Indoor Tanning Chases Away the Winter Blues
SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is caused by a severe lack of UV light. It’s often associated with the winter because of the shorter daytime hours and the resulting lack of Vitamin-D. Lethargy, depression and energy depletion are the typical symptoms of SAD that can be alleviated to some degree by tanning sessions. And, stimulating the production of the D vitamin is important for many more reasons.
Tanning Indoors Stimulates the Production of Health Smart Vitamin D
Vitamin D is crucial for optimum health and there’s only one way to get it naturally. It’s produced when ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the skin for conversion by the body.
A lack of the D vitamin can cause very serious health issues. In fact, the more severe the depletion of Vitamin D – the more severe the health consequences can be! Research findings show that those with the lowest levels of vitamin D are at more than twice the risk of heart disease than those who have the highest levels. There is a significantly increased risk of heart attacks. Depleted levels of this vitamin also contribute to premature aging, osteoporosis and several types of cancers. Lung cancer, ovarian and breast cancers, kidney cancer and many others have an established correlation with severe D deficiency.
BENEFITS OF HIGH PRESSURE TANNING
What is High Pressure Tanning?High pressure tanning is an exciting new alternative to traditional indoor tanning. The high pressure tanning system uses "high pressure" quartz lamps as opposed to "low pressure" conventional fluorescent tubular lamps. High pressure tanning is able to provide a faster, deeper longer lasting tan than conventional tanning with a greatly reduced risk of sunburn.
How does High Pressure Tanning Work?Humans normally exfoliate (shed) their skin about every 28 days. Constant exposure to UVB light in conventional tanning beds accelerates this cycle to somewhere between 5 to 10 days. Since UVB light tans only your outer layer of skin which exfoliates every 5 to 10 days, your tan fades if left more than just a few days go by between tanning sessions. Also, in response to UVB, your outer layer of skin thickens as a natural barrier to further UVB exposure. High pressure beds tan with virtually 100% UVA rays, allowing your skin to return to its normal 28 day cycle. High pressure tanning also tans deeper, so even as your other layer exfoliates, the layer beneath is still tan. Simply put, UVA is a deeper penetrating ray than UVB. Unlike UVB that hardly penetrates deep into the levels of elasticine and collagen, the connective tissue of the skin. With almost pure UVA which is the bronzing ray you will achieve a deep dark tan with out burning because of little UVB the redding and burning ray. High pressure lamps increase the amount of energy that is released so that the tanning process is triggered in much less time. One 15 minute session in Matrix bed or 10 minutes in the Stand Up Saturn unit could be compared to 8 to 12 sessions in a conventional low pressure bed, or 4 hours in midday summer sun.
Advantages of High Pressure Tanning
Saves time: With fewer tanning sessions needed think of all the time you will be saving!
Fewer sessions: Means less overall exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Save money: You will achieve your tan in just 3 to 6 sessions and your tan will last 3 to 4 times longer, so you will save time and money by not having to tan as often.
On the go: Try the Saturn Stand up High Pressure unit. This is a 360o degree tanning unit that will tan both sides of your body in less time. Total tan time is just 10 minutes. The Saturn is also equipped with a facial tanner that can be adjusted to your height and can also be used as a shoulder tanner half way through your session.
Comfortable: With the Saturn you will be standing up during your session which does away with pressure marks and lines under your arms and no sweating.
Cool: High Pressure tanning units are cooled with built in cooling systems. There are dual speed body cooling fans that can be adjusted to blow cool air over your entire body. There is very little perspiration and you get no unpleasant tanning smell.
