Extend the beauty of your gel nails! Essential maintenance for a flawless manicure.
To maintain a perfect gel manicure and protect your natural nails, regular top-ups are essential. At Pana Beauty in Lausanne, our experts precisely fill in the regrowth area, rebalance the nail structure, and restore shape and shine to your original application using high-quality professional gels.
Infilling involves filling the space created by the regrowth of your natural nail between the cuticle and the old gel application. At Pana Beauty, we start by preparing the nail (removing the polish, gently filing the old gel), then we apply the new gel only to the regrowth area, blending it perfectly with the old application. We then restore the desired shape to the entire nail and finish with the color or finish.
To maintain an aesthetic result and avoid peeling or breakage due to structural imbalance, we recommend a refill every 3 to 4 weeks at Pana Beauty, depending on the growth rate of your nails.
Waiting too long (more than 4-5 weeks) weakens the extension. The stress point shifts, increasing the risk of breakage of both the natural nail and the extension. In addition, significant regrowth will require more work and could result in additional costs or even the need for a complete reapplication.
No, not when done correctly by professionals like Pana Beauty. We use gentle, controlled filing techniques to prepare the nail, never over-thinning it. Regular filling, on the other hand, helps protect the natural nail underneath.
