Hello @chaodietas it is a pleasure to have you here and we appreciate you joining us in sharing experiences, in our month of skin care. Thank you for the contribution you present us with this interesting review article with scientific support, current, otherwise instructive, educational and formative.
Nails represent one of the annexes of the skin and together with it is part of our Integumentary System.
Nowadays in our America, it is very frequent the use of ultraviolet light devices (lamps) to accelerate the drying and hardening of nail polishes and gels in beauty salons. The reason is that a material called "acrylate" is used, which requires UV light to solidify. In other words, it is very different from the application of conventional nail polish. This process has had a considerable following because of the long-lasting and attractive results.
In particular, I have never had this procedure done, I wear my nails very short because I often have to wear gloves in my professional practice. But I have observed how they perform them and during a session, depending on the client's request, the lamp is used several times to achieve the expected result. On the other hand, to remove the gel nails, the process is cruel and aggressive, because of the acetone used, which has a great abrasive effect.
For the above mentioned, we recommend to keep in mind this call and not to use these procedures frequently in the long term, considering the adverse effects that could be generated. Be aware of the side effects and adverse damage that may occur to your skin and nails.
We look forward to further research, longitudinal correlational studies and meta-analysis in this area.
We thank you for the information provided to our community for discussion.
Until another time.
Happy week to you and yours.
