Manicures and Pedicures

I had a pacemaker implanted two months ago, does anyone know if it's ok to use the dryers in nail salons for gel nails and the jetted tubs for pedicures?
thanks!

It's just light, no problem. The only thing we have to watch out for is magnets. If you pace with rate response, you may feel weird if you turn on the massage chairs. It can mistake the vibration of the chair for activity and raise your rate. It's harmless, just feels weird.

It's fine.

As far as I know yes.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
