How often should both light-cured and no-light gels be maintained at a minimum?

Maintaining light-cured and no-light gels every 2 to 3 weeks is aligned with industry standards for ensuring the health and appearance of the nails. This time frame allows for sufficient growth of natural nails, which can lead to lifting or separation of the gel if not properly maintained. Regular maintenance helps prevent issues such as chipping, lifting, or breakage of the gel itself, which can negatively impact the overall aesthetic and integrity of the nails.

In addition, this maintenance schedule allows nail technicians to assess the condition of the natural nail, clean any debris, and ensure that the gel is applied smoothly for a polished look. Regular clients can expect their gel nails to remain vibrant and intact as they undergo proper upkeep within this recommended timeframe. By adhering to this schedule, both the technician and the client can uphold the quality of the manicure while also promoting the health of the natural nails underneath.
