We all have long known about the dangers of solariums, and the high risk of developing skin cancer. And what about UV lamps that are used for manicure? Can they harm our skin if, in fact, this is a mini-tanning bed?

Is the gel polish lamp harmful?

Some medical experts claim that because these lamps emit ultraviolet light, they can cause premature aging as well as skin cancer, and special care should be taken if you are a fan of gel polish.

Ultraviolet rays are able to penetrate deep into the skin. They damage collagen, the main building block of our skin, and elastin, which helps us look younger.

But don't let this information scare you! :) The good news is that recent studies have shown that there is very little health risk from UV nail lamps.

Researchers from an American university tested 17 UV and LED lamps taken from various beauty salons.

Salons use a wide range of lamps that emit varying amounts of UV light. It depends on the power, as well as the service life, because, as you know, the longer the lamp is used, the less the power of radiation emanating from it.

There is no particular difference between UV and LED lamps in this matter, since they all emit ultraviolet light.

It is worth noting that ultraviolet radiation is not always bad. :) The treatment of psoriasis with ultraviolet is quite effective. But of course, such therapeutic actions should be carried out only under the supervision of a physician.

Scientists examining the dose of UV that a person would receive during a ten-minute nail-drying session in a lamp concluded that it would take about 250 nail-drying sessions before a manicurist would receive the same dose of UV as in the treatment of psoriasis.

The study also states that this amount of UV exposure only marginally increases the risk of skin cancer compared to stronger tanning lamps.

The final conclusion of the study was that the lamps used for manicure are safe.

Precautionary measures

Despite the findings of scientists, members of skin cancer organizations still insist on the negative impact of manicure lamps. So how can you protect your hands from damage and protect yourself from even a slight effect of ultraviolet radiation on the skin?

Scientists recommend gel manicure lovers to apply sunscreen or wear protective gloves to their skin to reduce the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.

It should be noted that gloves have their drawbacks. The SPF of white cotton gloves will only be around 4, so for the best protection, you'll need dark, opaque gloves.

Sunscreen is a more practical option, but even if you put it on on the way to the salon, it's likely to wash off if the nail technician uses soap, water, scrubs, and lotion during the manicure process. If you really want to protect your hands during a manicure, you will have to sacrifice these joys. :(

But do not be discouraged ahead of time, there is a way out! Take some cream with you and ask the stylist to apply your sunscreen at the end of the manicure, before applying the top coat. Then your hands will be protected.

I hope my article was useful to you, and dispelled all your fears associated with the use of ultraviolet lamps for manicure. Now you can not only pamper your hands in peace, but also minimize potential risks to the skin. Be healthy and beautiful! :)
