Q: What is a tanning salon?
A: A tanning salon is a facility that offers indoor tanning services using specialized equipment. These services primarily involve exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, either through tanning beds or sunless tanning methods.
Q: How do tanning beds work?
A: Tanning beds use fluorescent lamps to emit UV radiation, simulating the sun's rays. These rays primarily consist of UVA and UVB rays, which can darken the skin. The beds typically have adjustable settings to control the amount and intensity of UV radiation based on the individual's preferences.
Q: Are tanning beds safe?
A: While tanning beds can provide a tan, it is important to note that UV radiation exposure carries potential risks. Overexposure to UV radiation can lead to sunburn, premature aging, eye damage, and an increased risk of skin cancer. It is recommended to follow safe tanning practices and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns. Farrah Rose recommends you follow our Skin Tone Chart (Fitzpatrick Scale) when determining tanning times and regimens for your safety and care.
Q: How long does a tanning session typically last?
A: The duration of a tanning session varies depending on individual needs and the tanning salon's policies. It can range from a few minutes to around 20 minutes per session. Farrah Rose suggest starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing the duration to avoid overexposure.
Q: What should I wear during a tanning session?
A: Most tanning salons require clients to wear minimal clothing or swimwear for an even tan. It is generally advised to avoid wearing jewelry, makeup, or any other materials that could potentially interact with the tanning process. It is required at Farrah Rose to use our FDA-approved eye-wear for your safety.
Q: Can pregnant women use tanning beds?
A: The use of tanning beds during pregnancy is generally discouraged due to the risks associated with UV radiation. Pregnancy can cause hormonal changes that make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, increasing the chance of sunburn. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before considering any tanning activities during pregnancy.
Q: Are there any age restrictions for using tanning beds?
A: Age restrictions for tanning bed usage will be 14 and over with parental consent and waiver. All of our clients 18 and under are required to have a Parent/Guardian Consent Form completed before they gain access to the Lounge.
Q: How can I maintain my tan after visiting a tanning salon?
A: To maximize the longevity of your tan, it is recommended to moisturize your skin regularly using a suitable lotion. Avoid exfoliating or using harsh scrubs, as these can speed up the fading process. Additionally, limiting your sun exposure and using sunscreen when outdoors can help preserve your tan while protecting your skin from further damage.
