What is the main risk associated with cutting or removing living skin during services?

The main risk associated with cutting or removing living skin during nail services is the potential for infection and complications. When living skin is cut, it can create an opening through which bacteria can enter, increasing the risk of infections such as bacterial or fungal infections. This is particularly concerning for clients with weakened immune systems or preexisting conditions that may affect their skin integrity.

In addition to infections, cutting living skin can lead to complications such as excessive bleeding, scarring, and delayed healing. Furthermore, if the service provider does not follow proper sanitation and hygiene practices after cutting the skin, the risk of complications further increases. Thus, ensuring that only non-living tissue or excess cuticle is removed during nail services is crucial for maintaining client safety and health.
