It kills cells and can lead to skin cancer in the long run. This warning belongs to researchers at the University of San Diego, USA.
Scientists focused on Ultraviolet devices used to dry nail polish in a short time.
In laboratory tests, 30 percent cell death was detected in 20 minutes of use.
It is stated that after three 20-minute sessions in a row, the cell death reached 70 percent.
Ultraviolet rays also cause mutations in surviving cells, the researchers say.
It is noted that these changes in cell DNA are very similar to those seen in skin cancer.
The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, is a first for the health effects of nail polish dryers.
US scientists state that nail polish dryers have a similar effect to tanning beds used in solariums.
However, it is emphasized that nail polish dryers operate at low power and the exposure time to the rays is short.
Therefore, more research is needed on its long-term effects.
Experts recommend applying sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 30 to the hands before using the nail polish dryer.
