We offer 6 levels of high and low pressure UV tanning ranging from 8 to 30 minute sessions. Usually, results are noticeable after 3 tanning sessions, but it may take a few weeks of consistency to get a defined tan (at least 3-4 times a week) If you are preparing a base tan before going on a vacation, consider starting tanning 4-5 weeks prior.
Hybrid tanning beds that are capable of delivering this two-pronged service exist, but they are by no means readily available. In fact, you may had to search a bit before you found us, the reason is the technology itself is fairly new, primarily because red light therapy has only recently been explored and discovered to have tremendous benefits.
Red light therapy uses photobiomodulation, which is a low-level laser litherapy that delivers red and near-infrared light to the deepest layer of the dermis. In doing this, it helps regenerate cells, restore cell function and trigger blood flow. In turn, this helps to heal skin issues and relieve pain.
Infrared saunas provide a non-invasive, relaxing, and refreshing approach to soothe itchy, sore, dry, and reddened skin as well as acne treatment, helping oneself manage the symptoms of skin conditions and detoxing the body.
A spray tan covers your skin imperfections and acts as makeup for your whole body. Spray tans help mask acne scars, uneven skin tone, hyper-pigmentation, stretch marks, varicose veins, blemishes and other skin imperfections.
With a custom airbrush tan, the technician will apply a personalized shade just right for your skin tone. In addition to giving you glowing skin, an airbrush tan can minimize your imperfections and enhance your overall look.
EXFOLIATE! This is the MOST Important part to your sunless spray tan.
Ideally, this should be done 6-8 hours before your spray tan. We suggest using a loofah or a dry brush with a SALT based exfoliating scrub. NO Sugar Scrubs as for they leave a film on the skin that the DHA does not react well with.
We highly recommend for you to come in with clean, dry, exfoliated skin. Avoid applying make-up or using any perfumes, deodorants, skin lotions, etc., after your exfoliation process. Clean, Dry Skin is BEST! Also, wash your hair prior to your session, as for we do not recommend washing again for at least 24 hours after your sunless session.
Any shaving, waxing, laser hair removal, or other hair removal type treatments should be conducted at least 24 hours before your sunless session. For best results, other body treatments such as manicures/pedicures, facials and massages should also be conducted prior to your sunless session.
Dark, loose-fitting clothing after your session is best. Do not wear jeans, tight leggings, socks/sneakers or white clothing for your sunless session. Maxi Dresses or Lounge Pants & a Baggy T-Shirt are Best. Our solution DOES NOT stain, but just to keep your mind at ease.
Avoid coming into contact with water (shower, sweat from exercise, swimming, washing dishes) after your session, 6-8 hours minimum. The longer you wait, the deeper your results will develop. It typically takes 8-12 hours for your full development.
Your sunless spray tan should last you about 5-7 days with proper maintenance; using the right aftercare products and keeping the skin hydrated. To achieve maximum results, we recommend using products sold at Tropic Tan before and after your sunless sessions.
