FAQ | Tan Hut
Sunbeds & UV Tanning
How long should I use the sunbeds for?

We offer both stand-up and lay-down beds with sessions ranging from 5 to 20+ minutes.

If you're new, start low and build gradually. Most clients increase time over a few sessions to develop a base tan, then maintain with fewer sessions.

How often can I use a sunbed?

We recommend building your base tan with a few sessions close together, then maintaining it.

Maximum: 1 session per day โ€” but realistically, most people don't need that.

Listen to your body and avoid overdoing it.

What sunbeds do you use?

We use Megasun 6000 series and Luxura V8 โ€” top-tier equipment designed for strong, even results.

Our rooms also have proper extraction systems, so you won't overheat mid-session.

Stand-up vs lay-down โ€” what's better?

Both are effective:

  • Stand-up: great for even coverage, especially sides
  • Lay-down: more relaxing, slightly more targeted exposure
  • Most clients mix both.
Light Therapy (Red, Blue & Green)
What is light therapy and how does it work?

We offer targeted light therapy using multiple wavelengths:

  • Blue (450nm)
  • Green (525nm)
  • Red (633nm, 660nm, 810nm)
  • Full body mix (525, 633, 660, 810, 940nm)

Each wavelength works at different depths of the skin and body โ€” and they don't cancel each other out, so combining them can enhance overall results.

Sessions are 15 minutes.

What is blue light good for?

Blue light (450nm) is commonly used for skin clarity and breakouts.

We recommend using a specialised cream alongside sessions to help prevent post-treatment dryness and keep skin balanced.

What is green light good for?

Green light (525nm) is often used for skin tone and pigmentation balance, helping improve overall complexion.

Using a hydrating cream before or after sessions helps maximise results and prevent dryness.

What is red light good for?

Red light (633nm, 660nm, 810nm) is used for:

  • Skin quality and collagen support
  • Recovery and general wellness

We offer pre and post red light creams designed to support collagen stimulation and enhance results.

Can I combine different light therapies?

Yes โ€” and we actually encourage it.

Our full body option combines multiple wavelengths, allowing you to target:

  • Skin
  • Recovery
  • Overall results

They work together, not against each other.

Can I use sunbeds and light therapy on the same day?

Yes.

We recommend:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Red light first, then sunbeds

This is because creams and sweat from sunbeds can slightly reduce light absorption โ€” although it will still work either way.

How often should I do light therapy?

Most clients see best results by doing a block of sessions, then maintaining.

Results vary from person to person, but consistency is key.
