MMA
Serious adverse skin reactions and permanent nail deformities are part of the risks of using MMA. Long term use of MMA may lead to permanent damage to the respiratory system. Those who use these products often wear dust masks hoping to obtain some protection. Although these masks are a great way to lower exposure to dusts and filings, they provide ABSOLUTELY NO protection from MMA vapors. Also, MMA creates enhancements that are too rigid for the natural nail plate. MMA enhancements resist breaking if accidentally caught or jammed. This often leads to painful breakage of the nail plate near the cuticle which may result in severe infections. Nail technicians may be found legally liable if they knowingly use products containing MMA. They may lose their professional licenses, and/or be sued by injured clients!
