KiwiSun is a worldwide known franchise company with more than 25 years of professional experience. Our customers can achieve the expected beautiful brown skin level in a safe environment, which is ensured by a centrally supervised system and adherence hygiene rules and services. Our employees receive regular training to best meet the needs and expectations of our guests.

In our KiwiSun salons, our guests can enjoy the tanning process ensured by green light therapy, and they can also feel recharge and relax at the same time. We only use low-pressure tanning process, so-called spaghetti lamps for the face, shoulders, decolletage and legs, which ensure tanning in a gentler way than halogen lamps.

In our tanning devices we provide a unique experience of a nourishing tan. If it was not enough, we try to make your experience unforgettable by offering the KiwiSun infrared light stand-up machines, which provide a more efficient, deeper tanning result, as the infra opens the pores up and creates a more longer lasting tan.

There is no difference between the machines, they all proved the same tanning result, same strength. A new regulation now requires all sunbeds to have a maximum radiance level of 0.3W/m2 and this will mean the length of a session will need to be increased to achieve the same dosage.

We pay close attention to regular tube replacement in order to always provide the best possible service.

Our well-trained staff is always happy to help and recommend you the right session time for your skin type.

Children under 18 and people on certain medications that may cause photo sensitivity; people with a history of skin cancer in their family should not use a sunbed at all. Moderate tanning of 2-3 sessions a week is OK for everyone else but ensure you rest the skin for a minimum of 24 hours between each session, and at least 48 hours for skin types I. and II. The European Standard advises not to exceed 60 sessions per annum.

There are three kinds of ultraviolet rays, UVA, UVB and UVC. Only the first two (UVA and UVB) are used in indoor tanning equipment. UVC is really dangerous and is absorbed by the ozone layer to not reach the earth (you will never meet UVC in tanning sunbeds).

UVA radiation contributes to the oxidation and activation of melanin which already exists in the upper skin cells and induces a dark colour, which can be achieved faster, but it is temporary.

On the other hand, UVB rays are responsible for the production of new melanin which leads to a more intense and long-lasting tan. Research shows that UVB also plays a significant role in the production of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is associated with reduced risks of cancer and several other health benefits. Approximately 90% of the requisite Vitamin D is formed through the sun, and the UVB in particular, and many incidents of Vitamin D deficiency have been reported in countries like the UK, where people are not exposed to enough sunlight throughout the year.

It’s important that tanners use the correct products when using a sunbed.

It is always important to apply sunscreen to your tattoo whenever it’s going to be exposed to the sun. The sunscreen should be at least factor 30 to keep as many UV rays from penetrating the lotion (and your skin) as possible.

As well as affecting the end result, wearing makeup while you’re tanning is also not recommended because it has the following consequences: it clogs your pores, it can cause breakouts and irritation, and it can result in blotchiness. Therefore, we always provide make-up removers in order to encourage our clients that cleanse their face skin before having a sunbed session.

The answer is simple. Usually, when using a lay down machine, it occurs at the plexiglass and the point of contact with the body due to the more limited blood circulation, slower tanning process. It is recommended to use the standing and lying solariums alternately.

When you get waxed it exfoliates the area. This removes all the dead skin that provides a layer of protection from sunburn. You need to give your skin at least 24 hours (2-3 days if possible) to regenerate its protection.

After your treatment, your skin will be sensitive and will need time to heal. Excessive exposure to UV rays currently risks damage to your skin, so it’s highly recommended to avoid sunbathing and tanning beds until you finish all your laser sessions.

A shower before your tanning session is preferable as it ensures your skin is clean and ready to absorb the tanning lotion. It is also worth noting that some tanning lotions use delayed and/or cosmetic bronzers, that need at least 4 hours on the skin to give optimal results. Showering immediately afterwards washes away the hydration and bronzers provided by the lotions. If you do need to shower soon after, just make sure you use a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

Unfortunately, it is not sufficient to just shut your eyes during a tanning session. UV light easily penetrates your eyelids’ thin layer of skin, damaging your eyes. It is extremely important that you wear goggles or stickers that provide a broad-spectrum protection towards both UVA and UVB.
