The more skin and eyes are exposed to UV, the more risk increases of
diseases such as inflammation of the cornea and/or conjunctiva,
damaging of the retina, cataract, premature aging of the skin and skin
tumours.
Certain medicines and cosmetics increase the sensitivity to UV.
Therefore, it is of great importance
- that you follow the instructions in sections "Important" and "UV
sessions: how often? And how long?";
- that you select the advised operational distance of at least 20 cm
(approx. 8");
- that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per
year (Please see the section "UV sessions (...)" which applies to your
solarium type number!);
- that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning.
UV sessions: how often? And how long?
For solarium type HB 554 (8 tube lamps) only
You may have one UV session per day, over a period of five to ten
days. Allow at least 48 hours between the first two sessions.
After such a course, you may rest the skin for a while.
Approximately one month after a course your skin will have lost much
of the tan.You might then decide to start a new course.
On the other hand, it is also possible to have one or two UV sessions
per week after a course has elapsed in order to keep up the tan.
Whatever you may prefer, make sure that you do not exceed the
maximum amount of tanning hours per year.
- For solarium type HB 554 (8 tube lamps) this is 26 hours (= 1560
minutes).
Example
Imagine that you take a 10 day UV course, with a 10 minute session on
the first day and 25 minutes' sessions on the nine following days.
The entire course then includes (1 x 10 minutes) + (9 x 25 minutes)
=235 minutes.
◗ When using solarium type HB 554 (with 8 tube lamps), you may
have 6 of these courses over a year. (As 6 x 235 minutes = 1410
minutes.)
Of course, this maximum amount of tanning hours is valid for each
treated part or side of the body separately.
(E.g. for the front side of your body and for the other side.)
From the table it will be seen that the first session of a course should
have a duration of 10 minutes.
This is not dependent upon individual skin sensitivity.
