Many clients ask Satomi whether nail lamps can damage the skin on their hands.The short answer is no — not the kind she uses.
At Satomi Nails, located inside the Metropolis Hotel on High Street in Auckland CBD, every product and tool is chosen with safety and care in mind.
LED Lamps vs. UV Lamps
“I use an LED lamp, not a traditional UV lamp,” Satomi explains.“LED lamps cure gel much faster and emit significantly less UV exposure, which makes them much gentler on your skin.”
Traditional UV lamps were once common for curing gel polish, but they take longer and release more ultraviolet light.Modern LED lamps use a different wavelength that’s faster, cooler, and far less intense — reducing skin exposure and overall treatment time.
Additional Skin Protection
Even though exposure from LED lamps is minimal, Satomi takes extra precautions for clients who want complete reassurance.She recommends:
Applying a broad-spectrum hand cream or sunscreen before your appointment.
Using protective manicure gloves that cover the tops of the hands, leaving only the nails exposed.
These simple steps add another layer of comfort for clients with sensitive skin.
Safety Meets Craftsmanship
At Satomi Nails, every detail — from lighting to gel products — is selected to protect your skin while ensuring long-lasting, beautiful results.Satomi works carefully and efficiently, using premium Japanese gels that cure evenly under LED light for a smooth, strong finish.
Your comfort and safety are part of the craftsmanship that defines her boutique salon.
