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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is difficult to make a simple comparison between the sun and modern indoor tanning equipment. Just as various kinds of indoor tanning lamps and equipment differ in spectral output and energy emitted, the sun's strength is dependent on several factors as well, such as the time of day or year, the latitude, cloud cover, pollution and reflection. Consequently, there is no formula for relating indoor tanning exposure times to outdoor exposure times.

Absolutely! The SPF levels of the suit will tend to be lower due to UV rays coming from multiple light sources (tanning lamps) rather thanfrom a single source (the sun) as it does during outdoor tanning. SPF levels will therefore range from 2 to 6 depending on the type of tanning bed used.
