Can a Cancer Patient Undergo an IBX System Treatment?

The possibility of using IBX System for a cancer patient depends on the stage of the disease and the type of treatment they are undergoing. While this treatment is generally safe and non-invasive, extra caution should be taken, and a doctor’s consultation is recommended before proceeding.

IBX System During Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy

During chemotherapy, the body becomes highly sensitive, as the treatment affects the entire immune system and can weaken the nail plate.
Light-cured products, such as IBX System, may cause increased sensitivity in patients undergoing intensive cancer treatment. The skin and nails often become thin, brittle, and prone to damage, which can lead to discomfort after the procedure.
Radiotherapy can also make the skin and nails more fragile, so any cosmetic treatment should be discussed with a healthcare professional beforehand.

IBX System in Cancer Remission

After completing treatment and entering remission, IBX System can be used as a nail-strengthening therapy, as nails are often weakened after prolonged medical treatment.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can cause thinning, brittleness, and even nail separation, so gentle regenerative treatments like IBX System may help rebuild and protect them.
However, it is essential to consult with the treating physician to ensure the body is ready for such a treatment and that no medical contraindications exist.

Alternatives to IBX System During Cancer Treatment

If IBX System is not recommended during a specific stage of the disease, there are other safe nail care options, such as:

Natural nail-strengthening oils (e.g., castor oil, olive oil, jojoba oil),
Nail conditioners that do not require UV curing,
Gentle moisturizing hand and nail soaks,
Avoiding aggressive cosmetic treatments, such as gel nails or UV-cured extensions.

In my opinion

During chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it is recommended to avoid IBX System, as the body is particularly sensitive during this time.
After treatment, in remission, IBX System can be used to strengthen and regenerate the nails, but only after consulting a doctor.
During active cancer treatment, natural and gentle nail care is the best approach, to avoid further weakening and irritation.

Every case is unique, so the best course of action is to consult with a medical professional before performing any cosmetic treatment on a cancer patient.
