Biocompatibility and Safety of Solid-State Gel Systems in Nail Services: A Comprehensive Analysis of Materials and Application Techniques

Mazur Sofiia

Abstract: The article examines the safety problem of solid gel systems in nail services, driven by the dual nature of risks: chemical, associated with the sensitizing action of (meth) acrylate monomers and the provocation of contact dermatitis, and biomechanical, arising from incorrect e-file techniques and leading to injuries, including onycholysis. The aim of the study is to provide theoretical and empirical justification for the hypothesis that safety is the result of synergy between chemically modified biocompatible materials and minimally invasive techniques. The research methodology is interdisciplinary and combines a systematic review of scientific literature, a comparative analysis of modeling systems (hard gel, acrylic, dip system), and a qualitative case study of the author's E-File Dry Manicure protocol. As a result, it was established that the key factors in risk minimization are the transition to HEMA-free formulations with low allergenic potential and the application of biomechanically calibrated protocols using safe instrumentation, in particular a rounded cone bit that prevents trauma. The conclusions confirm that the safety of hard gel is not an immanent property of the product but is achieved within an integrated system of material - technique - specialist, which is empirically demonstrated by the example of a commercially successful and globally recognized author's method oriented toward nail restoration. The presented data will be of interest to practicing nail technicians, instructors, curriculum developers, and judges of professional championships.
