Why do you need a nail extractor?
A nail extractor, also known as a nail dust extractor, is essential for any nail technician. A nail extractor removes nail dust, fumes, and odors released during filing, polishing, and painting nails. Sucking up nail dust is especially important.
Nail dust often contains chemicals, microscopic particles of nail products, and other harmful substances that, when inhaled, irritate the respiratory tract. This leads to coughing, shortness of breath, and in some cases even chronic conditions such as asthma or bronchitis.
In addition, nail dust particles can irritate the eyes and lead to conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eye. This causes redness, itching, burning, watery eyes, and sensitivity to light.
To reduce the risk of these health risks, it's important to use a nail extractor when using anail fileor electric nail file. We also recommend wearing a dust mask or face mask, safety glasses, and regularly cleaning your workspace. This reduces exposure to harmful substances and improves the air quality in the salon, creating a healthier environment for both the nail technician and the client.
