Ridge fillers are primarily used for clients who need:

A stronger nail bed
To help smooth the nail plate's surface
A longer lasting manicure
More decoration on their nails

The correct answer is: To help smooth the nail plate's surface

Ridge fillers are products specifically designed to help smooth out the surface of the nail plate. They are particularly beneficial for clients who have ridges or imperfections on their nails, which may result from various factors, including aging, health conditions, or past nail damage. By applying a ridge filler, the technician creates a more even and textured surface, making it easier to apply nail polish and achieving a polished, professional appearance. The filler serves as a base that not only conceals the ridges but also provides a smoother canvas for subsequent nail treatments. While ridge fillers can contribute to a longer-lasting manicure and may appeal to aesthetic preferences, their primary function is to improve the smoothness of the nail plate itself.
