Weak, broken and exfoliating nails are the problem of most girls, which sometimes can not cope with numerous surface coatings and therapeutic varnishes. In this case, the IBX System becomes the real salvation, the components of which, penetrating deep into the plate, act from the inside, and therefore are more effective. The intricacies of the use of system drugs will tell our article.
What it is?
The IBX System's internal action system is primarily designed to strengthen and repair the nail plate. The system is two-phase and is implemented using two drugs.
- One remedy (IBX) applied in two invisible layers and placed in a bottle with a volume of 14.3 milliliters. 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 nail growth.
- Other coating (IBX Repair) contained in a bottle with a volume of 9.5 milliliters and is responsible for deep recovery: filling the grooves, leveling the surface and gluing the flakes of the exfoliated marigold. It contains only natural vitamin components, for example, avocado and jojoba oils and no destructive particles.
The IBX system penetrates deep into the nail, fights against stratification of the plate, nourishes, moisturizes and accelerates its growth. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in almost any cases: if a person has too thin nails, if they are somehow damaged, covered with dents or white spots. An excellent solution is to strengthen the nails before further applying gel polish or building using a variety of techniques and materials.
There is no need to specially prepare the nails for applying IBX products. However, steaming and 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 therapeutic components inside more difficult. By the way, it will not be possible to remove the coating in any way, since the components penetrate deep inside. Therefore, do not worry that the treatment layer will fall away, its self-removal will be gradual, coinciding with the natural growth of the nail surface.
Nails coated with IBX system tools do not significantly change their appearance; they only acquire a healthy glow and do not look so weakened and deformed. This explains the popularity of the procedure not only among women, but also among men who monitor their appearance. Analogs at IBX System are not available. In addition, the drugs themselves should not be used separately, only within the framework 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 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 for beginners, 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 processing nails, 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 immediately begin to seem neater and healthier.
- Due to the ability of solutions to penetrate the inside of the nail, the restoration will turn out to be better, because it goes from the inside and cannot be somehow disturbed from the outside.
- The procedure comes to the rescue in situations where other surface treatments cannot cope, 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, then the nails will always look and feel their best. The treatment layer can always be applied under a varnish coating, it is even recommended by professionals.
- The composition of the preparations contains exclusively natural components, which means that the use of solutions is not prohibited even for women in position and nursing mothers.
We can also add that the procedure at home requires at least the purchase of an ultraviolet lamp, which will be an additional expense. 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 in salons each time.
Step-by-step application instructions
The procedure for applying a medical coating fits in thirty minutes with beginner masters, then its duration is even reduced. It is absolutely safe and does not cause any discomfort to the person to whom it is conducted. With the necessary skills, the IBX system can easily be implemented at home. A special advantage in this case will be the skill of the craftswoman to independently use gel polish or to build up nails.
- First of all, the nails are cleaned of the remnants of the previous coating. Following is the so-called hygienic manicure: the shape of the marigold is corrected, the cuticle and pterygium are removed. However, all this remains to be done without the use of liquid. The plate must be degreased, after which you can begin to apply the coating.
- The first to use the product from a bottle of 9.5 milliliters (IBX Repair).It is applied to the plate very carefully, in one thin layer, without going to the end parts of the marigold, like an ordinary varnish. It is better to retreat one millimeter from the cuticle and side rollers.
- Then, for sixty seconds, the nails must be warmed up, and even devices from the usual household goods are suitable for this. For example, it can be a simple table lamp with an incandescent bulb with a power reaching 75 watts, or a hairdryer at maximum power. It is important to place the fingers so that between them and the thermal element a distance of fifteen to twenty centimeters is maintained. By the way, using LEDs or energy-saving light bulbs in this case will not work.
- If suddenly there are discomfort, then the procedure is urgently necessary to stop.
- Excesses of the non-dried preparation are removed with a dry cloth devoid of villi, after which it is necessary to use a specialized lamp to activate the components. If this is an LED device, then minutes will be enough, and in the case of a UF-lamp - a couple of minutes. The residues are again cleaned with a lint-free cloth, but this time already wetted with a disinfectant containing alcohol, but in no case acetone.
- Now you can move on to using a second tool to strengthen nails. It is called IBX and is in a 14.3 milliliter bottle. Shaking the bottle lightly to mix the contained oils, you will need to apply a coating so that the end face is not sealed again, that is, without touching the cuticle and the area near the nail.
- Next, the nails are dried again under an ordinary lamp or with a hairdryer, but for three to five minutes, they are freed from excess and “sealed” in a special device - an ultraviolet lamp.
- In the finale, it is important not to forget to degrease the plate and spread the cuticle with oil.
If the IBX system is used for the first time or the procedure is performed every four weeks, applying the product from a large bottle should be repeated, but reducing the drying time to two minutes. Treated nails can be immediately coated with a decorative coating or gel polish. In general, experts recommend using the system from 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 once every three weeks.
In the event that the nails are in critical condition, they will have to be strengthened every seven days. In the same way, the system is applied after removing 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 the extension or use of gel polish.
Reviews
Reviews regarding the use of IBX System products are mostly positive. Manicure specialists note that if you follow the instructions step by step, then the coating is applied without complications, and customers are delighted with the effect that appears after the first application. Even four procedures are enough, and even weakened, broken nails become much stronger. This procedure becomes a real salvation for young mothers, but it also helps clients who have thin, exfoliating nails from birth.
As a preventive measure, salon clients prefer to apply the procedure about 1 time per month. Among the positive changes, the girls note the disappearance of white spots, yellow stripes, dents and chips resulting from active homework. In addition, the IBX system helped many to improve the wear of the gel polish, which was previously torn away, and after a wellness coating, which became the basis, began to hold on better. Removal of gel polish no longer has a detrimental effect on plates previously protected by this two-phase system.
