How do We TAN?

Our tanning bed emits UV light in the UVA and UVB spectrum to promote melanin production in your skin, resulting in a natural tan. Here’s how it works:

  • UVA Rays: Stimulate melanin excretion, turning it brown.

  • UVB Rays: Kick-start melanin production; also responsible for sunburns.

Tanning Process

  • Initial Sessions: Start with 10-12 individual sessions to create a base tan.

  • Maintenance: Continue tanning sessions regularly but no more than 3 times per week.

  • Frequency: Allow at least 48 hours between each session.
