on it, the consumer can easily open the box without the use of available tools.

Models

As mentioned earlier, there are several types. Some of them:

Scholl Velvet Smooth

The place of production is China. The kit includes instructions, the device itself, 1 roller nozzle, cover for closing the roller. Powered by 4 batteries. Only suitable for use on dry feet, not suitable for other parts of the body. Contact with water should be avoided, otherwise it will break. It has one rotational speed when turning the ring on the handle. Mostly white and blue colors.

There is an analogue that can work both from batteries and from a charger with a USB output for a laptop or desktop computer.

To work you need the usual AA finger-type batteries (one set will be already inside). The manufacturer writes that alkaline and saline batteries cannot be used for this device.

According to consumers, it is better to keep spare batteries, as there is a chance not to finish the pedicure to the end.

Scholl Velvet Smooth Wet & Dry

The model is also being made in China. The kit includes a body that does not allow water, a battery, an abrasive roller nozzle with a lid, a charger with a small cable, and instructions. Zone of use - foot. Easy to use, you can polish both dry and steamed derma, while in the bathroom. The stores are guaranteed 1, 5 years. Body color - pink.

Mechanical with 2 abrasives

The model is made in China. It is a convenient machine-pen with two attached tapes of the abrasive layer of different stiffness. The first surface has a coarse-grained abrasive layer structure to remove heavily hardened and cracked skin. The second side is softer in impact, which allows you to even out the layer of the epidermis and remove small roughness that will not suffer a rough impact.

This is a common sanding file for the feet, so it is not afraid of water.

Scholl Velvet Smooth Diamond

The model is similar in characteristics and configuration with another variety ("Velvet Smooth"). Its only difference is that the processing roller contains diamond chips, so it is rougher and tougher. This helps to remove heavily hardened skin. Keep the device in a dry place to avoid breakage. In addition to batteries, you can use an AA battery.

After opening the box, you need to charge the device. To do this, connect the charger from the kit to a special connector on the handle. Charging is on while the green indicator light is flashing. On average, it takes an hour and a half. Battery power is enough for long daily use without recharging, about 2-3 weeks. If the charger breaks, an alternative would be a 6V power supply.

“Scholl Velvet Smooth” for nails

The device is made specifically for processing nail plates on the hands and feet. The body resembles a pedicure machine, but is half the size. The kit includes 3 interchangeable tips (for filing, polishing and polishing nails). The device works on 1 battery (AA), which is included. For work in water, it is not provided.

It is not recommended to use the file for people with diabetes. This is explained by the fact that the skin of a diabetic is very thin and is recovering for a long time. If wounds are formed, they will heal for a long time and, possibly, fester.

Which is better?

To answer the question, which model to choose for foot care - the usual mechanical or electrical, it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis.

Electric file

  1. The user does not spend much time on a pedicure, as it is not necessary to steam out the feet beforehand;
  2. You do not need to spend forces on friction, she will do everything herself;
  3. Light weight, convenient to use;
  4. Mobility.

Disadvantages:

  1. Having one rotation speed;

  6. No dust, you can immediately wash away the pollution.

Disadvantages:

  1. The user has to spend their own strength on friction;
  2. There is no way to replace the abrasive if it is used up.

Analyzing the above, everyone will choose for themselves a suitable product based on price policy or practicality. Therefore, a clear answer can not be given.

How to turn on?

Before starting work, the device should be removed from the protective cap. To start the rotation mechanism, turn the silver ring on the handle to the left. After that, the video will begin to rotate rapidly. It is this side of the device and you need to handle the necessary area on the skin. It should be done very carefully so as not to damage the epidermis.The softer and smoother movement along problem areas and the foot, the better and more efficiently the dead epithelium is removed.

How to use?

The work of an electric roller file is carried out only on clean and dry skin. There is no need to use any hot baths or gels for steaming, which significantly speeds up the process.

During the procedure, white dust is formed - this is the dead particles of the epidermis. It is important not to abuse the device, you should not process the same place for a long time (no more than 3 seconds), if you overdo it, then the living epithelium is easily damaged. After use, wash your feet with plain water and apply a moisturizer.

When using a mechanical file, soften the top keratinous layer of the skin cover (make a warming bath or apply a special warming cream-gel). Next, the translational movements, gently pressing on the file handle foot.

The manufacturer recommends using a hard abrasive layer first, then softer to polish the surface to a perfect condition.

The Scholl nail file also requires a certain sequence in use. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before use. The device can not be used for very weak, thin and fragile nails. There is a risk of deformation of the nail box. First, using a filler attachment, create the optimal shape of the nails. Next, polish with nozzle number 2. At the end, polish the surface of the nails.

It will be a great surprise, but the procedure can be applied not only to coarse, cracked skin of the feet and the removal of corns. If the hands (from the side of the palm) are also not pleasing with their softness and tenderness, the Scholl file will help here (there are less rigid roller nozzles that are sold separately)

How to change the video?

If during the work the nail file began to poorly fulfill its purpose, then it is time to change the abrasive. To change, use only the same clip. Press the blue button and gently pull it. Install a replacement and ensure that it is well secured and snaps into the apiaries.

How to clean?

After use, the file must be cleaned from the remnants of dead cells that have accumulated in the pores of the abrasive stone. If your Wet & Dry is not permeable, disconnect the roller before cleaning. By pressing the button on the side of the holder, it is easy to reach. Rinse it thoroughly under running water so that no skin particles remain, otherwise your file will become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Wipe the case and all components with a dry cloth. Put on the protective cover.

How to change batteries?

Unscrew the lower part of the device handle to the left side (counter-clockwise). Remove old batteries. Unpack and install 4 new ones. Insert them according to the plus and minus symbols drawn on the inside of the cover. Twist the lid carefully to match the apiary.

It is not recommended to use new batteries at the same time with old ones.

How to distinguish the original from a fake?

Nowadays they make quite convincing fakes for absolutely all products, the Scholl file is no exception. In order not to buy a Chinese fake, when choosing a file, pay attention to the following points:

  • Packaging. When visually comparing, you can immediately see where the real product is. Branded packaging must have the Scholl logo (white inscription in blue oval). Also sometimes different shapes in height and width.
  • Font. Very noticeable different-sized font on the front and back of the package. On the original, it is clear with respect for proportions and indents.
  • Tongue. The original Scholl file is completely Russified, on the packaging, except for the name, there will be no other language. A fake may contain a mixture of English and Russian languages, or even Russian may be absent.
  • Equipment. On each package is written a list of the components of the kit.In a fake may be missing parts such as batteries, cover, replaceable roller. In this package, the contents always match the written list of contents.
  • Abrasive roller. At a fake roller has a smoother structure. The original is tougher, the abrasive is larger and visually looks better
  • Sound. The work of a fake device is much louder. When working, it vibrates noticeably in the hand. This file is quieter and behaves calmly while working with it.
  • A pen. The original handle is rubberized and has a company logo at the bottom. The handle of the copy consists of ordinary plastic, with a small gap at the cover for changing batteries.
  • Switch. The turning ring on and off the file in the original has a distinctive click, it does not have a fake.
  • Certificate of conformity. If you still have doubts, you can ask the seller a so-called certificate of conformity, which is issued by the Russian body RosTest. This means that the device has passed a series of tests and is absolutely safe to use.
  • Batch code On the back of the package next to the bar code, this file has a batch code - a digital code applied by the manufacturer. There is no such data on a fake.
  • Batteries This Scholl has 4 batteries inside, usually from Duracell. A copy also requires a separate purchase of batteries.
  • Button. When a roller is replaced, the process is easy in the original. In the replica there is a moment that the movie is stuck.

If at least one of the items is not respected, then the product is fake.

How to disassemble and repair?

If one day the file has stopped working, do not rush to throw it away. The best and surest way to repair it is to take it to a repair shop, where it will be repaired and brought back to life for a small fee. Before going to the workshop, carry out a preliminary inspection, perhaps the battery is dead or the batteries have run out of power. If this is not the problem, then try it just to be cleaned properly. Often it is uncleanliness that causes breakage.

Analogs

This is a whole set consisting of the skin care machine itself, an abrasive in the form of a circle, a brush, a foot scrub, a bottle with a balm, a peeling serum.

You can purchase such a unit for about 1500 rubles.
  • Mechanical file for a pedicure Zinger. The company has long established itself in the market as a manufacturer of quality personal care products. Means for a pedicure are also among them.

Reviews

About the quality of goods truthful information can be found only from the consumer. Owners of various models of electric roller files Scholl speak about it ambiguously. First of all, buyers note the convenience and low weight, you can take it with you wherever you go, whether it is a vacation trip or a cottage. Also noted is the ease of use and simple maintenance of the device (changing rollers, batteries, battery charging, cleaning).

Most women (as well as men) note that the nail file copes with its purpose, but only on those parts of the arch of the foot that do not have a large layer of keratinized dermis. For "running" cases it is proposed to combine the use of mechanical and electric files. First, with a conventional mechanical file, process the steamed foot, and then polish the already dried foot with an electric one.

This method is not a panacea and will not replace a trip to a beauty salon to a good master. Some of the girls are completely unhappy with the purchase, talking about unjustified hopes and wasted money to the wind. This is due to the fact that a fake was acquired or the abrasive roller was not of the same rigidity. In any case, such consumers recommend using the Scholl mechanical file or its equivalent.
