Gel Manicures: What to Know Before You Get One

Gel Manicure

There’s nothing worse than leaving the nail salon only to put a dent in your freshly painted pointers the minute you dig through your handbag to check your phone. That was one of the reasons gel manicures became an instant beauty phenomenon:

Are gel nails safe? Recently, some research came out about how these long-lasting manicures might be somewhat unsafe, since the process employs UV lighting, which, of course, has an association with skin cancer. Given the reputation of the light source, we at joz salon & spa  immediately concerned about the risks of gel manicures.

UV nail lamps just as it does UV tanning lights. There have been no official warnings released about UV nail lamps and their dangers, with a dermatologist noting that there is probably no cause for alarm.
