Manicurists often use LED/UV lamps for setting gel manicures and dry polish. The side effects of such exposure may lead to a heightened risk of melanoma. Read further to get more details about this startling finding and how it be countered.
It is common knowledge that prolonged exposure to high-intensity UV radiation like the one emitted by artificial tanners can be detrimental to one’s health and can increase the risk of developing skin carcinoma. These radiations can pass through all the upper layers of the skin and wreak havoc by damaging collagen and elastin, the proteins that protect your skin’s youthfulness. While the curing lamps used at nail salons do not necessarily produce UV radiations that are as intense as those released by tanning beds, excessive use of such devices can lead to an elevation in risk over time.
Here are some facts that you must keep in mind the next time you decide to go in for a manicure.
While manicures may make your hands look dainty in a jiffy, it is essential to keep in mind the potential health hazards that they may bring along. This fact is especially true if you are fond of gel manicures that require dryer lamps to set well. By adopting a few of the suggestions given above you can enjoy a manicure without overexposing yourself to the dangers of ultraviolet radiations and consequently protect yourself from skin cancer.
