What is the difference between a tanning bed (UV solarium only), a collagen bed ( red light only) and a Collatan bed (UV and red light)
Posted by Adam Taylor on 31st Jul 2020
Whilst it may sound pretty obvious there are a few differences that you may need to consider when looking at purchasing a bed. Solaire Light Therapy can cater for every personal preferences but you will to consider what your end goal is.
We have a video that explains the differences or you can read through this blog. The video is on our U TUBE channel. This Link is coming .... stay tuned.
UV TANNING BED ONLY
Watch our U Tube Video Here:
A UV tanning bed only will only tan you. The time will vary on your skin type and you tan the same as you would have tanned in a commercial bed in your tan in a home tanning bed.
They are exactly the same as the commercial beds EXCEPT they are not designed to put through 200 people a day only for home use.
The UV tanning bed produce the EXACT same result as a commercial unit, the only thing is that as the beds are not as powerful, it will take abit more time in a home unit.
It will also depend on time depending on the strength of the lamps. Lamps vary between 1% and 2.8% UVA.UVB ratio. The higher the % the stronger the lamp. The results are the same just time related. THINK going outdoors on a 40oC day you will tan faster than a 20oC day. But you will get the same tan on both days. You will just need to spend more time out doors on the 20oC day.
However, having said that, you build up your tanning time as you would have in a commercial bed. Start at say 5 - 10 mins, tan every second day. Start at the right time for your skin type say 10 mins, tan three times at 10 mins, then put the time up to 11 mins. Tan for three times for 11 mins, then go up to 12 mins and etc - until you reach the max time.
COLLAGEN/RED LIGHT THERAPY BED ONLY
Watch our U Tube Video Here:
DO NOT USE UNITS THAT OFFER PLACE ONE UV AND THEN ONE RED LIGHT GLOBES - YOU WILL GET STRIPING.
The terms LED and light therapy are used as interchangeable terms and mean the same thing. Although technically "LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is a computer chip encased in a glass-like resin, which emits therapeutic wavelengths (or colours) of light energy,". Whereas light therapy can also be available in globes or tubes that emit therapeutic wavelengths of light.
The terms red light therapy and collagen therapy are interchangeable and mean the same thing. Red light has a wavelength of 600-760 nm nanometers. The nanometer is a unit of distance in the metric scale and is abbreviated as nm. One nanometer (nm) equals one thousand millionths of a meter (m) or 1 nm = 10-9 m
So how does this work?
The cells in the dermis layer of skin will convert that light energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the fuel that the cell uses to do its job. The fibroblast cells in the dermis layer have the job of producing collagen (which gives the skin fullness or that plumped look) and elastin (which gives the skin the ability to bounce back). At around the age of 30 this process in the body begins to slow down and thus fine lines and wrinkles start to become noticeable. The stimulated fibroblasts cells produce collagen and elastin. It is like rewinding back to being 25 years old again. Red Light is also thought to reduce inflammation while improving circulation, which can give you a healthier glow.

UV TANNING BED and COLLAGEN/RED LIGHT THERAPY BED = THE COLLAGEN SUN
Watch our U Tube Video Here:
Hapro Collagen Sun offers skin care and tanning at the same time. The red light stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, boosting the elasticity and flexibility of the skin and making the skin stronger. The tanning process is accelerated because the red light enters deep into the skin. This stimulates the blood circulation and intensifies the tanning process, leading to excellent tanning results without needing a higher dose of UV light.
The full benefit of the collagen /red light therapy starts at 20 mins, and the lamps have been designed at a 1% so that at 20 mins you get the full benefits of the red light therapy and the tanning function.
However, having said that, you build up your tanning time as you would have in a commercial bed. Start at say 10 mins, tan every second day. Start at the right time for your skin type say 10 mins, tan three times at 10 mins, then put the time up to 11 mins. Tan for three times for 11 mins, then go up to 12 mins and etc - until you reach the max time.
Yes, the tanning result is the same as a tanning bed alone and yes it is the same that we use to get in the commercial beds. You will just need to build up to 20 mins sessions to get the max effect.
