The Downside Of Nail Salons: Why Personal Nail Care Systems Are Better?

LOS ANGELES - Nov. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- There is a common notion that nails treatment done outside or in professional nail salons will have better results than doing it by yourself. One reason why many prefer nail salons is because of their lack of expertise. But did you know that a medical doctor warned on visiting nail salons, which make it better to just have a personal nail care system at home?

In an article on health website Mercola.com said that around 4.4 million Americans are at risk of chronic hepatitis and as much as some of them are unaware they have the diseases, some of these people might have gotten it from professional nail salons. Being a customer in nail salons has a downside because the treatment itself can cause hepatitis out of the instruments used.

Usually, there are sharp instruments that are passed from one customer to another without being cleaned when people get treatment from nail salons. According to Dr. Mercola or Mercola.com, these sharp instruments oftentimes carry infection especially if they are re-used.

While it is true that getting a manicure or a pedicure in a professional nail salon takes out the stress of doing it on your own and has always been part of relaxation with the background music in these nail spas, there are risks involved in them.

"I'm willing to bet many of my female readers enjoy getting their nails done. I know I enjoy having mind done periodically," Dr. Mercola wrote. "Aside from looking well-groomed, getting a manicure and/or pedicure is a good stress reliever too, I'm told."

Hepatitis is a diseases characterized by inflammation in the liver system. There are various designations to this disease such as Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C, caused by the hepatitis virus. Some of the symptoms that help people gauge of the existence of the disease are fever, pains in the joint, pains in the abdomen, fever, and jaundice of the yellowing of the skin and white parts in the eyes.

If you are a frequent nail salon visitor, Mercola.com advised you to protect yourself from possible risks. Make sure that the scissors, clippers, nail cutters and other equipment are disinfected. Also, you have to see if the files used for your fingers or toes are new because they ought to be disposable.
