Can gel manicure bring about an allergic reaction?

Allergies may be caused by a variety of factors and products – incorrectly applied gel layer or one of the chemical substances in the product itself. That’s why it is vital to secure cuticles before applying gel. Other factors to be taken into account are the time necessary under the UV lamp, washing off the dispersion layer (from cuticle to the top of the nail). Should you be concerned about an allergic reaction occurrence, an allergic test can be done in our studio around 24h before actual visit. Itching, inflammation, redness – those are symptoms of the allergic reaction. If they appear, the gel should be removed without undue delay.
