Exploring the Facts on Exothermic Reaction

We understand the concerns surrounding the exothermic reaction experienced during sculpting appointments, and it's time to shed light on evidence-based data to alleviate worries. Heat build-up when working with sculpting products is a normal chemical reaction that cannot be entirely avoided. However, we can take steps to minimize and control it, ensuring the utmost caution with our clients.

Product & Lamp Compatibility: Key Facts

• UV/LED gel nail products rely on specific photoinitiators/UV absorbers that facilitate the polymerization process.
• Different photoinitiators have distinct absorption spectra, meaning they absorb light at specific wavelengths.
• UV lamps emit UVA wavelengths ranging from around 320 to 400 nm, while LED lamps generally emit within the range of 365 to 405 nm.

Understanding these facts, it is important to note that reputable brands have access to crucial data to address any concerns regarding product & lamp compatibility:

1. We have access to information on the types and quantities of photoinitiators used in our products.
2. We specify the nm wavelength required for proper curing of each product to our customers by offering a compatible UV/LED lamp.
3. We conduct laboratory testing to ensure our lamps emit the appropriate wavelengths to activate the photoinitiators/UV absorbers present in our products.

Rest assured that with this knowledge, there is no need for unnecessary worry. Reputable brands prioritize providing accurate information and ensuring the compatibility of their products with appropriate lamp wavelengths through rigorous testing.

Gellifique Lamp: Enhancing the Curing Experience

Our Gellifique lamp operates with a low cure mode that starts at 25% power and gradually increases to full cure mode. This gradual approach ensures a controlled and comfortable curing experience.

The latest model of our lamp maintains the same curability wavelength as the previous model but incorporates improved quality LEDs.

These advancements aim to extend the longevity of the LEDs, providing customers with extended usage beyond the recommended 3-6 months (depending on salon activity).

However, as this is a brand new device operating at the necessary full power for effective curing, it is possible that some exothermic reaction may occur when working with sculpting products.

We assure you that we have taken measures to minimize this reaction from a technical standpoint:

• Our formulas utilize a range of photoinitiators/UV absorbers, carefully tailored to our system's requirements and the desired nm wavelength.
• Moreover, our formulations incorporate oligomer content ranging from 25% to 45%. This controlled inclusion of oligomers facilitates a gradual heat build-up rather than an immediate heat spike, allowing nail technicians to manage the customer experience effectively.

As professional nail technicians, let's embrace our expertise, maintain open communication with our chosen brands, and approach any challenges that may arise during our nail services with a calm and constructive mindset. By seeking advice without bias and utilizing our knowledge, we can effectively address and overcome any disruptions that may occur. Together, we can provide exceptional nail services and ensure the utmost satisfaction for our clients.

Note: This information aims to provide education and clarification regarding the exothermic reaction and lamp compatibility with our products. We encourage open dialogue and further consultation when needed.
