Indoor tanning provides a controlled environment that is not affected by weather, temperature, time of year, location and other atmospheric conditions or factors that are governed by nature. A carefully researched blend of UVA and UVB light was developed to provide the best conditions for the skin to tan with minimum risks.

Please consult your physician. Although we know that there is no danger from UV rays since they cannot penetrate deeper than the dermis (skin layer).
