Uvb Tanning Lights

Light bulbs bad for us?

Since scientist say the sun is bad and that tanning bed lights are bad, wouldn’t that mean regular lights bulbs are bad also? They do give off heat and such… I don’t know if they give off radiation or UVA or UVB Rays, I don’t think they do anyway, but they could be doing something else, I know I get headaches if it’s way to bright from florescent lights or something.

Regular (incandescent) bulbs do not emit UV light like fluorescents do. Firstly, the filament temperature is not high enough to permit it to cast UV light.
Secondly, the glass envelope surrounding the filament is usually made of non-quartz glass which attenuates the UV light.
The mercury vapor in fluorescents when excited by electrons, produces + UV light which causes the coating on the inside of the glass envelope to fluoresce thereby producing light.
Be aware that serious damage can occur to the retina of the eyes if they're so exposed to this light.

Tanning Bed $70.1 A tanning bed or sunbed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation (typically 95 UVA and 5 UVB, +/3) used to produce a cosmetic tan. Regular tanning beds use several fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends designed to emit UV in a spectrum that is somewhat similar to the sun. Smaller, home tanning beds usually have 12 to 28 100 watt lamps while systems found in salons can run from 24 to 60 lamps, each consuming 100 to 200 watts.There are also high pressure tanning beds that generate primarily UVA with some UVB by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are much more expensive, thus less commonly used. A tanning booth is quite similar to a tanning bed, but the individual stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.

Sunless Tanning $79.66 Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.

Jasmine Flavonoids - Strengthens the skin’s natural protection The skin naturally produces free radicals, which are unstable and polluting molecules.  When exposed to UVA, responsible for skin aging, and the UVB, responsible for sunburn, this natural production increases.  The natural defense systems of the skin care saturated and the photo-aging process accelerates.  By enhancing the natural system of the skin with jasmine flavonoids, Sothys sun care products work to strengthen the defense system, significantly limiting the production of free radicals in the skin.  The skin is better protected and photo-aging damaged is reduced. Net Weight: 150 ml/5.07 oz.

Tanning Addiction $79.66 Tanning addiction is a rare syndrome where an individual appears to have a physical and/or psychological addiction to sunbathing or the use of tanning beds. The mechanism of the addiction is unknown at this time.In 2005, a group of dermatologists published a study showing that frequent tanners experience a loss of control over their tanning schedule, displaying a pattern of addiction similar to smokers and alcoholics.Biochemical evidence indicates that tanning addicts are addicted to an opioid release experienced during tanning. When frequent tanners took an endorphin blocker in a 2006 study, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms, while infrequent tanners experienced no withdrawal symptoms under the same conditions.

Ways To Imrpove Your Health Using Therapy Lights

Bringing the sunshine indoors. That is how some people describe the benefits of therapy lights.  Scientists believe that simulated bright light has an effect on chemicals in your brain and your skin and can be used to help some conditions.  There are many different types of therapy lights so I'm going to described some of them and the disorders they can be used with:

Light boxes (Phototherapy or bright light therapy)

Many therapists have noticed that sitting near a simulated sunlight box can alleviate symptoms for some complaints. The strength of the light should be at least 2,500lux and daily exposure is required. Remember that a medical practitioner must prescribe the strength and type of light used as well as the duration of exposure.

SAD Lights

Otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder or its mildest form 'Winter Blues'.  You don't have to be a genius to know that we all feel better during the long sunny days of summer. We seem to have more energy too. You lose some of that enthusiasm in the winter when there are not so many daylight hours. Some people get 'winter blues' which makes them feel lethargic and 'under the weather', with a tendency to overeat. For others this becomes severe enough it to disrupt their lives and cause a lot of upset.   It can also affect the way we behave.

The symptoms usually start at the beginning of the winter season and begin to get better when spring arrives in March and April.  It may not be necessary to use light SAD therapy daily during the winter months and advice from a trained professional is advised.

Jetlag and Sleep Disorders

Where the circadian rhythms or body clock of the brain have been affected by periods of sleep deprivation or extended night or daytime hours. Flying over time zones can have this effect. The light box can simulate the difference between waking hours and sleep or night time and helps to re-adjust the body and brain into rhythm quickly.

Alzheimer's and Dementia

A regular topic in many research papers on Alzheimer's Disease is the damage that happens to the part of the brain that controls the circadian rhythms.  The combination of damaged nerve pathways and poor eyesight as you get older can mean that indoor levels of light are not enough to identify the difference between daytime and night time.  Experiments using therapy lights and light boxes have found that they can help maintain Alzheimer sufferers' rest and activity cycles for longer.

UVB/UVA1 light

The same technology that is used for sunbeds in tanning shops can also help to ease stubborn patches of psoriasis, vitiligo, stretch marks and pale scars. The light must be focussed on the affected patch without unwanted exposure to normal skin.

Coloured-light therapy or Intense Pulsed Light

These types of therapy lights use filtered floodlights to bathe the skin in light of different colors.  Different color filters have proven better for different disorders:

Blue:  is used to destroy the bacteria that cause acne.
Green:  is used to treat pigment irregularities e.g. liver spots, age spots
Yellow:  for vascular conditions such as thread veins and rosacea.
Combination green and yellow:  smoothes away fine lines and wrinkles.
Red: has been found to be effective in the relief of headaches and, when concentrated in one area, for the relief of arthritic pain.

Low-level laser light (Ruby and KTP) therapy

Developed to help reduce patches of discoloured skin, such as birthmarks or moles. Laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the skin causing it to break up in darker areas and help to make it look more normal.

The above two systems of therapy lights can be combined and used to remove areas where the person believes they have too much hair.
