About E-file Manicure
E-file manicure is a technique that uses an electric file with different drill bits to gently remove dead skin around the cuticle and sidewalls. This method ensures a clean, precise nail contour and helps extend the longevity of the manicure. After the e-file treatment, cuticles are carefully trimmed with scissors for a flawless finish. This approach is gentle on the skin and provides a polished, long-lasting result.

Not at all, when applied and removed by a professional using a gentle technique, your nails will stay healthy.
