Exfoliates Quickly and Easily

The skin on your feet is 20 times thicker than on the rest of your body, so it helps to do “something special” for the appearance of your feet. The Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File is specially designed with a Micro alumina roller head to quickly and easily remove tough, lifeless skin by exfoliating the foot through a gentle and safe rotating action.

Safe and Ergonomic

This Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File contains no sharp blades, so it’s safe to use, and it has an ergonomically shaped head for easy handling. The roller surface with micro abrasive particles works gently to remove dead skin and leave you with smooth feet.

Easy to Get Started

Insert the roller into the device, making sure it is fully engaged. Insert the batteries and turn on the device. For best results, your feet should be clean and dry.

Simple Operation

Move the unit in regular passes over the dry, dead skin, applying light to medium pressure. Continue with regular passes until the dead skin is removed and your feet feel silky soft. Stop if the skin becomes sore or inflamed.

Moisturize after Use

Wipe or rinse feet to remove any excess dead skin and thoroughly dry feet. Finish by applying a foot balm or cream, such as Scholl Velvet Smooth Daily Foot Cream Moisturizer.

Individualize Your Treatment

Use in successive sessions until your feet feel soft and are free from hard skin. Treatment length is different for each individual and depends on how much pressure is placed on your feet during daily activities, exercise, and the fit of your shoes.

For Use on Dry Skin Only

Do not soak your feet before using the Scholl Velvet Smooth . This will make it impossible for the hard skin to be effectively removed. The device should be used on dry skin only.

Replace Roller Head as Needed

One roller head is included with the gadget. The roller head should be replaced when it is worn and is available for purchase separately. The wear depends on the intensity and duration of the treatment sessions.

Scholl launched this new Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File last year. I always thought it was a hyped product and what is so great about it and that it would never match a pedicure using various tools at a salon.

When I got a chance to try it, I was like why not, let me find out what the hype is about.

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi comes with the main unit, attached roller head (Which can be detached/replaced), 4 AA batteries and a plastic cover for the roller head. So you just need to insert the batteries and get working, that’s it.

My feet never had much of an issue, I hardly went for pedicures as there was no dry skin or cracked heels issue for the longest time. They were always very soft and smooth and even when I went for a pedicure once in a blue moon, the attendant would be like, there is hardly any dead skin for me to work on 😀 However, after the accident and surgery, the skin had turned rough. The feet were not kept on the floor for more than 40-50 days, so there was no blood circulation and they were just straight on bed, so no blood flow downwards. The feet had a lot of dead skin and they had gone completely dry with a new layer formed on them altogether. The first thing my physio told me to do is scrub them well as the feet were slippery with that layer of skin. I scrubbed them 2-3 times in one week for the dead skin to completely go away, I wish I had this product back then, it would have helped a lot.

Coming back to today, my skin on the feet is almost back to normal. I thought this Scholl Express Pedi would not work on me as there was nothing much to come off. I tried it on the entire feet, the heels and edges, the mid portion and underneath the big toe which is usually drier. And guess what? I actually saw dead skin buffing out, the white remnants or powder you see is your dead skin coming off. When I touched my heels and toe, they were like so much smoother. I was shocked, I mean in a good way of course.

It actually worked! Basically, the roller head has sand paper kind of finish and the continuous rotation helps it buff the skin but without any pain. I am going to try it on my mom next coz she has very dry feet and cracked heels. I think it’s a blessing for someone with dry feet and who needs regular pedicure, this will save a lot of time and money. The best thing is it can be carried along anywhere, though it is slightly heavy.

It is priced on the expensive side, but it is available on Amazon at Rs.1101/- 0ff!! Beat that!! At Rs.1749/-,(click on the link to buy) it is a must have and should be tried right now!

My only issue is, I am not sure by when would the roller heads need to be changed, someone mentioned 18-19 pedicures which is decent, but it also depends on person to person and the skin I believe. The roller heads are a little expensive at Rs.799/- when you compare the discounted unit price of Rs.1749/- :p

Overall, I would say, it is definitely a must try! It does not hurt,very convenient to use and carry, a value for money at the discounted price. Highly recommended.
