Tube Station Tanning Salon Brighton with Infra Tan

Safe tanning – what you need to know

How the sun affects you
We get a suntan when invisible Ultraviolet UVB and UVA rays from the sun ‘brown’ the skin pigment – melanin – in your cells. The intensity of these rays varies considerably, depending on where you are in the world, and when. But controlling your exposure is vital.

Need to know: Skin cancer
Over-exposure to UV can mean sunburn, permanent skin damage and – potentially – one of two types of skin cancer; non-melanoma is normally easily treated while malignant melanoma can be fatal if not treated early enough.

Sunbeds and suntans
A sunbed tanning programme considers skin type and avoids over-exposure and burning. Sunbeds control their UV output to maximise your tan and minimise the risk of burning. Unlike sunbathing, sunbed use is supervised and Tube Station is accredited by the Sunbed Association.

Sensible sunbed use
The length of a sunbed session will depend on the type of sunbed being used, your skin type and the development point of your tan, but will never pass your MED (minimal erythemal dose) – the point prior to over-exposure.

Sunbeds and the Under 16s The Sunbed Association’s (TSA) Code of Practice follows both the European Standard EN 60335-2-27: 2003 and the government’s guidance on UV tanning equipment (INDG209) which forbids children under 16 years from using sunbeds, even with parental consent.
