Doctors warn of gel manicure dangers

Something as simple as getting your nails done can be pretty dangerous.

Dip powder can contain bacteria and cause infection if used by many people at a nail shop.

Once in a while its good. I do it every month and change from gel to regular polish just to let my nails rest from the gel and the uv lamp etc.

I would be more worried about the allergies that are becoming more and more prevalent.

After watching this, I worry about the safety of the kind nail techs.

I'm sooo glad I don't do nails. Love my natural nails 😊

Getting your nails done under a UV lamp every two weeks is to often it seems that would be harmful.

"It lasts forever....I get it done every two weeks." Lol

Everything now in day's kills you. Just do what you want and stop caring!

So basically this is exaggerated because the dr said it would be the stronger UV lamps and even at that there is no proof, none. I’m not some big advocate for nails but this story is just scaring people and potentially harming nail business with no evidence whatsoever. Lame.

What people don’t understand your fingers are easy access into your blood stream. I am a healthcare professional and 27 years ago a physician told us to never get your nails done with anything artificial. The glue, even some nail polish contain harmful chemicals.

Good thing now almost all nail salons use LED LIGHT lamps to cure Gel polish! 2022

Nail salon owner doesn’t believe the procedure can cause cancer. Learned at his nail school

[no_prisoners]

I was doing my nails now and I’m short of breath.

[sueketron]

So this is claiming she got breast cancer from getting her nails done. Okay then, so much for science, eh?
