Burn of the nail plate
Recently, a girl with damaged nails, which she considered ordinary delamination, signed up for a manicure. However, these were signs of a completely different state. Our topic today is nail plate burn .


If you see that the client initially has thin nails, you should use low-temperature bases, do not apply a thick leveling layer and use the reduced power setting on your lamp. Warn the client that in no case should you endure a burning sensation, and that you need to get your hand out of the lamp so that the process of connecting the molecules stops for a while.

With a thermal burn, symptoms appear immediately. One of the consequences of a chemical and thermal burn is onycholysis (“onycho” - a nail, “lysis” - decay). The collagen ligaments between the nail plate and the bed disintegrate, and as a result, a void can be observed under the nail, although the nail itself retains its structure and does not crumble.
