Are UV & LED nail lamps safe?

In spite of the assertions to the contrary made by the misinformed media, fear-mongers, and television celebrity doctors, the facts that I shall describe below establish that UV curing nail lamps are risk-free.

This debate began in 2009 when two dermatologists from Texas made the incorrect assertion that skin malignancies that developed on the hands of two patients were brought on by exposure to UV light from manicure lights. It is strange that one of the two patients cited was a woman who had only been to a salon eight times and who, according to these physicians, had pre-existing'moderate recreational exposure' to sunlight. Their erroneous results sparked a prolonged and unrelenting assault on salons' reputations, which has continued right up until the present day.

Last but not least, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has conceded that the UV nail lamps utilised in nail salons do not pose any health risks. The following statement was issued by the FDA in July 2017:

"...when used in accordance with the directions provided on the label, the FDA considers nail drying lamps to pose a minimal risk. For instance, a study that was completed and published in 2013 found that even for the lamp that was considered to be the worst-case scenario, an exposure of 36 minutes per day to this lamp did not exceed the occupational exposure limits for UV radiation. (It is important to note that these limitations only apply to those who are normal and healthy and do not include individuals who may have a disease that renders them more sensitive to UV radiation.) To this day, the Food and Drug Administration has not received any reports linking these lamps to cases of skin cancer or burns.

Researchers of the highest calibre in photobiology, namely Drs. Dowdy and Sayre, were responsible for the study that took place in 2013. They established that UV nail lamps are not the same as tanning beds by doing the tests in accordance with the international regulations for UV.

"When UV nail lamps evaluated in this report are compared together with earlier sunlamp computations, we find that the UV nail lamps are vastly less hazardous," they say. "When compared together with earlier sunlamp computations."

According to the findings, "all of the various UV nail lamps that were submitted for evaluation were found to be significantly less hazardous than might have been anticipated based on the initial concerns raised."

The two individuals pointed out that the natural nail plate absorbs UV rays and shields the nail bed, offering natural UV resistance that is equivalent to that of a sunscreen with a factor of SPF 40. They also discovered that the back of the hand is the most UV resistant region of the body. The back of the hand is four times more resistant to UV than the forehead or cheek, making the back of the hand the portion of the body with the highest UV resistance.

Studies were conducted using UV nail lights with fluorescent tubes as well as those with LEDs, and the results provided evidence to support the safety of all UV nail lamps.

Dr. Sayre stated that this particular UV source probably falls into the category that poses the least amount of risk. The use of UV nail lights is far more secure than exposure to sunlight or sunlamps.

In a second study, conducted by Markova and Weinstock of Massachusetts General Hospital and the Alpert Medical School at Brown University, the researchers found that "UV nail lamps do not appear to significantly increase lifetime risk." They also found that medical professionals frequently utilise UV medical lamps as a form of therapeutic skin therapy.

According to what they discovered, in order to have the same level of risk exposure as other medical devices that have been in use for a long time, one would need to have weekly UV nail sessions for almost two hundred fifty years.

This lends credence to the findings of the 2009 study conducted by the Nail Manufacturers Council on Safety (NMC) of the Professional Beauty Association, which concluded that UV nail lamps are risk-free so long as they are used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Consider the following:

Always make sure that you are employing the light that comes included with your professional UV/LED gel system.
Always ensure that you are following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

When using UV lights, it is important to keep track of the lifespan of the bulbs and to replace them as directed by the manufacturer.
Under the light that you purchase as part of a professional kit, you should never use any other UV/LED gel systems.

In the event that you own more than one brand of UV/LED gel, you will need to purchase the appropriate lamp in order to utilise it with each additional brand.

Always allow the product to cure for the amount of time that is specified by the manufacturer.

Never buy a cheaper lamp for your system because it won't work properly. It will not have been subjected to the rigorous scientific testing required for compatibility with the UV/LED gel brand of your choice.
