General tanning instructions

Who can get a tan?
Anyone who also gets a tan in natural sunlight. Persons with sensitive
skin even tan more pleasantly and with fewer worries, as the radiation
dosage can be exactly defined with sunbeds.
Certain drugs – particularly those that produce photosensitivity – may
cause individuals under the influence of this type drug to experience ad-
verse effects and those people should avoid exposure to UV sources of
all kinds. Doctors will advice people taking these drugs to possible ad-
verse effects.
The speed and intensity with which someone tans are dependent on the
skin type and the individual melanin quantity in the skin. No two individual
skin tones are the same. A tan to one person may be different to another
and treatment length may vary.
What is Melanin?
The brownish pigment produced by special cells in the base layer of your
skin determines the individual's tan. As the skin is exposed to the ultravi-
olet light, the melanin is activated and combines with protein cells that
rise to the skin's surface, thus producing a tan. The amount of melanin in
your body determines how quickly and dark you tan. The more melanin
produced and exposure time an individual has, the faster and deeper the
individual will tan.
Note:
The tan produced by the tanning unit is a deep, rich "Cos-
metic" tan. However, regardless of how dark an individual
may tan on his system, it will not provide adequate protec-
tion against overexposure to natural sunlight or UVB tan-
ning systems.
Which tanning times are recommended?
Although there is virtually no reason to worry about sunburn with the UV
tanning method, some consideration should initially be given to individual
skin sensitivity.
Danger of skin injuries and skin diseases!
Although UVA radiation is relatively harmless compared to
natural sunlight, excessive tanning times can lead to the
skin becoming red and to burns.
DANGER!
– Comply with the recommended tanning times,
see Page 5.
Once you have a tan, 1 to 2 tanning sessions per week are usually suffi-
cient to maintain it.
Should you use sun screen?
No! It is recommended to not use sun screens, oils or lotions intended for
outdoor use. Cosmetic sun screens with a sun protection factor (SPF)
are intended to filter out the sun's aggressive rays. However, the light of
our sunbeds only contains extremely small quantities of comparable
rays, making this kind of protection unnecessary. On the contrary, the
