9. CAN I GET A SPRAY TAN WHILE PREGNANT?

Yes, you can but only after the first trimester and with approval from your doctor.

10. ARE TANNING SUPPLIES DISINFECTED?

Yes, not only am I Barbicide certified, but I also strongly believe in cleanliness. Brushes, foam rollers, and sponges will not be shared between guests. All surfaces are sanitized after every session.

11. WHAT DOES A CUSTOM TAN ENTAIL?

The guest’s skin tone and Fitzpatrick skin type will be determined during consultation. A unique blend of ingredients will be used to complement the guest’s skin, with a preference for the level of darkness.

12. WHAT IF I AM POSSIBLY ALLERGIC TO THE INGREDIENTS OF THE TAN?

I can send an ingredient list to review, and can also provide a patch test days before the appointment.

13. HOW SHOULD I SLEEP IN MY TAN?

Be cautious of using cotton sheets, as the bronzer transfers easily to cotton. Satin sheets are best to avoid color transfer and staining. Recommendations can be provided.

14. WILL MY SPRAY TAN BE STREAKY AND BLOTCHY?

No, if all prep and aftercare instructions are followed accurately, this will not occur. In rare instances, some types of medications, including antibiotics, hormones, chemotherapy, thyroid meds, can alter the results of the sunless tan. Always avoid bar soaps, such as Dove, before and after spray tans.

15. WILL I LOOK ORANGE AFTER MY SPRAY TAN?

No, sunless solutions have advanced significantly over the years with improved ingredients and quality DHA. The solutions are hand-picked to complement skin tones and avoid unwanted colors. If a spray tan is left on too long and not rinsed in time, it could possibly leave an unnatural tone. This is why it’s important to follow all instructions for rinse times.

16. WHEN DO I SHOWER AFTER A RAPID TAN?

Rinse time will vary per person. You must follow instructions given at the appointment. Standard rinse times vary between 1 to 5 hours.

17. HOW DO I MAINTAIN A SPRAY TAN ON VACATION?

Avoid soaking in water, saunas, hot tubs, and moisturize and hydrate regularly. Travel kits including touch-up spray and tan extend moisturizer are highly recommended. Please always wear sunscreen, as the spray tan does not protect from harmful UV rays.

18. IS TEETH WHITENING PERMANENT?

No, teeth whitening is temporary. Lasts about 6 to 12 months, and touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the preferred level of whiteness. Diet, smoking, and genetics play a significant role in longevity. Home care products are available for purchase.

19. WHAT IS THE “WHITE DIET” AFTER TEETH WHITENING?

For 24 to 48 hours after whitening, avoid foods and beverages with color, tannins, and high acidity. Recommended: water, milk, white wine, vodka, gin, chicken, turkey, white fish, white rice, white pasta, potatoes (no skin), white cheese, cauliflower, cottage cheese, bananas. Avoid: OJ, acidic fruit juices, tea, coffee, red wine, energy drinks, dark beer, carrots, yams, orange fruit/veggies, broccoli.

20. WILL I HAVE SENSITIVITY WITH TEETH WHITENING?

It is fairly uncommon to experience teeth sensitivity and 'zingers' with the strength of hydrogen peroxide used in cosmetic teeth whitening. The service includes up to three 15-minute sessions under the LED light because sensitivity is more common after a fourth session.

21. IS RED LIGHT THERAPY BENEFICIAL FOR THE SKIN?

Absolutely, and it's scientifically proven through numerous clinical studies. We use several wavelengths in red light therapy, including the 633, which is proven to enhance skin quality and collagen synthesis. A series of at least 12 sessions, spaced at least 48 hours apart, is recommended. It takes approximately 90 days for new collagen to form, but some results may become apparent within a few weeks. After treatment, it's important to maintain with weekly sessions to continue providing energy to the cells.

22. HOW DOES RED LIGHT THERAPY WORK?

Photobiomodulation, also known as red light therapy, utilizes light energy that penetrates various levels of the body, depending on the wavelength used. This light stimulates cells, increasing energy production for greater efficiency. For skin, it induces fibroblasts to increase collagen production, improving skin structure, strength, and elasticity. It enhances blood circulation and reduces tissue inflammation, thereby improving wound healing, reducing stretch marks, wrinkles, age spots, fine lines, and improving facial texture, psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, scars, sun-damaged skin, acne, and even hair growth.

23. IS RED LIGHT THERAPY SAFE?

Yes, red light therapy is safe unless you have light sensitivity, are taking medications that cause light sensitivity, have ocular disorders, or suffer from migraines.

24. HOW LONG IS THE RED LIGHT THERAPY TREATMENT?

The duration of red light therapy is dose-dependent, based on the duration of treatment and the irradiance of the LEDs. Treatment time, established during the consultation, varies depending on the body and concerns but will not exceed 20 minutes.

25. HOW DOES RED LIGHT ASSIST IN SUNLESS TANNING?

The quality of a tan depends on the quality of the skin. Sunless tanning improves skin by avoiding UV rays and by applying high-quality ingredients to the skin's surface during the session. Treating the skin at the cellular level with red light therapy offers long-term benefits in both the tan's quality and the overall health of the skin.

26. HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A RED LIGHT THERAPY SESSION?

All makeup, except mascara, must be removed before a red light therapy session; water wipes are provided if the client arrives with makeup. The skin must be free from barriers like topical sunscreen and moisturizers to allow effective light penetration. Disposable garments and gowns are provided, depending on the body part being treated.
