-" Indirect tanning". Primarily UV-B stimulates the
production of a substance called "melanin", which is
necessary for tanning. The effect does not show until a
couple of days after the sunbath.
-"Direct tanning". The UV-A and also a part of the
visible light cause quicker browning without reddening or
"getting sunburnt'.
The solarium
This solarium emits predominantly UV-A, and also a
very small amount of UV-B.
It possesses some important features which make
tanning at home comfortable and convenient.
The new type of sun lamp used in this solarium emits
light, warmth and ultraviolet, just like the natural sun.
You can position this solarium so that using it really
resembles lying in the sun: your whole body is tanned
evenly, from head to toe.
For your convenience, but also to prevent unintended
prolonged exposure (e.g. after falling asleep), timer-
controlled automatic switch-off after 29 minutes
(type HP 3132) or 30 minutes (type HP 3135) tanning is
incorporated).
As it is with the natural sun, it's wise not to have too
much of the good thing! (See section "UV and your
health")

Beside numerous other factors, such as excessive

The nature, intensity and duration of the radiation on one
hand, and the sensitivity of the individual on the other,
are decisive on the degree in which these affects can
occur.
The more the skin and eyes are exposed to UV, the
more risk increases of diseases such as inflammation of
the cornea and/or conjunctiva, damaging of the retina,
cataract, premature aging of the skin and skin tumours.
