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 nal 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 lter panes are defective.
8
