Nail Salon Dryer Lights and Skin Cancer

July 17, 2009 by N/A

The UV Lights at Your Local Nail Salon May Cause Skin Cancer. 

The lights used to quickly dry your nails at your local nail salon may cause skin cancer. As published in the April 2009 issue of the Archives of Dermatology report that 2 healthy middle aged women developed skin cancers on the dorsum of their hands, both women had no risk factors for skin cancer and reported exposure to UV lights at nail salons. My advice use the dryer.
