The Positive Effects Of Tanning Beds On Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Is it true that tanning beds can alleviate the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder? It's been said that getting exposure to ultraviolet rays can help alleviate the symptoms of SAD*. If you have Seasonal Affective Disorder, your body changes with the shorter days by increasing its melatonin during the winter months. An increase in melatonin levels causes depression. Serotonin is a naturally produced hormone that improves mood and brings the melatonin under control. Traditionally, light therapy is used with special UV lamps to treat SAD. However, some say indoor tanning will produce the same effects, as well as give your skin a healthy glow*!

Indoor tanning is not related to the seasons and can be done at your leisure. For occasional depression, some say a few minutes spent with a tanning bed is a perfect solution*. When you purchase one of our tanning beds, you are saying goodbye to making appointments, the long drive and working the sessions into your schedule. For those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder, easy access to an upright tanning booth may make a lot of sense and it just might help with those winter blues.

Our patented vertical tanning bed systems fold away and are a cinch to clean up. Contact us or give us a call today to see how you can afford a remarkeable stand up tanning bed.
