Hand & Nail Treatments FAQ in Stanford, CA

What is the healthiest nail option?

Choose soak-off gel nails instead of acrylic nails. While gel nails can cause nail brittleness, peeling, and cracking, they’re more flexible than acrylic nails. This means your own nails are less likely to crack. You’ll want to ask for gel nails that soak off rather than ones that must be filed off.

What age do nail ridges appear?

Ridges can appear on someone’s fingers as early as in their 30s, but it is more common to begin when someone is in their 50s or 60s. There isn’t much that can be done to prevent nail ridging, but there are things you can do to ensure that your nails are as healthy as possible.

Certain nutritional deficiencies can cause changes to your nails. Zinc deficiency can cause Beau’s lines and white spots on your nails. Iron deficiency can cause vertical nail ridges and koilonychia (spoon nails).

Does soaking nails in olive oil work?

“Because of the rich vitamin E olive oil contains, it is extremely moisturizing and easily absorbed, which makes it great for nail growth,” says Russak. “Soak your nails in olive oil for about 20 minutes once a week to feel its full effect.”

What is better than dip nails?

“Overall, gel polish is much easier to remove than dip powder,” King explains. “They both need to be soaked off, but dip powder will take longer.” For both gel and dip powder, you’ll want to pencil in at least 30 minutes — either at the nail salon or at home — to get the job done.
