Which treatment will minimize ridges on the toenail?

Buffing
Bleaching
Exfoliation
Massage cream

The correct answer is: Buffing

Buffing is the correct choice for minimizing ridges on toenails. This process involves using a buffer, which is a tool often made of soft material, to smooth out the surface of the nail. By carefully buffing the toenail, the technician can reduce the appearance of ridges, creating a more even texture. Proper buffing technique not only helps in making the nail surface appear smoother but also can enhance the shine of the nail without the need for additional products. This is particularly beneficial for clients who may be concerned about the aesthetics of their toenails. Other treatments listed, such as bleaching, exfoliation, and massage cream, do not specifically target the issue of ridges. Bleaching is typically used for color correction rather than structural issues. Exfoliation generally pertains to the removal of dead skin cells and does not influence the surface of the nail itself. Massage cream is focused on hydration and relaxation for the skin rather than addressing nail texture.
