In the past, when we mentioned “foot beauty”, most of them were still traditional projects such as pedicure, exfoliation, and nail polish.
But now, with the dual drive of technology and health awareness, “foot shape management” is becoming a new outlet for foot beauty. In particular, the widespread use of 3D foot scanners has made foot beauty plans no longer a random skin care, but a truly personalized customization based on “visible data”.
In a word: foot beauty is moving from surface care to structural conditioning.
1. What is foot 3D scanning? Why is it suddenly popular?
As the name suggests, foot 3D scanning is to use special equipment to perform all-round three-dimensional modeling of the feet through optical projection, laser measurement or multi-point camera technology.
Just stand on the scanner and in less than 10 seconds, you can get detailed data including foot length, foot width, arch height, etc.
These data, which originally belonged to the field of medical orthopedics, are now introduced into the foot care industry, allowing technicians to not only see the “surface” of the feet, but also gain insight into the hidden problems of the structure, so as to tailor care, massage, insoles, and even shoe matching solutions.
2. What problems can it solve?
Customized care for structural foot problems
For example, problems that could not be improved by traditional care, such as arch collapse, inversion, and crooked toes, can be alleviated with appropriate foot exercises, support products, and orthopedic insoles after 3D modeling.
Solve common “pseudo-fat feet”
Many people think that their “feet are very wide”, but in fact, it is a visual error caused by low arches and outward expansion of toes. After 3D scanning, it can be identified whether it is a structural problem or edema-type fat feet, and help formulate improvement strategies.
Improve shoe matching
By comparing foot shape data with shoe model data, not only can the most suitable size be found, but also the last and heel height suitable for the foot shape can be recommended to reduce the problem of shoe pressure and foot wear.
Customized foot products
Including customized corrective insoles, massage paths, and even exclusive foot mask formulas, etc., no longer the same for everyone.
3. Why do beauty institutions pay more and more attention to it?
In the past, foot care was regarded as a “value-added project”, but as people pay more attention to body management, comfort and health, feet are gradually regarded as the basis of body balance and beauty.
3D foot analysis can lay a data foundation for beauty salons to expand higher value-added services, and also enhance customers’ trust and repurchase rate.
In addition, under the trend of “anti-aging”, many women realize that starting from the feet to delay body fatigue and leg deformation is more far-reaching than simple facial care.
