If caught early, the product can be removed and replaced to prevent issues. However, if not addressed, trapped moisture can create an ideal breeding ground for opportunistic pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, leading to potential infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture4.png 250w, https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture4-11x12.png 11w, https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture4-46x50.png 46w, https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture4-182x200.png 182w, https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture4-91x100.png 91w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Moisture trapped causing pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;What can we do to Prevent Problems Happening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accidents happen, we can&#8217;t prevent those but our clients can help with good maintenance of their nail enhancements. A good quality oil helps prevent a build up of moisture and also helps to keep your nail and nail coating flexible and less prone to breaking or cracking, so a win win for your client but also for your salon, longer lasting gorgeous nails and happier clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can we Recover the Nail Plate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can, there is a special product on the market today that is available the world over, treatments such as this will re seal the upper layers of the nail plate from the inside out and you will be able to re-apply your artificial nail product without a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without this product its smart to prep your nail plate with a good nail plate cleanser, and apply a semi-permanent nail product such as acrylic Liquid &amp; Powder \u2013 Acryl has more than one advantage over a hard gel or an acrygel, it is designed to remain on a nail plate for longer periods of time and that\u2019s important to know with this kind of nail plate damage, but if necessary, it can also be safely removed by thinning with a nail file and soaking off the last layer for optimal control and no extra damage to the nail plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks of Applying Short-Life Nail Enhancements on Damaged Nails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Placing a \u2018short life\u2018 nail enhancement on a damaged nail plate is asking for problems and complications \u2013 something we would like to avoid in the nail salon. Doing so can create pocket lifting or a great home for opportunistic pathogens that are hanging around waiting to do their thing, recovery of the nail plate after such an infection takes considerably longer than recovering the original damage of the nail coating being ripped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a good idea to inform your salon clients about the pros and cons of nail plate and nail unit maintenance with oils and lotions, its not just a sales pitch, your clients are paying you good money for nail coatings \u2013 having spent that money they also have a responsibility to keep them in the best possible condition and your responsibility is to provide a safe lasting service with minimal chance of causing infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Do<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Don\u2019t<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Nail Product<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Refer to MD<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Keep clean and make smart choices<\/td><td>Disguise with artificial nail products without a plan<\/td><td>IBX, Oil &amp; Lotion<\/td><td>If the nail becomes infected or changes colour<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Use a semi-permanent product to aid recovery<\/td><td>Use hard gel or an acrygel \u2013 removal is difficult<\/td><td>Acryl -L&amp;P<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Oil 4dd\u2019s<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>High quality Oil &amp; Lotion<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contra indication: If the client already shows signs of a possible infection, redness, swelling or any changes in color do not reapply ANY artificial nail product.
