What are the benefits of using a sunbed?

 

Sunbeds offer a controlled way to tan and can provide appropriate levels of UV to ensure sufficient levels of vitamin D are achieved and maintained.

 

Tanning in sunlight means the body can be subjected to different levels of UV rays, depending on the time of day, location in the world, month of the year and so on. With a sunbed, a tanning programme can be developed to ensure skin type and the type of sunbed being used, are taken into consideration to ensure that over exposure, including the possibility of burning, is avoided.

 

Is it true there is no such thing as a safe tan?

 

No! Following the advice of our staff will ensure safe tanning, as well as following the guide lines for your type of skin. Controlled tanning in sunbeds protects against sun burn, thought to be the main cause of melanoma.

 

If you avoid getting sunburned, the benefits of moderate sun exposure will far outweigh any risks.

 

 

How many times a week can I sensibly use a sunbed?

 

People with skin type 1; children under 16 and people on certain medications that may cause photosensitivity; people with a history of skin cancer in their family should not use a sunbed at all.

 

Moderate tanning of 2-3 sessions a week is OK for everyone else but ensure you rest the skin for a minimum of 24 hours between each session and at least 48 hours for skin type 2. The European Standard advises not to exceed 60 sessions per annum.
