The solarium can help people suffering from acne, as it causes insignificant skin peeling. In this case, from the surface of the skin cells are removed, clogging the outlets of the sebaceous glands, removing the plugs, which, in fact, are acne. After that, inflammation disappears in the problem areas. Also, a tanning salon can help with psoriasis, the use of artificial tan in this case is obvious. If the affected area of the skin is exposed to a small ultraviolet radiation, the flakes exfoliate, and the spots decrease in size. Visiting a solarium can reduce the risk of osteoporosis. After all, if vitamin D deficiency, the deficit of which reaches its maximum in the spring, slows down the body's absorption of calcium, weakness and "weakness" is felt. Ultraviolet radiation increases the content of antibodies in the blood, and thereby helps the immune system cope with colds. Sunburn in the solarium is safer than the sun, as it excludes the presence of rays S.
But there are also contraindications for sunburn in the solarium. Let's give examples when the harm of using artificial rays is contraindicated. For example, with dermatoses, dehydrated areas of the skin are overdryed, and this worsens her condition. If the skin has a severe inflammation of the ducts of the sebaceous glands, the solarium can only intensify the rash. If the dose of radiation is incorrectly chosen, the collagen ligaments of the skin are destroyed. It loses its elasticity and is covered with wrinkles (photoaging). This increases the risk of melanoma - skin cancer. People with light skin, as well as those who have numerous moles (over 100) and convex birthmarks with a diameter of more than 1 cm, are usually exposed to this danger.
The solarium is contraindicated in people with chloasma (skin areas with excessive pigmentation) and vitiligo (skin areas where pigmentation is absent). In the first case, the spots on the skin quickly darken and become more noticeable, and in the second case, the skin quickly burns out.
The solarium is completely contraindicated for those who have blood diseases, varicose veins, tuberculosis, problems with the cardiovascular system, bronchial asthma and some other diseases. .
It is also worthwhile to refrain from visiting the solarium for pregnant women, people taking hormone drugs, antibiotics, diuretics and psychotropic drugs.
If you do not belong to any of the "risk groups" listed above, and you want to look great, you can go to a solarium. The first step is consulting with a doctor, because the skin's susceptibility to sunburn is individual. People with fair skin can get burned even after a short stay in the solarium. No matter how carefully they "take" the ultraviolet, they will never have a dark brown tan. People with dark and brown skin color in the body are allocated enough melanin to fully protect themselves from the harmful effects of rays. The sensitivity of a person to sunburn depends on the amount of skin pigment and the thickness of the skin, so the tolerance of the solarium is different for everyone. The doctor will prescribe individual procedures, gradually increasing the duration of the session and the dose of radiation. Usually, initially 1 to 2 sessions a week is enough, and after 5 sessions a break about two weeks is necessary. The main thing is to stick to the golden mean and listen to your well-being.
The second step is choosing a solarium. After all, the solarium is an apparatus equipped with lamps of different power. The higher the power of the lamps, for example, 160 - 180 W each, the greater the dose of radiation. In such a solarium you can sunbathe people who have swarthy skin. If you have fair skin, visit a medium-sized solarium with lamps of 100 W each. Still need to find out when the lamps changed. After all, their service life is 540 hours. If they were replaced recently, then the time spent in the solarium should be reduced.
Solariums are horizontal and vertical. Turbosolariums are more comfortable, because they have a ventilation and cooling system that prevents the danger of overheating on the artificial sun.
On the day of the "session" you need to abandon the bath and sauna and do not wash with soap. This will preserve the protective layer of the skin and avoid its overdrying. In the professional solarium before the session you will be offered special sunglasses, a hat and plastic cones to protect the nipples. It is necessary to undress, remove all ornaments and remove cosmetics from the skin. Then apply on the skin special means for sunburn in the solarium, they will minimize the harmful effects of irradiation and enhance tan. After the session, you need to apply the lotion after sunburn and drink a glass of carrot juice, they will "show" the tan and fix it on the skin. If you still received a minor burn, moisturizing milk or kefir will help.
Here they are, the pros and cons of using a solarium. Sunburn - it's beautiful, but getting an additional amount of ultraviolet radiation, think carefully and decide whether it is for your body. Later you can regret it.
