16/10/22 - "Sunbeds provide UVB light to boost the body's natural Vitamin D production from Autumn into the Winter months as the natural daylight deminishes, there is now also growing evidence to support the use of Ultra-Violet light sunbeds to boost Vitamin D production to aid immunity or reduce the symptoms of COVID"

Sunbeds are Vitamin machines that have many health benefits (Sunlight Institute)
Vitamin D is essential for good health (Sunbed Association)
* In Accordance with the Sunbed Association' Code of Practice -
"should not use a sunbed more than 60 sessions a year, an average session is about 10 minutes"
- From this video; Spreading 60 sessions of 10 minutes evenly over a year
could equate to an even weekly maximum of 12 minute session Sunbed exposure at Remedy Rooms, but we would also recommend a minimum of 48 hours between sessions so in theory it should be possible to safely benefit from two separate 6 minute sessions per week all year round
to develop your skins natural resistance to UV Radiation burning (aka 'Tan')
"Sunshine helps skin stay young"
A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, a study has found.
Vitamin D, produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight, may help to slow the ageing process, according to scientists.
And the "sunshine vitamin" may also help protect against
age-related diseases, such as heart disease.
Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in DNA.
As people get older their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses.
But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.
The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole.
Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said: "These results are exciting because they demonstrate for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D, this could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer." He said further studies are required to confirm the findings.
Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: "Although it might sound absurd, it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the ageing process in general."
