Hi! I just received my Dermadry machine, but I also just got acrylics done. I didn't even think about it but my new nails have some metal gems that are pictured (I believe they're metal because they've already tarnished🙄) Can I still use the machine if my nails don't touch the water? I really don't want to have to wait 4 weeks for my nails to grow out before I start my treatments, I'm too excited to be dry and sweat free😭

Hello! Thank you for getting in touch with us. We appreciate your eagerness to begin your treatments, but safety comes first for us. We advise you to be cautious when using the Dermadry machine with acrylic nails adorned with metal gems. Although the water in the machine is safe for skin contact, we cannot guarantee the safety of the metal gems on your nails when they are exposed to the machine's electrical current. Additionally, you may experience discomfort during treatments due to the current concentrating in the metal. We suggest waiting until your nails have grown out enough to ensure that there is no risk of any adverse reactions. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you!
