9. Tanning instructions
9.1 General tanning instructions
1
Different skin types react differently to sun and tanning times. Follow the
skin type table and the individual tanning program (see p. 56 ff.).
Once you have reached your fi nal tanning result, further tanning can only
be achieved by considerably exceeding the recommended tanning times.
This has to be avoided at all costs!!
2
UV radiation from the sun or from UV apparatuses may cause damages
to skin or eyes. These biological effects depend upon the quality and
quantity of the radiation as well as on the skin and eye sensitivity of the
individual customer.
3
Sunburn can be a reaction of the skin after excessive radiation.
Excessively repeated exposures to UV radiation from the sun or from UV
apparatuses may lead to premature ageing of the skin and increase the
risk of getting skin cancer.
4
Unprotected eyes may become infl amed on their surface or in some
cases, e.g. after a cataract operation, the retina can be damaged after
an excessive UV exposure. Cataracts may develop after many repeated
exposures.
5
Special care is necessary in cases of pronounced individual sensitivity
to UV radiation and in cases where certain medicines or cosmetics are
applied.
6
It cannot be said in any case that the use of a sunbed reduces the risk of
getting sunburn.
7
The apparatus must not be operated when the timer or the fi lter panes are
defective.
8
The following safety precautions have to be taken: Safety precautions
• Always use the goggles provided.
• Remove any cosmetics before the tanning session and do not
use any sunscreens.
• Refrain from tanning when taking medicine which increases the
sensitivity to ultra-violet radiation. If in doubt, ask your doctor for
advice.
• Allow a period of at least 48 hours between the fi rst two tanning
sessions; do not sunbathe and use the apparatus on the same
day.
• Follow the recommendations concerning tanning times and
tanning intervals (see 56 ff).
• See a doctor when your skin produces persistent swellings or
sore points, or when pigmented moles change their appearance.
