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.
Here are six reasons the gel mani is safer than you think.
- Gel Manicures Add Strength And Support
- The Duration And Frequency Of Light Exposure Is Brief
- LED Lamps Are Your Best Bet
- Know Your Lamp Difference.
- You Can Further Protect Your Hands And Nails As Part Of The Process
- Ask Questions!
Asking these three questions to your manicurist at JOZ SALON & SPA. “What kind of light will you be using for my gel manicure service?,” “How do I properly remove my gel manicure?,” and ” What are the benefits of a gel manicure?” Once you’ve got all that sorted, you can walk away more confident in the safety of your new polish.
