Can children under 12 do gel manicures? Do they need to shorten the lamp exposure time?

Children under 12 have skin and immune systems that are not fully developed, making their skin more delicate and sensitive compared to adults. Although our nail lamps are relatively safe, we still recommend choosing the 99s/120s pain-free mode during curing. Additionally, make sure to use high-quality nail polish. You may also apply sunscreen or wear UV protective gloves while using the lamp. Furthermore, the process should be supervised by an adult. If redness, swelling, or itching occurs, stop using it immediately.

Safety precautions for children's gel manicures:

◇ Reduce lamp exposure time and frequency
When children use a nail lamp, try to minimize the exposure time for each session and avoid frequent use to reduce the cumulative damage caused by UV rays.

◇ Use protective measures
Apply child-safe sunscreen on their hands or wear UV protective gloves to reduce direct exposure to UV rays on the skin.

◇ Choose low-dose UV LED lamps
It is recommended to use UV LED nail lamps specifically designed for safety, avoiding those with excessive power.

◇ Apply a thin and even layer of gel
The gel should not be applied too thickly. Applying thin layers helps shorten the curing time and reduces UV exposure.

◇ Avoid continuous use
It is recommended to space out children's gel manicures for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent excessive UV exposure.

◇ Proper cleaning and care
After the manicure, make sure to clean the hands promptly and apply a moisturizing hand cream to help repair and protect the skin.
