NO, just as the word indicates outdoor products should ONLY be used outdoors, as they can cause a film on the acrylic. This actually inhibits the tanning process, rather than acting as an amplifying agent. There are many excellent indoor tanning products for that purpose. Ask our tanning professional for recommendations.

Probably not. Some skin types tan quickly and easily while others just don't have the pigmentation necessary to develop much of a tan. If you have "type 1" skin It's recommended that you not tan at all. Type 1 skin is skin that always burns easily and severely, tans little and peels. This condition is most common with people that have fair skin, blue eyes and freckles. Approximately 5% of the population is unable to tan. We would recommend you try one of our UV free tanning options.

Yes, but if the area around your neurostimulator feels feel warm while you are in a tanning bed, you should get out.

The Original and Clear NicoDerm CQ patches can be worn while in the sun or tanning bed. However, the patches have not been demonstrated to be effective protection against sun exposure. Use of sunscreens with the patch is not recommended because it may affect the adhesion. Therefore, if you are planning on using the patch while tanning, you may want to place it in area that will not be exposed.

It might be really tempting to get some rays during the summer months, but before you ruin your tattoo, please read this article about Tattoos and Tanning.

Yes. If you plan to tan in a UV bed and the Sunless Express Spray Spa on the same day, we recommend you tan in the UV bed first. Tanning in the UV bed after the Sunless Express Spray Spa may alter your results due to the heat and perspiration.

Usually, you will tan about as well indoors as you do outdoors. If you have never been able to produce a tan outdoors, you will not be able to produce a tan indoors either. Some who do not tan well outdoors are able to tan indoors in a controlled environment with the right amount of exposure in carefully controlled intervals.

It depends on where you live. Typically the tanning equipment will ship the day after the order is received. Your tanning bed should arrive within 7 to 10 business days.

A number of skin irritations may occur with indoor tanning. The causes and treatment are as follows: 1. Dry skin. Use a good moisturizer. 2. Sensitivity to UV rays or prone to heat rash. Tan for shorter sessions and avoid tanning during busy times when beds are warm. 3. Chemicals, lotions. or cleaners used on tanning beds may cause itching. Discontinue use of any suspected product.

For Caucasian patients we prefer that you do not use these products while you are having laser sessions. Simply said, the lighter your skin stays, the better your results will be. When your skin is tan we have to "protect the pigment in your skin" from the laser. When your skin is lighter, we can simply target the pigment in your hair with more energy. For people of color, the situation is a bit different.

Since the ingredients used in VISIFIRM™ may make your skin more sensitive to the sun, we suggest you avoid tanning beds.

Expert bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration do recommend that tanning booths should be avoided. This does not mean that everyone who uses a tanning booth will have an adverse health effect. Likewise, people who go out in the sunlight unprotected from the UV will not all suffer harmful effects. Of course, we should be aware that some harmful effects like skin cancer take many years to appear. Expert recommendations are made based on health studies from large groups of people.

At ULTRATAN we use Australian Gold and Swedish Beauty skin care products. These tanning formulas are nature-based to promote the darkest tan and healthiest-looking skin possible, so the tan you get is your own... naturally! The Australian Gold Institute researchers are pioneers in the creation of premium tanning and skincare products, so every tanning formula that you buy here at ULTRATAN contains years of tanning and skincare research that leads the tanning industry.

One of the physical characteristics of stretch-marked scar tissue is that the pigmentation in it changes and it no longer tans evenly with the rest of your undamaged skin. While there should be no adverse affect from using Renaissance while you are tanning, it may be more difficult to recognize the dramatic changes taking place. It is recommended that you apply at least an SPF 30 sun block to the affected area after Renaissance has completely absorbed into your skin.

Indoor tanning lotions also known as "accelerators" add nutrients your body needs to produce melanin. Our line of quality accelerators contain vitamin A, C, E, and botanicals that moisturize and increase blood flow, thus increasing oxygenation of melanin cells to help speed up the tanning process. UV rays reflect off of dry skin, the moisturizers in tanning accelerators help you absorb UV rays for better results. You will tan about twice as fast and keep your tan twice as long.

Ultraviolet radiation does not penetrate to any significant depth in the body. Therefore, there would be little or no risk to sperm.

Your first session length will depend upon your skin tone and type, and your tanning professional will ask you to fill out a skin analysis to help determine your skin type. Also taken into consideration is how long it has been since you last tanned. The most common skin type is Type 3, who typically tan for 10-12 minutes the first time in a machine that has a 20 minute maximum. Back to Top

This depends on your Individual and Unique Skin Type. You will complete a skin type analysis with a Sun Kiss consultant to determine your individual skin type, from level one to six. Based on your skin type, our consultant will recommend and regulate the tanning time that is best for your skin. Your tanning time also depends on the units that best fit your tanning needs.

Yes, but call ahead of time to make sure the system is in stock. We will reserve one and have it ready at our docks.

Call us; we will take care of everything. This is one advantage of purchasing from us; we do not ship "Freight Collect", where you would have to file the claims. Call and we will help assess the damage and either ship a new tanning bed or a new part, depending on what is needed. Damage in transit happens in less than 1% of the tanning beds we ship, so it is not likely that this will become an issue.

Acrylics should obviously be replaced when they are broken, especially if the crack is large enough to either pinch a customer, or break completely and further damage your tanning unit. One of the biggest mistakes of salon owners is waiting for their acrylics to break before replacing them. Even if your acrylic appears to be in perfect shape, over a period of time it will begin to block a percentage of the UV light. Most acrylics should be replaced every 1500-3000 hours.

Since each tanning bed is in a private room, you can wear (or not wear) whatever you are most comfortable in.

In tanning booths it is the ultraviolet (UV) light bulbs emitting UV radiation that causes the tanning. This, essentially, is artificially produced UV light similar to that coming from the sun. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been associated with an increased risk of skin cancer by epidemiological studies that have looked at causal factors in individuals who have skin cancer.

Because tanning beds expose your skin to extreme levels of UV radiation, which may react with the ingredients in Hydroderm?, we recommend that you avoid tanning beds. While most people using Hydroderm? do not have a reaction to normal levels of direct sunlight, tanning beds pose greater risk. Several recent studies suggest that tanning beds, even for those with resistant skin, may not be a wise choice anyway, for they may contribute to damage that develops over the long-term.

Absolutely. In fact, the sunless tanning results are phenomenal over a nice base tan. If you want to combine both applications in a single visit, we recommend to use the tanning bed first, then the sunless unit. You can use a tanning lotion in the tanning bed like you always do. However, make sure it is rubbed into the skin really well and use a towel to wipe away any excess lotion or perspiration after getting out of the tanning bed.

Yes, water beds won’t give you as much support as regular mattresses, but the Bedge will still be effective. Typical wedges are much shorter than the Bedge. They may simply bend the neck and elevate the head, without raising the esophagus above the stomach. Unless you elevate the whole upper body, you’re not getting gravity to work for you in keeping acid from refluxing. In addition, the Bedge is made of an extra firm polyether and has a comfortable, "egg crate" sleeping surface.

A high-pressure bed is composed of high wattage lamps which produce UV A rays. A regular- pressure bed is composed of lower wattage bulbs which produce UV B rays. UVA and UVB are both forms of ultraviolet light emitted by the sun. While both are involved in obtaining a tan, they each penetrate your skin to cause different reactions. While UVB is a necessary ingredient for acquiring a tan it stimulates melanocytes in your skin to produce melanin while UVA darkens the melanin, forming a tan.

YES. It is very important that you have some type of lotion on your skin when you tan. Maintaining your skin's moisture is vital to achieving a healthy tan. Without the use of a good lotion, you will run the risk of dry skin, premature aging, and your tan will fade very quickly. A good lotion will moisturize your skin, help you produce more melanin, and help hold your tan much longer.
