Important · Health & safety
Tan responsibly. Know the risks.
Sunbed hire is for adults aged 18 and over only. Before you book, please read the health-risk information below — we are legally required to provide it under the Sunbeds Act (Northern Ireland) 2011.
- Skin cancer & ageing
- UV radiation from sunbeds — like sunlight — increases the risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, and accelerates skin ageing. The WHO/IARC classifies UV-emitting tanning devices as Group 1 carcinogenic to humans.
- Eye damage
- UV exposure can cause burns to the cornea (photokeratitis), cataracts and long-term retinal damage. Protective goggles must be worn for every session — one pair is included free with every hire.
- Who must not use a sunbed
- Under-18s (prohibited by law in Northern Ireland), anyone who burns easily or never tans, people with lots of moles/freckles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, photosensitive skin conditions, or who are taking medication that increases UV sensitivity. If in doubt, speak to your GP before hiring.
- Session guidance
- Always follow the session times we provide on delivery. Never use the sunbed more than once in 24 hours. Remove cosmetics and do not use tanning accelerators that are not designed for UV use. Stop immediately if your skin becomes red or sore.
- No health claims
- We do not claim any health benefit from sunbed use. UV tanning is a cosmetic service only. Vitamin D should be obtained through diet, supplements or short periods of outdoor sunlight — not sunbeds.
A note on Melanotan nasal sprays
We do not sell Melanotan ("tanning") nasal sprays or injectables. They are unlicensed, unregulated and have not been tested for safety, quality or effectiveness. The MHRA, Cancer Research UK, Melanoma Focus and The Sunbed Association all warn against their use, and selling them with any health or cosmetic claim is unlawful in the UK.

Just a quick wipe between sessions. We deep-clean and lamp-test the unit before and after every hire.
