Unfortunatley not...you can however get higher output lamps..have a look at uvlogistics.co.uk there the UV lamp specolists that could reccomend possibly a higher UV output lamp to tyhe one you may currently be using

I can't quite believe that people are still offering sunbeds! Not to mention the risk of skin cancers they cause premature ageing of the skin.

thanks ill have alook

my nanna is always telling me off for using it lol

She has a point. When you're having an excision of a basal cell carcinoma you'll be wishing you'd listened to her!
Why not find a decent spray tanner?

That's going to be more confusing and harder a task than you think.

I am going to stand up for sun bed's though right now...well to a certain point anyways .

The PROPER use of sun bed's is without a doubt beneficial to the user....incorrect used however...(which is what is happening today with the consumers stupidity and the manufacturers ever willingness to feed that stupidity)...extremely harmful and poses many down line problem issues for the user/provider.

One glass of red wine is good for you...a whole bottle ain't...its time more regulations were placed on salons offering this service as well as a lot more funding to "educate " the consumer...like the quit smoking adverts etc etc

Sorry, but I dont agree - and i might be trapping into a hornets nest here - but as with everything.........in the right dosage it can actually do you good!!!

Drink a glass of red wine and it will do your liver and heart the world of good................drink a bottle and you are damaging your body!!!
The same goes for suntanning..........all those that go on holiday and pop onto the beach at 9am and dont leave there till 6pm dont need to worry the least about sunbeds because they will to a lot less damage than what they have done all day staying in the sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The same applies to sunbeds: if you stay in the recommended time and dosage for your skin type you are fine and can gain all the benefits doctors reap about...however if you insist on going onto a 200w sunbed for 20 mins you are a fool and it will do you harm just like drinking too much alcohol, driving too fast or any other stupid thing will do....soooooooo think in dosage and respect the recommendations and everyone - ie you and your clients will benefit!!!

Depends on how much skin cancer your clients want

Steady now - there are people who think that it's ok to use them!

Why do you think that sray tan is better then suneds? Can you garantee me than your spray contents only healthy igredients and does not harm my skin?

No, but I can guarantee that overuse of sunbeds will damage your skin and your health!

UVR is not the only cause of skin cancer. Many things contribute to skin cancer including chemical exposure and genetics.

The most exposure from UVR, absorbed during a persons lifetime, is going to be from the sun and not sunbeds.

There's an old saying... "A little of what you fancy does you no harm". Remember, water can kill you in two ways (if you fall in it or drink too much) so should we stop drinking it?

Overuse of sunbeds WILL damage your skin and your health.

Hi Lynne,

Here's a quote from your link "Like the sun, sunbeds give out harmful UV rays which damage the DNA in our skin cells and can cause skin cancer." This is the point I'm trying to make. The press has concentrated on the dangers of sunbeds, when the dangers are, potentially, from both sunbeds and the sun.

But I'm also trying to make the point that UVA has been around from the dawn of time and life has been exposed to it and have survived because of it. People have the right to get a natural tan if they want but everybody also needs to be, sensibly, educated about the dangers too.
