Sunbed Research
An important part of our business is Research and we invest a lot of time and resources in R&D. Through extensive research and study we have gained a deeper knowledge and understanding of the indoor tanning industry and explored thoroughly the health benefits of UV light. We always try to keep up with the latest updates and news and we only base our research on valid and reliable sources, supported by scientific evidence and medical proofs.
What is more, we aim at educating and training salon owners, operators and staff so as to be fully informed when advising their customers with regard to a moderate and safe tan. The following articles and links are also useful to the public and users of tanning equipment in particular, so as to help them discover the health benefits of light and eliminate concerns and fears that they may have regarding the use of sunbeds.
Please let us know if you think that any of the links is unreliable or not properly backed up.
