Sunbeds

Heatwave offers a complete tailored tanning programme based on your aims and your skin type. Our combination of controlled sunbed time and carefully matched products ensures the best possible results in the given time, while always ensuring your health is not compromised.

At your consultation you will be scheduled for a series of sunbed sessions and advised on which products are best for you. You will also be fully briefed about the practical and safety aspects of the process.

The Tanning Process

Ultraviolet (UV) light occurs naturally in sunlight, in two bands called UVA and UVB. UV exposure triggers the production of melanin by cells called melanocytes deep within the skin. The melanin rises to the upper layers, where it oxidises, darkening to form the colouring we know as a tan. This is the skin’s natural protection against overexposure to UV. We use a combined approach to maximise tanning and reduce skin damage to a minimum.

The sunbeds use UVA light to stimulate melanin release in the skin; whilst our products both moisturise the skin and encourage the melanin to rise to the upper skin layers.

Tanning and Health

Our staff at Heatwave are trained to identify the optimum tanning programme for each individual’s skin type. Under our guidance, you can confidently and safely get the tan you desire.
