Solarium Tanning Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solarium?
A solarium or tanning bed is a professionally-built bed which uses a series of special lamps to generate ultraviolet radiation used to produce a tan on the human body. Solariums use a special range of lamps that produce a spectrum (type of light) very similar to the light emitted by the natural sun.
How does a solarium work?
The special UV lamps shine ultraviolet rays onto the user’s skin, causing the user’s skin to release melanin and create the tan in the same way as the natural sun does.
Note that the solarium lamps shine the UV light in carefully controlled and regulated combinations. This means the user has complete control over their exposure. That’s why people face a higher risk of over-exposure with outdoor tanning under the sun.
Is moderate UV exposure good for you?
Yes, certainly. Moderate exposure to sunlight (either outdoor sun or indoor solarium) is the only practical way for your body to manufacture activated vitamin D. There is a lot of scientific evidence proving this activated form of vitamin D is one of the most effective ways your body controls abnormal cell growth.
What is "responsible" or "moderate" tanning?
This refers to avoiding sunburn, no matter what.
In relation to tanning salons, this refers to the degree of solarium strength and frequency and depends on your individual skin type. Tan Ezy's salon professionals will consult with you and ensure your solarium tanning is both responsible and moderate.
Contrary to popular Australian belief, It is sunburn and chronic, excessive suntanning that is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer, and not moderate, responsible, controlled solarium tanning.
Is melanoma connected to UV exposure from solariums?
To the best of our knowledge, there are no scientific studies showing the exclusive connection between melanoma and UV exposure from solariums.
