While indoor sunbathing is a cosmetic service, a well-known side effect of exposing the skin to ultraviolet (UV) light is the production of vitamin D. Like the outdoor sun, indoor sunbathing equipment stimulates the human body to product vitamin D. Emerging evidence suggests a large portion of Canadians are vitamin D deficient, especially in the cooler months of the year. Research also suggests that vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining good health.

So keep that smile popping through the winter months and feel good; get your vitamin D on.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is incredibly vital for your organs, nerves, blood, and (of course) your skin. Not only is it your body’s primary and natural way to produce vitamin D, it also helps improve your vitality. Research shows healthy levels of vitamin D in your blood will lower your risk of heart disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other illnesses.

Undoubtedly, life would not exist without sunlight. On the other hand, overexposure to UV light is linked to increase your risk of skin cancer. Overexposure is different depending on skin type, and we have trained our staff to help you choose a level of UV light.

Vitamin D production improves your vitality towards disease, but did you also know that it can act as an anti-depressant as well? Recent and past studies show undeniable physiological as well as psychological effects to the body’s production of vitamin D.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the development of the brain. When you tan indoors or receive natural sunlight, your body begins producing vitamin D, which sends a unique signal to the brain. This signal tells the brain to produce what scientists call monoamines. One of these monoamines is serotonin, which is vital to mental wellbeing and happiness.

If you’ve never eaten super spicy food before, you wouldn’t start by eating a ghost pepper. Your tongue and spice, is similar to your skin and UV light. You need to know your skin before you jump body-first into a tanning bed. Understanding what level and time frame you need is vital to healthy exposure.

If you’re unsure, our on-site staff can help determine which level and time is right for you. We’ve been doing this for over a decade, because we know our stuff.
