Sun-tanning in a tanning-room brings opportunities, which you will not find at the beach or pool.
Guarantee a sky without clouds, with a shining sun, without the risk of sudden changes in weather and, above all, regardless of season – these are just a few advantages of the tanning room. In addition, in a tanning-room we are able to create a plan for tanning that is right for our skin and phototypes. Without the facility of the tanning room we would be dependent on weather conditions, leisure time and other factors that we may not be able to work with.
Modern tanning beds allow us to obtain some tan even in one session, which would be visible only after a whole day spent in the sun on a cloudless day.
Today's technologies allow us to not only think carefully about any visit to the tanning salon but also to avoid the negative tanning aspects such as dry skin or sun burn.
Qualified personnel work in the tanning room and they can generate an individual tanning plan for each client, having regard to their skin phototype and past experience with tanning. Professional tanning products, designed to work best in the tanning room care for the skin and allow a longer lasting beautiful tan.
You can visit the tanning room whenever you want - "every day" and every season, even if we have very little time to build a beautiful tan.

1. What does the SkinControl measure?
SkinControl does measure the tanning power of your tanning bedsand the resistance of your customers’ skin to UV-rays.
2. How is UV-radiation being measured?
SkinControl has an integral UV-measuring system, the complete tanning bed tunnel (canopy, bench, left and right section) will be measured during one measuring process.
3. What is beeing measured during measuring process?
In terms of physics it will be differentiated between UV-A and UV-B, yet, for the tanning process the intensity of radiation power to finally cause sunburn is decisive. This erythema-causing radiation power is defined as the power and the share of UV-radiation which will lead to sunburn (erythema).
4. How are tanning beds being measured?
Due to use tanning lamps will loose a certain portion of their radiation power. In order to take this reduction in power into considerationfor the tanning process, tanning beds will be measured between once a week and once a month. Thus the tanning time will alwaysbe kept to the optimum according to the tanning power of the lamps and sunburn will be avoided.
5. How does measuring of the skin function?
The hand-held sensor will send a UV-ray (absolutely not dangerousfor the skin) to the clients skin. A receiver in the device measures how the skin does reflect and absorbe this UV-ray.
6. How does the skin reflect the radiation?
This reflection forms the decisive protection against UV-radiation and is and is caused by lifeless cell structures of the top layer of the epidermis. This is also known as Keratosis (so-called Lichtschwiele). In other words, the top layer of the live cell structures.
7. How is your colour being measured?
SkinControl does not measure the colour of skin. SkinControl measures the protective function of the skin, the thickness of the Keratosis and the size of the pigments.
8. How much radiation penetrates the skin?
According to the thickness of the Keratosis UV-radiation penetrates to the live cell structures, here we also find the pigments.
9. What is the function of the pigment?
The pigment forms a cap over the nucleus and absorbes the radiation which hits the cell. Hence it protects the nucleus.
10. How is the pigment changing?
SkinControl measures the size of the pigment which is bigger when the skin is tanned compared to the untanned skin. The bigger the pigment the more radiation is beeing absorbed which does mean: the nucleus is protected much better.
