Do UV Lamps Cause Cancer?

Have you ever wondered if my blingged out YN Nail lamp is giving you cancer while your product is curing? You're not alone. You asked, and the three leading nail chemists in the nail industry Doug Schoon, Paul Bryson and Jim McConnell, have answered! They released the first scientific study on the safety of UV nail lamps.

The entire study is available here. (It's 4 pages)

If you don't want to read it, I have pulled some key points below.

They tested two different UV nail lights that represented 90% of the lights on the market.

"Test results show that UV-A exposure for client skin is equivalent to spending an extra 1.5 to 2.7 minutes in sunlight each day between salon visits..."

" Client hands are likely to be exposed to more UV light while driving their cars than they will receive from UV gel nail services." 

There you have it! UV nail lamps, when used correctly, do not cause cancer!

    My mom started a nail business in 2000, and I was just 10. Then when my older sister went to cosmetology school, I decided I wanted to be a Nail Technician and I have loved it since day one. Learn more about me on my about page...
