Operation Manual

The sun, tanning, how long and how often?

The sun

The sun produces various types of energy: visible light that allows us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light that

tans our skin and infrared (IR) light that gives the sun’s rays the warmth that we enjoy.

Tanning and your health

Just as with normal sunlight, the tanning process with the ProSun Sunshower takes time. The ﬁ rst results

are only visible after a few sessions. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, whether produced by the sun

or by a tanning system, can cause sunburns. Besides many other factors like excessive exposure to natu-

ral sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning system can increase the risk of skin and eye com-

plaints. The degree to which these effects occur are on the one hand determined by the nature, intensity

and the duration of the exposure and on the other hand by the sensitivity of the person in question.

Warning: DANGER-Ultraviolet Radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure. As with natural

sunlight, overexposure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may

cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY

RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONG-TERM INJURY TO THE EYES. Medications, shower products or

cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician before using

sunlamp if you are using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially

sensitive to sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use of this product.

How long and how often?

Keep to the prescribed tanning time that depends on your skin type (see the tanning table op page 3).

If this is the ﬁ rst time that you have used a tanning system, ensure that there is a break of at least 48

hours between the ﬁ rst and second session. We recommend that you rest your skin after 5 to 10 days

of sessions. Your skin will lose a lot of its colour within approximately one month after you ﬁ nished the

tanning sessions. If this is the case, you can start a new course of sessions.

If you want to keep your tan, do not stop your tanning sessions after having completed a course of ses-

sions, but continue with one or two sessions per week.
