Thank you for busting myth and relieving my anxiety!

I haven't seen a UV lamp in a nail salon for a while. LED is only 30secs.

[karatalksaboutstuff]

It's a super short time. 20 minutes over 3 days is about the least-relevant conditions they could come up with. The only possible scenario where someone might do that is, like, a hand model for a nail polish ad shoot where they're doing 10 different looks on the same person each day. Even so, there's no way someone's hands would tolerate that much acetone to remove and redo gel polish that much.

The gel part is actually a resin, which requires UVA light to cure. 😮

LED is a type of lamp, like halogen, fluorescent, neon, etc. UV is a wavelength, like blue, red, etc. there are many lamps which emit light in the ultra-violet (UV) wavelength, one of which is LED. IT IS THE SAME WAVELEGTH IN ALL OF THEM. a UV LED light is no better or worse than any other lamp which emits UV light.

I knew I told my mom a few years ago, and she looked at me like I was crazy!

using UV drying now.. while watching this.

LED lamps are still using UV rays, and this point is detailed right in the printed Today article.

[ashlaraque]

When are using nail lamps to cure gel you cure 2 min - 5 seconds at a time depending on, if you’re trying to flash cure or fully cure, and what you’re trying to cure but even then it wouldn’t add up to 10 minutes in one session and going back to get your nails done for minimum two weeks so this study is a load of BS.

Gloves cover hands but what about the skin under the nails?

[jill]

Dr. Sugai, please do a video about Lichen Planus on nails. I have an appt with my dermatologist soon to evaluate for this. I’ve been researching information about treatment for this, but haven’t seen anything that gives me hope to help find some relief. The images I’ve seen online of people with LP on their nails, looks exactly like mine. The splitting caused by this makes my nails very tender. Hopefully my Dr will be able to help, but I’m open to any and all remedies or suggestions. Thank you!

Is polyurethane acrylate a carcinogen? I can't find a CAS number

[mrs.z]

I develop an allergic reaction during the use of a lamp myself, having doing for years but happened this time, not sure if I becoming more sensitive to products?

[aliceinwonderland]

Ok so what causes eczema the UV or gel polish?

[AJ-wyzm]

These lamps are also used by people who whiten their teeth. I’ve done sessions on patients for hours under lights.

There are also home light whitening kits. I believe they’re meant to be used about 30 mins. People prob do them each month.

It turned my nail brown the cells in my nail was dead because it didn't change back. I had to wait months for my nail do grow out and it burns like there no tomorrow. I brought one and now I don't is it anymore. I'm sticking to press on nails even though they only last for a few hours

Haven’t heard anyone got infected or died from this..Beauty requires little pain sometimes. Then all beauty procedures are damaging. Lets all live like in stone era?
