Why indoor tanning?
Indoor tanning is in a controlled environment. Outdoors is not. The time of day, the time of the year, the weather, and environmental factors all contribute to an unpredictability of tanning and sun burning outdoors. Tanning beds are designed and our consultants are trained to provide you with enough exposure to the tanning rays to tan without burning. Outdoors this threshold is difficult to determine and is easy to misjudge. Indoors you receive a precise computer-timed session with consistent output from the tanning beds, rain or shine! Although both the sun and tanning beds produce ultraviolet light, the C wavelength is the most harmful and is filtered out by the tanning lamps. (Ultraviolet C light waves are the type that penetrates the earth through a weakened ozone layer). Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths are produced by both the sun and by tanning beds and excess exposure can be harmful so the benefit of tanning in a controlled, predictable indoor tanning environment is obvious.
