safety

important information

Thank you for choosing Urban Sun Tanning Studios. We have been passionate about tanning since 1990 and have always advocated a moderate and responsible approach to both indoor and outdoor UV exposure. There are many benefits that are gained from UV exposure, not least the body’s synthesis of Vitamin D, a key component to good health. However, as with many things in life, UV light should be respected and we ask that you read the following points to ensure that you get all the benefits of UV without the risk. 

danger

Ultraviolet Radiation. Follow instructions, avoid over-exposure. As with natural sunlight, over-exposure can cause skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause premature ageing of the skin or skin cancer. If you are using any medication or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight consult your physician before use. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from our sunbeds. 

exposure schedule

In order to avoid acute injury or delayed adverse effects, the user should follow this recommended exposure schedule to build and maintain a tan. 

*Please note, if you are using the sunbed for 2 weeks or more, you will need to revise your exposure schedule with a member of staff to update your details. 

know your skin type - see staff for a consultation

Tanning sessions should be limited to once every 48 hours and not exceed 500 minutes in one year. The skin may not show any colouring for as long as 6 to 8 hours after being exposed. An appearance of tanning normally becomes visible after a few exposures and maximises after four weeks of exposure, following the recommended exposure schedule. If you do not tan in the sun you are unlikely to tan in the unit and we would recommend that you do not use our sunbeds.
