Show Tanning center opens "Body Shades" Tanning Center has opened at 52 East Main in American Fork, and plans a grand opening for Saturday, April 13. Valerie Hoover, manager of the new center, said the firm is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Appointments may be made by calling 756-3955. "We have the Wolff UVA tanning system," Ms. Hoover says, noting the system is "really safer than the sun" because the burning rays (UVB) are significantly lower than those given off by the sun. 'While a lot of people are concerned con-cerned that tanning this way is dangerous, it truly is safer than the sun because the amount of burning rays are reduced," she says. The firm currently has three tanning beds, with an additional two beds to be in operation "very soon," Ms. Hoover said. She noted customers lie down to get their tans, rather than stand up as they do in some systems. She said the process helps many people with arthritis, and with psoriasis - and makes everyone feel good. With the Wolff Systems Bellarium-S Bellarium-S Superlamp, sessions vary from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on individual in-dividual skin types. Several skin types show a skin tone change after the first of second session, Ms. Hoover says. Most people will be fully tanned after eight 20-minute sessions. Once fully tanner, one or two sessions a week will keep you tan all year round, she says. You can be assured of getting the very best tan available, without spending a lot of time or money, Ms. Hoover commented. The system was developed by Friedrich Wolff of the Institute of Photobiology and Medical Technology in Frankfurt, West Germany. Ms. Hoover said the first visit to "Body Shades" is free. There are prices for single visits, ten visits, and 25 visits. Currently, a special price is being offered with a coupon in The Citizen, she said. |
