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 ﬁnal 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 inﬂamed 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 ﬁlter 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 ﬁrst 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.
