Questions and Answers
Young children have very undeveloped nail units.
The nail plates are soft and full of moisture, the nail bed is weak, the skin is delicate, and the matrix is a long way from maturity. Their delicate nails cannot take the extra weight of an enhancement; adhesion will be poor, and any form of buffing during the prep will thin an already thin nail plate.

What is that burning I get with gel nails?
Heat spikes in gel nails are a sensation of burning or intense heat that can occur during the gel curing process under a UV or LED lamp. This happens because the gel undergoes a chemical reaction called polymerization, which releases heat as a byproduct. The intensity of the heat spike can vary depending on factors like the type of gel, the thickness of the gel applied, and the curing time
What causes heat spikes?
Curing Time: A faster cure time can lead to a more intense heat spike, as the heat is released more quickly.
Gel Thickness: Applying thicker layers of gel can also increase the heat generated as more gel is exposed to the curing light.
Exothermic Reaction: When gel polish is exposed to UV or LED light, it undergoes polymerization, a chemical reaction that causes the gel to harden. This reaction releases heat, which is felt as a heat spike.
What causes heat spikes?
Lamp Power: Using a lamp with higher power can also lead to a stronger heat spike.
Product Compatibility: Using the wrong lamp for a specific gel can also cause heat spikes.
Nail Plate: Some nail beds are more sensitive to heat than others, which can also contribute to the intensity of the heat spike.
