WHY USE SUNBEDS?
 
AS A FRESH BALANCED AND INFORMED PERSPECTIVE RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THERE ARE POSITIVE AND BENEFICIAL EFFECTS FROM SAFE RESPONSIBLE USE OF INDOOR TANNING SYSTEMS SOME OF WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. VITAMIN D IS ABSORBED IN HEALTHY QUANTITIES AND IT HAS BEEN FOUND TO GREATLY IMPROVE SKELETAL STRENGTH .

2. IT ALSO LIFTS THE MOOD IN THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM THE LOSS OF LIGHT AND SUNSHINE IN WINTER MONTHS COMMONLY KNOWN AS S.A.D.

3. PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM ARTHRITIC PAIN RESPOND WELL TO THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF SUNBEDS DUE TO THE WARMTH GENERATED DURING SESSIONS.

4. SKIN DISORDERS ALSO RESPOND TO SHORT TREATMENTS AND IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR LOCAL GP`S TO RECOMMEND SUNBED USE FOR SEVERE ACNE AND PSORIASIS.

5. IN GENERAL SENSIBLE, RESPONSIBLE USE OF SUNBEDS MAKES PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE A CHANGE IN THE COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN. PEOPLE LIKE TO LOOK GOOD AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSLEVES, WHEN THEY ARE TANNED.

6. CUSTOMERS WILL (PRIOR TO TRIPS ABROAD) USE SUNBEDS TO BEGIN THE TANNING PROCESS AND FURTHER SUPPORT THIS ON THEIR RETURN.
 
BIRKDALE TANNING STUDIO WILL NOT PROMOTE THE USE OF SUNBEDS IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES.
 
1. TO PEOPLE UNDER 16 YRS OLD , YOUR SKIN IS STILL DEVELOPING AND THEREFORE MORE SENSITIVE, PLEASE DO NOT BE OFFENDED IF ASKED FOR PROOF OF AGE. ANYONE UNDER 16 YRS OLD WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO USE OUR SUNBEDS.
2. WE WILL NOT PROMOTE THE USE OF SUNBEDS TO PEOPLE WHO HAS EXPERIANCED SKIN CANCER OR MELANOMA`S.
3. PEOPLE WHO HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF MOLES AND FRECKLES. "IF YOU HAVE A MOLE THAT IS SENSITIVE PLEASE SEE YOUR GP".
4.PEOPLE WITH VERY FAIR SKIN.
5. TO PEOPLE WHO BURN EASY AND HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN.
6. TO ANY PERSON USING MEDICATION THAT PROHIBITS THEM FROM USING SUNBEDS.
