Foot Files FAQs

Should I choose an electronic or a manual foot file?

Choosing between an electronic and manual foot file comes down to personal choice. Electronic files do most of the work for you. They do the job quickly and are easy to use. Manual files give you full control over pressure and do not require batteries or electricity. Both electronic and manual foot files are designed to remove hard, rough skin effectively.

Can I use the Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File in the shower?

Yes, you can use the Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File in the shower. It’s waterproof and designed for wet or dry use.

How long does the Pedi Perfect battery last?

The Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File is rechargeable. Expect it to last up to 90 minutes on a full charge.

How often should I use a foot file?

Most people can maintain smooth feet by using a foot file once a week. You may choose to use a foot file twice a week if you have extra thick skin and calluses. Some people find that using a foot file every two or three weeks is adequate for their needs. Filing too often can irritate the skin. The Callus Remover Gel Kit is designed for use once a week.

When should I replace my foot file roller heads?

Replace foot file roller heads when they wear down and are no longer effective. NanoTech Roller Replacement Heads are available for the Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File.

How does the Callus Remover Gel Kit work?

The Fast Acting Callus Remover Gel Kit works in two ways. You first apply the exfoliating gel. The formula breaks down hard, callused skin in under 5 minutes. Then, you can use the included foot file to buff away the softened dead skin.

Does using a foot file hurt?

A foot file should not hurt when used correctly. Use light pressure and stop if your skin feels sore or tender. The Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File features Pressure Lock Technology to help keep exfoliation controlled.

Should I moisturize after using a foot file?

Yes, it’s best to moisturize after using a foot file. Filing removes the rough outer layers of skin. It’s important to hydrate the new, fresh skin that emerges after exfoliating. 

Can I use a foot file on cracked heels?

You may be able to gently buff rough skin around cracks, but do not file directly on skin that is cracked open, bleeding or irritated. Let deep cracks heal with repairing and moisturizing foot creams and balms.

Is a foot file safe if I have diabetes?

If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or reduced feeling in your feet, talk with a doctor or podiatrist before using a foot file. 

Choosing a Foot File for Smoother, Softer Feet

It’s common for thick, rough skin to build up your heels and the soles of your feet. Unlike most areas of the skin, the soles of the feet don’t produce oil and because the skin on the soles is quite thick, it can become rough and hard to the touch. The feet are also subjected to a considerable amount of pressure when walking, running and standing. When thickened, dry skin experiences too much pressure, cracks can form. Hard, rough skin on your heels and soles can gradually build up before you have a chance to realize it. Over time, thickened skin can also become discolored, and calluses can form. Rough, irregular skin can be comfortable. You may notice that your feet snag on socks or carpet. Foot files are designed to gently remove excess buildup of dead skin, leaving feet smoother and softer. Exfoliation with a foot file can also help creams and lotions work better because they don’t have to penetrate through layers of dead skin. Regular filing can also help keep calluses from becoming problematic, and it can also reduce the risk of cracks forming. Dr. Scholl's foot files offer several ways to file your feet at home. 

Electronic foot files are easy to use and do most of the work for you. The Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File uses NanoTech Roller Heads with two speeds: an ultra roller for tough skin and a fine roller for smoothing and polishing. Pressure Lock Technology helps keep exfoliation safe and controlled. This electronic file is waterproof, making it suitable for both wet and dry use. It’s rechargeable and lasts up to 90 minutes on a single charge. When the rollers wear down, you can purchase NanoTech Roller Replacement Heads. Regularly replacing the roller heads will help keep the tool working like new.

If you need a compact option that you can easily throw in your handbag, consider The Callus Remover Electronic Foot File. It features a roller head that automatically rotates 360 degrees to buff away tough, callused skin as it glides over your feet. It works well for both men and women. Batteries are included, so it’s ready to use right out of the box.
