Tanning instructions
As a rule, an averagely tanning skin has achieved
a uniform tan after three to five tanning sessions.
These sessions should take place every second day.
To preserve the suntan achieved, one or two tanning
sessions per week are normally sufficient.
Instructions for the user
Observe the following tanning instructions:
NO SUNSCREEN WITH PROTECTION FACTOR
Sunscreens with sun protection factors are unsuitable
for use in a tanning salon. For tanning, the skin
should have been thoroughly cleaned and be dry. For
optimum skin care, we recommend using our body-
care products after tanning.
GENERAL
• Any person that complies with the requirements
laid down in the chapter “Intended use” may use
the tanning device.
• Never exceed your personal minimum erythema
dose (MED). Follow the prescribed exposure times.
• If reddening of the skin (erythema) occurs hours
after tanning, temporarily stop tanning. After a
week the tanning can be resumed at the beginning
of the tanning table.
• If unexpected effects (such as itching) occur within
48 hours after the first tanning session, you should
consult a physician before tanning again.
• Once final tanning has been achieved, additional
tanning is only possible by greatly exceeding the
permissible tanning times. It is essential to avoid
this.
• UV-radiation from the sun or from UV-devices can
cause irreversible skin or eye damage. These bio-
logical effects depend on the type and amount of
radiation as well as on the individual sensitivity of
the skin.
• In cases of pronounced individual sensitivity or allergic
reactions to UV-radiation, a physician should be con-
sulted before beginning tanning.
• After excessive exposure to radiation, the skin may
exhibit sunburn. Excessively repeated exposure to
UV radiation of sunlight or UV appliances can result
in premature ageing of the skin and in a higher risk
of skin cancer.
• The unprotected eye can suffer from surface
inflammation, and in certain cases, e.g. after a cat-
aract operation, excessive radiation can damage
the retina. After many repeated sessions, a cata-
ract may form.
• Seek medical advice if persistent swellings or sores
develop on the skin or if pigmented moles change
in appearance.
FOR EACH TANNING SESSION
• Always wear the supplied protective goggles. Con-
tact lenses or sunglasses are no substitute for the
protective goggles!
• Remove cosmetics before tanning and do not use
any sunscreen, or products that accelerate tanning.
• Allow for at least 48 hours to pass between
sessions.
• After a tanning session in a studio, do not take
another sunbath out of doors on the same day
• Protect sensitive areas, such as scars, tattoos, and
genitalia, from radiation.
