I came into the Dundrum tanning shop for my first sunbed. I was unsure of everything and how to use the bed or how long I should do. A young worker named Allie was very helpful and kind to me and gave me the best advice and told me step by step how to do it and what would be the safest time and such. She also recommended a tanning shot and cream which I bought. I enjoyed my first sunbed and will definitely be back with this kind of service.

FAQs About The Tanning Shop Ireland Sunbeds
Which Sunbed Should I Use?
Our trained tanning consultants will gladly help you choose the best equipment to suit your individual goals and preferences. Our team will discuss the different options available at your local Irish tanning salon, including stand-up and lay-down tanning beds, our sensor-controlled sunbed, and red light beds.
Are Stand-Up or Lay-Down Sunbeds Better?
What you determine as ‘better’ is entirely down to your preferences. Stand-up sunbeds are ideal for those looking for a quick tanning session, while lay-down beds are a great option for people wanting a more relaxing, comfortable experience.
How to use a Lay-Down Sunbed?
For optimal lay-down tanning comfort, lie flat on your back with your arms and legs relaxed. Keep your arms a few inches away from your sides with your palms facing up, and maintain a slight bend in your knees for even coverage. Don’t forget to put on your free protective eyewear before starting your session.
Functionality varies between sunbeds, so our consultants will give you a rundown of features, usage, and recommended minutes when you visit the salon.
Should You Turn Over on a Lay-Down Sunbed?
No, there’s no need to turn over during your session. Our advanced sunbeds are expertly engineered to provide perfectly even exposure. Turning around during your session could also damage the sunbed acrylics, so we recommend staying as still as possible.
How to use a Stand-Up Sunbed?
Using a standing tanning bed couldn’t be easier. Simply step into the centre of the booth and try to stand as still as possible during your session. Several of our stand-up sunbeds also include handles to keep your arms elevated without causing strain and fatigue. Remember to always wear protective eyewear before beginning your session.
How Does the Sun Angel Work?
A true game-changer in responsible tanning, the Ergoline Sun Angel scans the most exposed area of your skin (your forehead) and the least exposed (the back of the arm or upper thigh) to customise the lamps’ behaviour to suit your skin. Any areas scanned must be free of birthmarks, freckles, or cosmetics to ensure an accurate reading.
What Does a Red Light Therapy Bed Do?
Our state-of-the-art red light beds are equipped with a combination of red and near-infrared lights that penetrate the skin to stimulate the mitochondria in your body’s cells. The wavelengths cause mitochondria to produce more energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), boosting cellular function to promote overall health and wellness.
Our red light therapy beds treat the whole body at once, making them ideal for complete skin rejuvenation, muscle recovery, pain relief, mood boosts, and so much more.
How Long Should You Lie in a Red Light Therapy Bed?
We recommend starting your journey into red light therapy with a 10-minute taster session to see how your body responds to the treatment. Provided you experience no adverse reactions, you can enjoy regular sessions of up to 15 minutes.
