Misconceptions about UV Light

The purveyors of sun-scare, in inexplicable blind zeal for their cause, have made some outlandish and unsupportable statements about sunshine, UV, Vitamin D and tanning. Think about this: Because sunshine is free, there is no powerful pro-sun PR lobby aggressively countering these misstatements. Think about it some more: Just imagine if a large pharmaceutical company did own the sun and was able to send you a bill for your monthly sunshine. The mass-media marketing message you got about sunshine – based on the same science that exists today – would be completely positive. The statements that follow show you that, when it comes to “sun scare” marketing is more important than science.

Tan Zone Introduces Collagen Red Light Therapy

Rejuvenating Red Light Collagen Therapy

Skin rejuvenation is no longer a myth, but a matter of having the right knowledge combined with the right application device. Light therapy anti-aging skincare with UV-free collagen fluorescent lamps are the new affordable and rejuvenating alternative to invasive techniques, such as plastic surgery or laser treatments.

Research studies, many experts and dermatologists indicate that red light therapy (or phototherapy) tightens skin and improves skin’s elasticity by using visible light in the 633nm region, which also stimulates our body’s photobiostimulation. This process has a great impact on our connective tissue, the network of our body, which consists primarily of collagen, water and non-collagen proteins. The wavelength activates and speeds up the production of collagen and elastin – two vital skin ingredients responsible for achieving an anti-wrinkle effect.
The advantages of anti-aging light therapy with collagen lamps are simple:

• No harmful side effects
• Free of discomfort
• No damage to the skin
• No pain
• No downtime

And while skin firming products, lasers, and surgery enhance mostly facial skin or other targeted areas, collagen lamps make it easy to give your entire body’s ageing skin a youthful look.
