Austin Dermatologists Reveal the Benefits and Possible Dangers of Gel Manicures
Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson Caution Clients About New Dermatological Procedures
(firmenpresse) - AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/13 -- Sanova Dermatology is one of the premier sources for cosmetic medical and surgical . Dr. Adam Mamelak and Dr. Miriam Hanson blend their experience, education, technology and compassion to provide quality care. Equipped with a state-of-the-art facility, Sanova Dermatology uses the latest technology and techniques the field has to offer.
Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson have been following new reports about a popular type of manicure. Gel manicures, while lasting longer and offering a brighter shine than traditional polishes, may also expose the recipient to certain health risks.
When clients receive a gel manicure, they are given four or five coats of polish. Each of these coats of polish require drying time under an ultraviolet light and the collective time can amount to significant UV exposure. The UV light used during the finishing process of these gel manicures is similar to the UV light emitted by tanning beds. If clients are receiving a gel manicure every two weeks (the approximate time each manicure lasts), clients may be risking skin damage.
As with any situation involving sun exposure, Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Anyone looking for a sunscreen that protect against UV-A and UV-B rays should look for products that contain ingredients such as:
Octyl salicylate
Oxybenzone
Zinc oxide
Titanium dioxide
Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson, each an , recommend patients always consult a qualified dermatologist before undergoing any treatment -- particularly a relatively new one. Gel manicure treatments, while providing excellent results, are too new to determine long-lasting positive and negative effects. At Sanova Dermatology, their private dermatology practice, Dr. Mamelak and Dr. Hanson warn their patients that, as with all dermatology procedures, there are risks involved and it is best to receive care from a board-certified professional.
