Gel Manicures Beware: Research Hints UV Nail Dryers a Cancer Risk |
|
Gel manicures beware: New evidence reveals a potential cancer risk associated with nail dryers. Although curing lamps are used for a short period of time during a gel manicure, research indicates that the UV rays emitted by some nail dryers are at least four times stronger than the sun’s UV rays.
Exposure to UV ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation light is known to cause skin cancer from other sources, such as sun exposure and tanning beds. Because the nail dryers / lamps used in these manicures emit UVA rays, damaging DNA, they could be a linked cancer risk.
A recently published study found that 65% to 70% of cells derived from humans and mice, exposed to UV light from nail dryers, died after three consecutive 20-minute sessions.
As studies are still ongoing, it is advised to weigh the risk. Per the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), although gel manicures can be on point for beauty and longevity, they can also be very damaging to nails and skin. They can cause nail brittleness, cracking, peeling and can also increase risk for skin cancer and premature aging on the hands.
