Red Light Therapy Tanning Beds for Skin-rejuvenation.

Does the fear of wrinkles and premature aging of your skin keep you away from using sunbeds?

In that case red light therapy tanning is for you.

By now, you must have heard about the importance for your health of having a high enough level of vitamin D. Most likely you are also aware of the fact that we are meant to get most of our vitamin D from exposure to UVB-rays. You can get UVB from sunshine but only on a clear day when the sun is higher than 45 degrees above the horizon. For many of us living in cities or far away from the equator, sunshine is not a viable option as a regular, all year round, source of UVB for vitamin D. Sunbeds, on the other hand, can give you UVB and vitamin D at any location and time and in any weather. 

Hopefully you are clever enough not to have been fooled by the anti-tanning propaganda and skin-cancer scare from the dermatologists paid by the cosmetic sunscreen industry.

You might, however, still believe that using sunbeds regularly can give you wrinkles and make your skin age prematurely. For sure, using sunbeds too much and too often can add some extra wrinkles on your face. Unfortunately, many indoor tanners do just that in their quest of becoming as dark as possible.

If used correctly, for a healthy skin-tone and as a source of vitamin D, sunbeds can help you not only to stay healthy but also to keep your skin fresh and smooth. But still there is this nagging thought of getting wrinkles from the sunbed and looking older than your age.

Here is the good news: The new hybrid technology for indoor tanning will not only prevent new wrinkles, but also reduce existing.

The combination of lamps with red light and UV lamps in RED LIGHT THERAPY TANNING BEDS, will give you the best of both worlds – red-light for collagen repair plus ultraviolet light for vitamin D and other benefits of UV-exposure. Today’s sunbeds are not the perfect alternatives to the real sun.

The sunlamp was invented as a substitute for sunlight. But even if it is technically possible to make a sunlamp which emits the full spectrum of sunlight, commercial sunbeds have become the source of mainly ultraviolet light. The reason for that comes from the market demand from customers to tanning salons to get an immediate visible tanning result during a short tanning session. If the available power in a sunbed would be spread over the whole sunlight spectra, the session time in order to catch a tan, would be unreasonably long. Actually just like under the natural sunlight.

Sunbeds with red light therapy in addition to the traditional UVA and UVB are now getting known as hybrid sunbeds.

Other names used are: Collarium; Solagen; Collatan and CollaD sunbeds (they can of course be horizontal as well as vertical).

They are one step closer to the ultimate role of sunbeds to become a more complete alternative to the natural sun in a modern urban environment.

Red light (633 nm wavelength) increases the collagen in your skin and thus reduces wrinkles and make your skin look younger.

Even if the red light also does increase the blood circulation in the skin, do not mix up this visible red light with the invisible infrared light which has longer waves which penetrate deeper into the skin and cause a heating effect there.

The increased blood circulation from the red light is in general beneficial for the skin, but even more so in combination with the ultraviolet light.

It brings more oxygen and antioxidants (like astaxanthin and Omega 6, which are a good idea to take before a tanning session) from the blood into the process of tanning and skin-rejuvenation.
