SMART pedicure protocol
SMART pedicure is a professional technique using pododisks of varying abrasivity to work on areas of keratosis and smooth the skin of the feet precisely and evenly.
This method is one of the modern professional pedicure techniques and some of its elements can also be incorporated into other foot care protocols, including the MKART pedicure method.
Clean and prepare the feet before working on keratoses and pododisks.
For this step, Balancing Feet Soap from the KART method is particularly recommended to eliminate impurities and prepare the skin before treatment.

Work on the cuticle using appropriate diamond tips to clean the area and remove excess skin around the nail plate.
Different shapes can be used depending on the professional's habits, in particular flame and ball tips.
The choice of abrasiveness depends on the sensitivity of the skin and the thickness of the cuticle: red markers correspond to a gentler abrasiveness, while blue markers are used for thicker, more resistant areas.
