The most common tanning myth is that harmful UV rays from the bed heighten the risk of developing skin cancer – more so than tanning outside under the direct rays of the sun. It has been proven that tanning beds are created to maximize the tan and minimize the burn therefore decreasing the risk of the tanner developing skin cancer.

It is another myth that tanning beds can clear acne and create clearer skin in the individual of the tanner. Tanning creates oil within the skin but at the same time can take the moisture out of the skin. It is important to remember that scars do not often tan and tanning can make the scars appear whiter.

It is sometimes thought that oil is a suitable alternative to tanning bed lotion with bronzers and moisturizers. This is not the case. It is important that we realize the dangers of using oil: including – the risk of burning and accelerated damage to the skin. Again, it is not safe to use tanning oil in a tanning bed.

Twenty minutes in the tanning bed has been compared to three to four hours under the sun. There is a difference in the rays of the sun and the tanning bed. Tanning beds are safe if used in conjunction with proper tanning lotions and the proper precautions are taken to ensure that the tanner does not burn.

Ergoline tanning beds are found in many prestigious tanning salons and one of the most popular brands in the tanning world. There are four major series within the brands and each range in price and encompass different features. If you are looking for a tanning bed for your salon, Ergoline tanning beds are the company to purchase from. They have a proven track record and always satisfy tanning clients.

The prestige series in the Ergoline tanning bed line has the ability to mist water on the face at selected intervals. This is a nice refresher, as we are all aware how stifling it can become in other tanning beds. The environment is climate controlled and comfortable with rests for the arms and the feet. Additionally, it has the capability to have an mp3 player attached to the bed to give the tanner their personal selection of music.

Next, is the advantage series of Ergoline tanning beds and is available in super power or turbo power. There is extra power around the face so the tanner can receive the ultimate tan – this is one of the best tanning beds available on the market for the pricing point that it comes with.

The Affinity series is available in three models; the 500, 600 and 800. The glass is filtered to optimize the UV output and therefore results in a more even, quicker, tan. The voice guide contains all of the controls to listen to music and adjust your tanning experience.

Lastly, is the open sun series of Ergoline tanning. They are made to encompass the feeling of the open sun and no longer enclosed tanning. The turbo lights create a powerful UV environment, optimizing the tan – no more claustrophobia while using open sun! This is the most forward of the line, bringing us into the future of tanning.

There are so many different types of indoor tanning beds that we can't mention them all here, but we can give you an overview of the most commonly used beds and the pros and cons of each.

For example, Beach Bum Tanning Salon offers a range of about five different beds you can choose from before starting a session. The size and quality of the tanning salon will determine what beds you have to choose from. Employees of tanning salons usually grade each bed by the amount of "burn" or "browning" it delivers. Cheaper beds tend to leave the tanner redder and possibly more burnt, where expensive top-of-the-line beds usually have very minimal burning and an abundance of browning. So basically, paying less doesn't necessarily mean you will only be tanning for less time, it usually means you are going to get an inferior bed.

If you can spare some cash it is recommended to tan in high "browning" beds and to avoid being "burnt" when you leave your session. Not only will you look better but it is most likely worse for your skin to actually get burnt when you tan. High quality, expensive beds will leave you golden brown when your session is over, the optimal desired effect. Tanning beds alone do not do all of the work... indoor tanning lotions are a key component of the perfect looking tan - and also healthier skin.

If a tanning salon offers you a range of tanning beds to choose from it is recommended to select a bed from the mid to upper levels. While it might not be the cheapest choice, you will have a much better looking tan and your skin will feel better from an expensive bed. Plus, top of the line tanning beds usually have additional bells and whistles that the cheap beds do not, like advanced temperature and fan controls and even built-in water spritzers!

A word of caution - be careful not to tan for too long because expensive beds make it feel realllly good to just lay there forever. Tanning sessions in indoor tanning beds should last for a maximum of 15-17 minutes to prevent dangerous skin damage.

I recently got breast implants but I am a frequent tanner and didn't want to lose my color. I was concerned that I would not be allowed to go in a tanning bed because of the recent surgery and found myself wondering what the correlation between breast implants and tanning beds was. Well let me clear up all your breast implant, tanning bed, x-ray and going back to work questions.

Breast implants and tanning beds are real simple to understand. For the first 3 weeks I believe your surgeon does not want you to go tanning at all. Sorry guys! I know that sucks to hear but you will be more satisfied with your new breasts than the tan! Once he gives you the OK or 3 weeks have passed you can go tanning. I found that tanning lotions are semi resistant to the skin around the breasts for quite some time but it does not effect the tan you get. Your tanning lotion might seem to peel or flake off which might seem strange to you but fear not! You MUST wear either band-aids, steri strips or cover the area where the scars are. Otherwise they will heal poorly and possibly get inflamed. You should continue this for quite some time, until your doctor has told you otherwise, which mine has not yet and it has been just about 3 months.

I got breast implants on March 29,2007. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Some might laugh at that statement but when your not satisfied with the way you look, you know what I mean. I was a small to medium B prior and now I am a 34 D. I was terrified but extremely excited. Everything was provided for me and when I say this I mean I had a ride to and from the surgery center, pain meds. for the after recovery period and about 10 days to be exact before I had any real activities to go back to like school and work. I believe that this procedure is perfectly safe, although several other sites and commenters might believe differently.

Some might think that the surgery is very painful and you will be off your feet for quite sometime, but I had a different experience. Breast implants for the first 30 days do look like they are set very high up. Fear not, they will drop a decent amount unless you told the surgeon to purposely put them high up. (I did) The first day after your surgery you will not feel too much pain. Yet on the other hand my two friends did the procedure shortly after me and felt different. They experience more pain then I did. One could not walk she was in so much pain and the other merely felt weak, tired and uncomfortable but that all disappeared after a week. For me on the other hand, and I remind you I do NOT handle pain well, felt better after 3 days. The first day you are very doped up on pain meds and you feel slight pain but mainly don't mind it and want to sleep. My throat hurt also, as to they put a tube down it to help your breathing. That too passes after a couple of days.

The most painful part I think was getting up and off your bed. It just feels very uncomfortable. I do not advise going to look for a bra anytime until 2-3 months have passed since your surgery. I got a couple of cheap ones about a month after and was a 34 C but now it has almost been 3 months and I had to buy all new bras today which were 34 D and don't even get me started on padded bra's. In simple terms... you do not need them and if you want to wear one it frankly feels very weird and compresses against the implant.

Can you have x-rays with breast implants? Yes you can. Although I believe the x-rays come out better and more accurate if you have the implants UNDER the muscle some choose to have it done over the muscle. When getting your surgery you have an option of either under or over, most people get under the muscle because it is safer, looks more natural and allows breast exams to be performed easily and accurately. (For those of you with Breast Cancer in your family, like myself)

How soon after breast augmentation can you return to work? It definitely varies on the person but from my opinion and several people who have gotten it, you can usually return to work after a week to 2 weeks. For some like my boyfriend's mother, you can return after just a few days, about 3 to be precise. I waited about 10 days before returning to anything extreme. You are not allowed to drive for a week and it is kind of weird once you start driving. NO talking on your cell phone in one hand and turning the wheel with the other. (I already tried that and it was pretty hard) They are still new and swollen and you should really use both hands. Even though seat belts are required by law and for your safety I recommend putting it on but putting the part that crosses over your chest in back of you. It feels better and prevents any rubbing which can be uncomfortable.

How long does it take to heal after breast augmentation? As I stated earlier I would say somewhere between a few days to a week and a half. You will feel great at times and others it might hit you and you might want to go home or lay down for bit. I felt it was a coming and going process. The official time I felt 100% Ok was 3 weeks after. I would say almost all of the pain, swelling, random aches and pains were gone. I was able to go to the gym again shortly after that. The doctor usually says about 6 weeks before you can go to the gym but in some cases like my own it might be shorter. You should definitely wait at least a month before beginning your exercise routine again. DO NOT lift any weights for about 6 weeks or more. My surgeon told me after 6 weeks I can begin doing arm exercises again but I chose not to and waited till almost 2 months had passed. At first you are weak and you will probably get sore easily but you should regain all your ability in lifting weights back shortly. Some females find it difficult forever to lift weights afterwards.

What is and how to avoid capsular contraction after breast augmentation? This is when you gain lumping at the bottoms of your breasts. It is not a pleasant thing to experience and it looks quite ugly. It causes your breasts to harden and not get soft. Not many people get this problem but it does occur and especially in smokers. I was a smoker and I stopped smoking for a month before my surgery and about 2 months after. I did not have the problem. For those of you who are smokers, that is what I would recommend to do. Smoking is a major cause of capsular contraction. It is only fixable through surgery and I think very rarely through injections into the breast. Most often the scenario is that you need to have the surgery over again and hope that it doesn't happen again.

If you are wondering what size cc's to go I can tell you now that everyone looks different in the cc's. It depends on your frame and the width of your breasts. I got 350 implants filled up to 375 and I am now a decent size 34 D. Prior to surgery I was a 34 B in those infamous Victoria Secret padded bra's. This will not necessarily give you the same results. I heard that one way of seeing if you like the size you have decided to go is to get a zip lock bag and fill it with the same amount of water as cc's you would be getting. There are several sites which explain how the two correlate. You can also do the same with pantyhose and sand. I'm not too familiar with exactly how that one works though.

Well I think that should answer the bulk of your breast implant / breast augmentation questions so good luck on finding yourself a wonderful doctor!
