Is Your Manicure Giving You Cancer? (The Truth) 💅⚠️

We are told gel manicures are safe. We are told it's just "light." But as an oncologist, I don't see a beauty tool. I see a miniature tanning bed for your fingers.

In this video, I break down the new 2023 study from UC San Diego that changed everything we thought we knew about nail lamps. We look at the physics of UVA radiation, why the "LED" label is a marketing lie, and the cumulative "bucket" effect that leads to DNA damage.

Most importantly, I share the "Smart Patient Protocol"—the $10 accessory that allows you to keep getting manicures safely.

DNA damage and somatic mutations in mammalian cells after irradiation with a nail polish dryer (Nature Communications, 2023)

💡 THE SOLUTION: Look for "UPF 50+ Fingerless Gloves" online. They block 99% of UVA radiation while keeping your nails exposed for the polish.
