Airbrush Tanning

The perfect sunless tan is now available.  The Center for Cosmetic Dermatology offers a safe and healthy way to sustain a year-round tan without the threat of skin cancer or damage from the sun. Our special airbrush tanning system atomizes the spray into a cooling vapor that assures an even tan that is personally applied by a Medical Aesthetician. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) within the spray causes a chemical reaction with the amino acids on the outermost layer of skin to produce a beautiful tan without any damage to the skin. Your aesthetician can help you choose the tone that is most beautiful for you

 

Tanning Do's and Don'ts

Prior to your tanning appointment:

Do exfoliate the morning of or the night before your tan.

Do shave and have manicures and pedicures prior to tanning.

Do bring loose-fitting, dark clothing and sandals to wear after being tanned. 

Do wear an old bathing suit or undergarments.  Wear a strapless top or go topless to eliminate tan lines. .

Do remove makeup prior to tanning.

Don't apply moisturizer, unless your skin is very dry.

Don't wear antiperspirant or deodorant  

Following your tanning appointment:

Don't put on tight clothing.

Don't wash hands, shower, swim, or exercise for 8 hours. 

Don't apply moisturizer until after your first post-tan shower.

Don't sit directly on leather or light-colored fabric seats and furniture the day of your tanning session; sit on a towel or cloth instead.

Finally, Don't Forget Your Sunscreen!  Airbrush sunless tanning does not protect your skin.

Although there have been no known side effects reported with the use of the active ingredient, DHA, we choose to not airbrush pregnant women.
