Features of the IBX System for strengthening and restoring nails
Weak, breaking and exfoliating nails are a problem for most girls, which sometimes numerous surface coatings and medicated varnishes cannot cope with. In this case, the real salvation is the IBX System, whose components, penetrating deep into the plate, act from the inside, and therefore turn out to be more effective. Our article will tell you about the intricacies of using the drugs of the system.
What it is?
The IBX System is designed primarily to strengthen and restore the nail plate. The system is two-phase and is implemented using two drugs.
- One Tool (IBX) applied in two invisible layers and placed in a bottle with a volume of 14.3 ml. This drug penetrates deep inside and creates a protective layer that can prevent the negative effects of both ultraviolet radiation and other external phenomena, including mechanical ones, and also stimulates the growth of nails.
- Other coating (IBX Repair) contained in a 9.5 ml bottle and is responsible for deep restoration: filling the grooves, leveling the surface and gluing the scales of the exfoliated marigold. It contains only natural vitamin components, for example, avocado and jojoba oils, and no destructive particles.
The IBX system penetrates deeply into the nail, fights plate delamination, nourishes, moisturizes and accelerates its growth. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in almost any case: if a person has too thin nails, if they are somehow damaged, covered with dents or white spots. An excellent solution would be to strengthen nails before further applying gel polish or building up using a variety of techniques and materials.
There is no need to specially prepare the nails for the application of IBX products. However, steaming and plate softening agents should be avoided. The use of water in this case is not recommended at all, since the liquid makes the process of penetration of medicinal components into the interior more difficult. By the way, it will not be possible to remove the coating in any way, since the components penetrate deeply inside. Therefore, you should not worry that the healing layer will fall off, its self-elimination will be gradual, coinciding with the natural regrowth of the nail surface.
Nails coated with the IBX system do not change significantly in appearance, only acquire a healthy glow and look less weakened and deformed. This explains the popularity of the procedure not only among women, but also among men who look after their appearance. The IBX System has no analogs. In addition, it is forbidden to use the drugs themselves separately, only as part of a single procedure, however, some girls still dare to separate them.
The main disadvantage of IBX is the high cost of the system., moreover, the procedure is carried out both in the salon and at home. If you purchase an individual care kit, then its cost will be approximately 3,000 rubles. For a trip or novice manicure masters, it makes sense to purchase a miniature version, the price of which does not exceed 1,500 rubles. In the salon, you will have to pay from 700 to 1,500 rubles for the processing of marigolds, depending on the status of the institution and the professionalism of its employees.
Advantages and disadvantages
The IBX System has many advantages that explains its popularity among the female and male population.
- Significant changes will be noticeable after the first session: the nails will immediately appear neater and healthier.
- Due to the ability of the solutions to penetrate into the nail, the restoration will be of better quality, because it comes from the inside and cannot be somehow disturbed from the outside.
- The procedure comes to the rescue in those situations when other superficial agents fail, for example, in cases of delamination, the appearance of grooves and white spots.
- Nails not only recover, but also begin to grow faster.
- If you use the system on a regular basis, your nails will always look and feel their best. The healing layer can always be applied under the varnish coating, it is even recommended by professionals.
- The composition of the preparations contains exclusively natural ingredients, which means that the use of solutions is not prohibited even for women in position and nursing mothers.
You can also add that carrying out the procedure at home requires at least the purchase of an ultraviolet lamp, which will turn out to be an additional cost item. However, given that the purchased funds should be enough for about fifty procedures, it will be much more profitable to purchase drugs and switch to home procedures than to give about 1,000 or even more rubles each time in the salons.
Step-by-step application instructions
The procedure for applying a therapeutic coating is within thirty minutes for novice masters, then its duration is even reduced. It is absolutely safe and does not cause any discomfort to the person to whom it is performed. With the necessary skills, the IBX system can be easily implemented at home. A special advantage in this case will be the ability of the craftswoman to use gel polish on her own or to build up her nails.
- First of all, the marigolds are cleaned of the remnants of the previous coating. Next, the so-called hygienic manicure is carried out: the shape of the marigold is corrected, the cuticle and pterygium are removed. However, all this has to be done without the use of liquid. The plate must be degreased, after which the coating can be started.
- The first is the product from a 9.5 ml bottle (IBX Repair).It is applied to the plate very carefully, in one thin layer, without going over the end parts of the marigold, like an ordinary varnish. It is better to retreat one millimeter from the cuticle and lateral ridges.
- Then, for sixty seconds, the nails must be warmed up, and even devices from the usual household are suitable for this. For example, it can be a simple table lamp with an incandescent light bulb with a power of up to 75 watts, or a hairdryer at maximum power. It is important to place the fingers so that a distance of fifteen to twenty centimeters is maintained between them and the thermal element. By the way, in this case, it will not work to use LEDs or energy-saving bulbs.
- If unpleasant sensations suddenly appear, then the procedure must be urgently stopped.
- Excess non-dried preparation is removed with a dry napkin devoid of lint, after which it is necessary to use an already specialized lamp to activate the components. If this is an LED device, then a minute will be enough, and in the case of a UF lamp - a couple of minutes. The leftovers are again removed with a lint-free cloth, but this time already soaked with a disinfectant containing alcohol, but by no means acetone.
- Now you can move on to using the second nail hardener. It's called IBX and comes in a 14.3 ml bottle. Shaking the bottle slightly to mix the oils contained, you will need to apply the coating so that the butt again does not seal, that is, without touching the cuticle and the area around the nail.
- Next, the marigolds are again dried under a regular lamp or with a hair dryer, but already from three to five minutes, freed from excess and "sealed" in a special device - an ultraviolet lamp.
- At the end, it is important not to forget to degrease the plate and smear the cuticle with oil.
If this is the first time the IBX System is being used, or if the procedure is performed every four weeks, the application from the large bottle should be repeated, but the drying time should be reduced to two minutes. Treated marigolds can be immediately coated with a decorative coating or gel polish. In general, experts recommend using the system one to four times a month, depending on how weak or damaged the nail plate is. For prevention, it is enough to contact a specialist every three weeks.
In the event that the marigolds are in critical condition, they will have to be strengthened every seven days. The system is applied in the same way after the removal of the traumatic coating. When the plates have already partially recovered, the interval between treatment procedures increases to fourteen days. In addition, the treatment should be repeated immediately before building or using gel polish.
Reviews
Feedback regarding the use of IBX System products is mostly positive. Manicure specialists note that if you follow the instructions step by step, the application of the coating proceeds without complications, and clients are delighted with the effect that appears after the first application. Even four procedures are enough, and even weakened, breaking nails become much stronger. Such a procedure becomes a real salvation for young mothers, but it also helps clients who have thin, exfoliating nails from birth.
As a preventive measure, clients of salons prefer to apply the procedure approximately once a month. Among the positive changes, the girls note the disappearance of white spots, yellow stripes, dents and chips arising from active homework. In addition, the IBX system has helped many to improve the wear of the gel polish, which used to be rejected, and after the healing coating, which became the base, began to hold on better. Removing the gel polish no longer has a detrimental effect on the plates previously protected by this two-phase system.
