Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Why do people tan?
There are many reasons why people tan, especially indoors. Indoor tanning
provides a controlled environment compared to outdoor tanning with variables that
change constantly, including time of year, time of day, cloud cover, elevation,
location relative to equator, and others. Also, indoor tanning requires only short
sessions compared to outdoors -- so time is often a factor. For more information
on indoor tanning and reasons people tan please visit, www.tanningtruth.com.
2. What is the difference between the levels?
Level 1 beds are 20 minutes and provide a higher amount of UVB,
which will help your skin produce melanin. This bed is ideal for
fair-skinned tanners to start with. Move to the higher beds to get
darker!
Level 2 includes the 10 minute stand-up and two(2) 12 minute facial
beds. These units have more UVA which will darken you faster.
Level 3 includes two(2) high performance 12 minute facial beds.
These beds have an even higher amount of UVA to get you dark.
The Ultrabronz is a high pressure tanning unit that provides the highest
amount of UVA and very little UVB to give you the maximum tanning
power in a single session.
3. What does high pressure mean?
High pressure tanning refers to the types of lamps that are in the tanning
units. High pressure lamps are smaller lamps compared to the low
pressure lamps that are usually in tanning units. The high pressure lamps
emit a different amount and different mixture of UV. With mostly UVA
and at a higher amount, you darken the fastest. High pressure is ideal to
give your tan a huge boost and also for lighter skin types who don't have
time to work on their tan in Level 1.
4. How do I decide with what level to tan?
In general, as you move to a higher level or to the UltraBronz, you
receive more UVA than UVB which translates to a darker, faster, and
longer-lasting tan. You won't have to come in as often and your potential
to get darker is better with the higher beds. However, to decide what
level to choose, it is a mixture of your skin type, your availability to come
in, and your preference in the bed types. Lighter skin types should use
Level 1 to build up their tan and then move to the higher levels. Or if time
is limited, then use the UltraBronz. Medium to dark skin types are better
suited for Level 2 or Level 3. And again to get a super dark tan, then
upgrade to the UltraBronz. However, you can choose whatever Level
you prefer and you will get tan. Check with our staff to get more
information on what will work best for you. Also, consider that the higher
levels have lower session time and other features on the bed, including
facial lamps that can turn off, high powered fans, and more comfort (to
name just a few).
5. What are skin types?
Upon signing up for the first time, you will receive a Skin Type
Analysis. Based on the results, you will be either Skin Type 1, 2, 3, or
4. Skin Type 1 is the lightest of skin types, and Skin Type 4 is the
darkest. Your skin type will determine your first session time and can
also be used as a guide to determine what Level of bed to use.
6. What is an upgrade?
An upgrade is when you use a higher level for the day. From Level 1
to 2 is $5, Level 2 to 3 is $5, and Level 1 to 3 is $10. Upgrades for the
UltraBronz are $10, $15, and $20 (from Level 3, 2, and 1, respectively).
You can upgrade for the day whether you have sessions, short term
memberships, or monthly memberships. You must have an active
membership in order to upgrade. A Single Session is not an upgrade.
7. Why use a lotion?
There are many reasons to use a tanning product. Tanning lotions
enable your skin to produce melanin faster and more efficiently. A
lotion will also create a highly effective layer for UV to penetrate your
skin. Also, you will get maximum moisturizers and anti-oxidants to
help nourish your skin. And don't forget, you will not get fillers with
any of our products. Bottom line: you get tan faster and don't have to
come in as often!
