With all new clients we are required and delighted to do a free 15 min consultation. We run through a thorough questionnaire to determine your particular skin type. We also run through our company's policies, rules and regulations, and advise the client of the risk. Tanning time and frequency is determined based on the clients skin type. This is fully explained to the client, once the signing of a consent form is done, the client will also receive a copy of the signed consent form. We will also discuss the before and after care of your skin.

We do a skin test as part of our company's safety regulations - to keep our clients safe. It is also required by the Auckland City Council. There are 6 different skin categories. Type 1 is very light skin, which can burn very easily. For safety reasons, clients with this skin type cannot use the sunbeds. Type 6 is dark skin, which will tan very quickly.

It is important to bear in mind - tanning is a gradual process. Every person tans at a different rate. It takes 3 - 4 sessions before seeing a colour change. Depending on your skin type you should tan 1 session every second or third day for 8 - 10 sessions to build a base tan. When having reached your desired skin colour, the achieved tan can be maintained easily by tanning once a week.

Warning notice:

1. Tanning units emit ultra-violet radiation.
2. Exposure to ultra-violet radiation from sun-beds can cause melanoma, skin cancer, skin ageing and eye damage.
3. Repeated exposure to ultra-violet radiation from sun-beds further increases risk.
4. People with fair skin who burn easily and people with any other risk factors for melanoma will not be permitted to use a tanning unit.
5. Further intentional exposure to sunlight or a tanning unit must be avoided for the next 48 hours.
6. Protective eyewear must be worn at all times while undergoing tanning unit exposure.
7. No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to use a tanning unit.
8. People who are unsure of their own personal risk of melanoma and skin cancer should consult their GP before using a tanning unit.

In recent years, a number of preconceptions have, for whatever reason, emerged in connection with the sun, sunbeds and UV light. Let us explain and put an end to some of these notions.

For instance, sometimes people claim, that the light generated in a sunbed is more harmful than natural sunlight. An absurdity, as, for example, Dr. Gerd Kindl and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Raab establish in their book “Licht und Haut” (Light and Skin). As far as these two experts are concerned, the light in modern sunbeds – which contains both UV-A and UV-B – is even healthier than natural sunlight. Users tan more quickly and they only risk getting sunburned if they overdo it.

A further preconception: exposure to UV light causes skin cancer. Not so, according to Prof. Dr. Schröpl, one of Germany’s leading dermatologists, in an interview: 

“For about 20 years now, patients with skin disorders have been exposed to high doses of UV. To date, this has not resulted in a single melanoma.”

INFO

The time for pigment to darken and regenerate, while preventing sunburn, plays an essential role in the final tanning result. Sunburn risk is as low as in any ordinary 0.3 W/m2 sunbed. 

Pigment starts to darken almost as fast on a 0.3 optimized 0.3 W/m2 sunbed as on a 0.6 W/m2 sunbed.

DIN ISO certification and eco-auditing document the high level of quality and environmental awareness that prevails not only at Ergoline.

* High safety standards – TÜV (TÜV-GS seal, JK Group certified by TÜV in compliance with DIN ES ISO 9001)

* Extensive technical testing (-GS/EMV/ETL listed)

* Innovative UV technology and a completely reconfigured UV system gives you greatly improved tanning results while complying with the EU 0.3 W/m2 standard.

* License approved by the Auckland City Council.
