Professional Nail Care: When to Seek Help
While at-home care is essential, there are times when it’s best to seek professional help for your nails. Regular visits to a professional nail technician can help to keep your nails in top condition and address any issues before they become serious.
Manicures
Regular manicures can help to keep your nails trimmed, shaped, and free from hangnails. A professional manicure also includes cuticle care and often a hand massage, which can improve circulation and promote nail growth.
Pedicures
Don’t forget about your toenails! Regular pedicures can help to prevent ingrown toenails and keep your feet looking and feeling their best. Like manicures, pedicures include trimming, shaping, and cuticle care, as well as exfoliating and moisturizing your feet.
Nail Treatments
If you have specific nail concerns, such as brittleness or peeling, a professional nail technician can recommend treatments to address these issues. They may suggest a strengthening treatment or a specialized manicure to improve the health of your nails.
Consulting a Dermatologist
If you notice any unusual changes in your nails, such as discoloration, thickening, or separation from the nail bed, it’s important to see a dermatologist. These changes could indicate an underlying health issue that needs to be addressed.
